MID SEMESTER QUIZ 2018 / 2019

Video Digital
3 A, B, C, D, E

1. Video coding standards

a. Describe two features incorporated in the H.263 video coding standard that helped to improve the
coding efficiency over the earlier H.261 video coding standard.
b. Why do MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 use the GOP structure with periodic I-frames? For video
conferencing or video phone applications, can the encoder insert I-frames periodically? What may
be the problem?
c. What is scalable coding? Why is it beneficial for video streaming applications?
d. What is object-based coding? What are the three types of information specified for each object?
Which standard uses object-based coding?
2. Digital TV systems
a. Describe the major components in the US ATSC system and the method used for each component.
b. Repeat the same for the Europe DVB system.
3. Consider the transmission of digital signals over a channel with 5 MHz bandwidth.
a. If we use 8 ASK for modulating the digital bits into an analog waveform, what is the maximum bit
rate the channel can support?
b.Now, suppose we further use a channel code with rate 2/3 to protect the pay load information, what
is the maximum bit rate at which the information can be sent?
4. Describe how to map a digital signal to an analog waveform using 4-QAM. For the following sequence
of bits, 01101100, sketch the resulting analog signal.
5. Why does the receiver of a video streaming session need a buffer? What is the advantages of using a
large buffer? What is the disadvantage? What is the application-layer protocol developed for Internet
video streaming? What does the protocol govern? What protocols can be used for the data transport?
6. What is the acceptable delay for effective audio/video phone/conferencing applications? What layer
does the SIP protocol resides? What is the primary functions of the SIP protocol? What transport layer
protocols can it work with?
