The past years have seen an explosion in the use of digital media. Industry is making signifi cant investments to deliver digital audio, image and video information to consumers andcustomers. A new infrastructure of digital audio, image and video recorders and players; onlineservices and electronic commerce is rapidly being deployed. At the same time, major rpora-tions are converting their audio, image and video archives to an electronic form. Digital mediaoffer several distinct advantages over analog media. The quality of digital audio, image and videosignals is higher than that of their analog counterparts. Editing is easy because one can access theexact discrete locations that need to be changed. Copying is simple with no loss of fidelity. A copyof digital media is identical to the original. Digital audio, image and video are easily transmittedacross networked information systems. These advantages have opened up many new possibilities.Multimedia consists of Multimedia data + Set of interactions. Multi-media data is informally considered as the collection of three Ms: multisource, multitype andmultiformat data. The interactions among the multimedia components consist of complex rela-tionships without which multimedia would be a simple set of visual, audio and other data.Multimedia and multimedia communication can be globally viewed as a hierarchical sys-tem. The multimedia software and applications provide a direct interactive environment forusers. When a computer requires information from remote computers or servers, multimediainformation must travel through computer networks. Because the amount of informationinvolved in the transmission of video and audio can be substantial, the multimedia informationmust be compressed before it can be sent through the network in order to reduce the communi-cation delay. Constraints, such as limited delay and jitter, are used to ensure a reasonable videoand audio effect at the receiving end. Therefore, communication networks are undergoing con-stant improvements in order to provide for multimedia communication capabilities.
本书首先介绍了多媒体通信的基本元素、数字视频、信号处理的基本方法，各类多媒体通信网络及协议，并重点介绍了多媒体通信的一系列国际标准。该书的特点是对近年新涌现的新技术、新标准介绍得较全面与细致，但同时又不失基本的原理。本书可作为通信、计算机、电子等专业的本科或研究生教材，也适合从事相关专业的工程师作为参考使用。
