COMPRESSION: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
The use of compression in the global storage and distribution of video media has long been ubiquitous. Compression significantly reduces video file sizes in server storage or packaged media such as DVD and Blu-ray DiscTM, and it conserves transmission bandwidth requirements for broadcast services such as digital terrestrial television, cable, satellite, and streaming services. The increasing number of options leads to a question for system designers and integrators: “is the use of link compression good, bad, or neutral?” In answering this question, it is beneficial to first consider what compression is, and the different types therein.
