Course objectives
Taking this lecture, student gets an overview in the area of multimedia processing and transfer through computer networks. Basic principles of audio and picture (including video) coding are presented, as well as basic transfer protocols and formats (H.323, SIP, H.261, H.263). The lecture also includes foundations of audio and video acquisition, including synchronization, cut and postproduction.
Graduate will be able to understand and explain principles of audio and video coding.
Graduate will be also able to design a system for capture and transmission of multimedia data through a computer network.
Graduate will be also able to select appropriate coding formats for multimedia, taking into account the requested quality and properties of the computer network.
Graduate will be also able to take care of simple post-production activities including cut.
