Center for Digital Video & Media Research

电视的模拟技术正在向最近批准的FCC高清晰度电视标准转变，该标准是数字的。 虽然数字视频现在开始实施，研究是必要的，以加强和扩大目前的能力。 由于它是新媒体通信可能性的重要组成部分，其他图像传输也同样影响着从模拟到数字格式的过渡。 为了确定多大学工业/大学合作研究中心（I/UCRC）的可行性和生存能力，以解决这一广泛领域的数字视频和媒体研究，两个规划赠款被授予。 最初，一个被授予伦斯勒理工学院（RPI）的I/UCRC数字视频（EEC-9615143）。 随后，新泽西理工学院（NJIT）和普林斯顿大学（EEC-9711581）获得了规划拨款，将该中心的研究扩展到数字视频和媒体研究。这个新的多大学I/UCRC数字视频和媒体研究符合I/UCRC计划的标准。该中心的研究范围将包括数字视频和媒体系统的创建，设计，交付，利用和制造。 研究领域将涉及数字图像，视频和音频处理;无线和有线通信;网络和高速交换;媒体和多媒体的创建和集成;数字存档和检索;以及VLSI架构和制造。

ABSTRACTEEC-985213AkansuThe analog technology of television is in the process of changing to the recently approved FCC High Definition Television Standard which is digital. Although digital video is now beginning to be implement, research is necessary to enhance and broaden the current capability. Since it is a significant integral part of the new media communication possibilities other image transmission are similarly impacting the transition from analog to digital format. To determine the feasibility and viability of a multi-university Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC) for Digital Video and Media Research to address this broad area, two planning grants were awarded. Initially one was awarded to Rensselaer Polytechnics Institute (RPI) for an I/UCRC for Digital Video (EEC-9615143). Subsequently a planning grant was awarded to the New Jersey Institute of technology (NJIT) and Princeton University (EEC-9711581) expanding the Center's research to Digital Video and Media Research.This new multi-university I/UCRC for Digital Video and Media Research meets the criteria for the I/UCRC program. The scope of research of this center will encompass the creation, design, delivery, utilization, and fabrication of digital video and media systems. Areas of research will address digital image, video and audio processing; communications-wireless and cable; networking and high speed switching; creation and integration of media and multimedia; digital archiving and retrieval; and VLSI architectures and fabrication.
