MPEG video compression future

Abstract

Looking into the future, more and more of regular and 3D video material will be distributed with increased resolution and quality demand. MPEG foresees further proliferation of high definition video content with resolutions beyond today's HDTV resolutions of 1980 × 1080 pel. While storage of such video content on solid-state discs or hard discs will not pose a very challenging problem in the future, the distribution of these signals over the Internet, Blu-Ray discs or broadcast channels will, since the expansion of the infrastructure is always an expensive and slow process.
