About the Book

This book describes the two key technologies in the revolution of digital video, namely MPEG-2 and ATM. These technologies are the central enabling factors for services like video on demand or digital video broadcasting. The understanding of these technologies is of importance to mainly two industry groups: people in the TV/broadcast industry and people working in the telecommunications area.
