ISO/IEC 13818-2:2013

Information technology — Generic coding of moving pictures and associated audio information — Part 2: Video

ISO/IEC 13818-2:2013 specifies a coded representation of video data and the decoding process required to reconstruct pictures. It provides a generic video coding scheme which serves a wide range of applications, bit rates, picture resolutions and qualities. Its basic coding algorithm is a hybrid of motion compensated prediction and discrete cosine transform (DCT). Pictures to be coded can be either interlaced or progressive. Necessary algorithmic elements are integrated into a single syntax, and a limited number of subsets are defined in terms of Profile (functionalities) and Level (parameters) to facilitate practical use of this generic video coding International Standard.

Informacijska tehnologija - Splošno kodiranje gibljivih slik in pripadajočih avdio informacij - 2. del: Video

To priporočilo | mednarodni standard določa kodirano upodobitev slikovnih informacij za digitalne medije za shranjevanje in digitalno video komunikacijo ter določa postopke dekodiranja. Upodobitev podpira prenos s stalno bitno hitrostjo, prenos s spremenljivo bitno hitrostjo, naključni dostop, kanalske skoke, prilagodljivo dekodiranje, urejanje bitnih tokov ter posebne funkcije, kot so predvajanje hitro naprej, predvajanje hitro nazaj, počasni posnetek, prekinitev in mirujoče slike. To priporočilo | mednarodni standard je naprej združljiv s standardom ISO/IEC 11172-2 in naraščujoče ali
padajoče združljiv s formati EDTV, HDTV, SDTV.
To priporočilo | mednarodni standard se uporablja predvsem za digitalne medije za shranjevanje ter video oddajanje in komunikacijo. Medij za shranjevanje je lahko z dekodirnikom povezan neposredno ali prek komunikacijskih sredstev, kot so vodila, lokalna omrežja (LAN) ali telekomunikacijske povezave.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical
Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of
ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical committees
established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC
technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental
and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work. In the field of information
technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of the joint technical committee is to prepare International Standards. Draft International
Standards adopted by the joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for voting. Publication as

coding of moving pictures and associated audio information:
 Part 1: Systems
 Part 2: Video
 Part 3: Audio
 Part 4: Conformance testing
