K-4 Video compression LSI: Past, present, and future trends

In 1995, MPEG-2 became a video coding international standard. Since then, a wide variety of video compression LSIs have been developed and actually deployed in many applications such as digital HDTV broadcasting, TV conference, mobile and so forth. Since video coding technology is essential to the efficient storage and transmission of video data, it continues to play an important role in ubiquitous (anywhere, anytime, etc) and coming ambient (safe, comfortable, etc) information society. In this talk, I will provide video compression LSI technologies from past, present and future points of view.
