Abstract
Digital SDTV (Standard Definition Television) video signals have a data rate of 270 Mbit/s. This data rate is much too high for broadcasting purposes, which is why they are subjected to a compression process before being processed for transmission. The 270 Mbit/s must be compressed to about 2...6 Mbit/s — a very high compression factor which, however, is possible due to the use of a variety of redundancy and irrelevance reduction mechanisms.
