Abstract

The rapid escalation in bandwidth of fiber optic network technologies, such as FDDI and SONET/ATM, has made viable a number of real-time and compressed digital video transmission methods for various workstation multi-media applications. This paper examines two specific packet oriented approaches that offer compressed and uncompressed encoding, and may be used with synchronous stream channels and bursty asynchronous packet channels. A comparison of the performance merits of each is made as well as possible applications in the tactical battlefield
