EXAM COVERAGE - DVEP (Digital Video and Encoding Principles /
MPEG & AVC Concepts)
The DVEP exam covers fundamental and advanced concepts in digital
video compression, encoding, and transmission. Topics include video
compression standards such as MPEG-2 and MPEG-4, handling
artifacts like macroblocking, and object-based encoding where video
elements can be transmitted separately. It also includes H.264/AVC,
covering sample depth per Y, Cr, and Cb channels, multi-rate
capabilities for adaptive bitrate streaming, and efficient compression
techniques. Key signal processing principles, including the Nyquist
sampling theorem, are tested, along with network considerations like
,under-run conditions, distributed server architectures, and static
image components (sprites). The exam emphasizes understanding
video layers, delivery, synchronization, compression artifacts, and
network transmission principles to ensure efficient and high-quality
video encoding and streaming.
In the H.264/AVC main profile, what is the sample depth per Y, Cr, and
Cb
8
Which are the layers of the MPEG-4 architecture?
delivery, synchronization and media
, How is the artifact blockiness (macroblocking) in MPEG-2 dealt with in
MPEG-4
objects can be encoded and transmitted separately to the decoder
According to the Nyquist theorem, what must be the desired sampling
rate?
at least 2 times the frequency max
Which of the following statements describe an under run condition?
the average Ethernet inter-packet gap timing at the delivery rate is less
than the buffer can handle
