As the movement towards digital information moves rapidly forward, many industries are looking for efficient and cost-effective ways to utilise this technology.
Already, there are a number of industries that have fully embraced the digital revolution and are reaping the rewards.
Broadcast
Ensuring that information broadcast to the viewer is of the highest possibility quality is the aim of all broadcast engineers. Where digitalisation has distinct advantages over previous analogue systems is in the stability of the information. It can be archived and retrieved, transmitted and retransmitted, processed and manipulated almost without error.
The amount of information that can be stored in digital format is vast and so this needs to be compressed for transmission - encoded.
MPEG-2 is currently the industry standard for distribution of digital video via direct broadcast satellite and DVD.
IT Solutions
Increased amounts of video are also being delivered on high-speed connections such as intranets and cable.
