Topic:DSP – The Technology Behind Multimedia
Abstract:The multimedia products that we enjoy today share a common technology backbone: Digital Signal Processing (DSP). The digital revolution for consumers started with the introduction of the Compact Disc (CD) format for music distribution. With the increasing computing power and lower cost of digital processing resulting from Moore’s Law, advanced signal processing algorithms have allowed consumer products such as HDTV, DVD and Blu-ray, MP3 players, multimedia capable smart phones, and audio/video streaming. This presentation will look into how analog signals such as sound and pictures are brought in and out of the digital domain for communication, storage, transmission, processing and playback, as well as some of the DSP algorithms. Slides
