The H.264/AVC is the latest standard of video compression/decompression for future broadband system.
This standard was produced through the Joint Video Team (JVT) from the ITU-T Video Coding Experts Group and the ISO/IEC MPEG institutionalization advisory group. In this undertaking H.264 decoder utilitarian square, for example, Context based Binary arithmetic coding (CABAC), Inverse Quantization and Inverse Discrete Cosine Transform are composed utilizing Verilog. CABAC incorporates three fundamental building squares of setting demonstrating, double math coding and Inverse binarization. Here the compacted bit-stream from NAL unit is extended by CABAC module to produce different linguistic structure components.
Here the fundamental math unraveling circuit units are intended to share effectively by all linguistic structure components. Opposite Quantization and Inverse Discrete Cosine Transform practical squares are utilized to recreate the first picture pixels esteems.1. INTRODUCTIONThe H.264 is a new video compression scheme that is becoming the worldwide digital video standard for consumer electronics and personal computers.
In particular, H.264 has already been selected as a key compression scheme (codec) for the next generation of optical disc formats, HD-DVD and Blu-ray disc. (Sometimes referred to as BD or BD-ROM) H.264 has been adopted by the Motion Picture Experts Group (MPEG) to be a key Video compression scheme in the MPEG-4 format for digital media exchange. H.
264 is sometimes referred to as “MPEG-4 Part 10” (part of the MPEG-4 Specification), or as “AVC” (MPEG-4’s Advanced Video Coding). This new compression scheme has been developed in response to technical factors And the needs of an evolving market: • MPEG-2 and other older video codec’s are relatively inefficient. • Much greater computational resources are available today. • High Definition video is becoming pervasive, and there is a strong need to store And transmit more efficiently the higher quantity of data of HD (about 6 times more than Standard Definition video) H.264, MPEG-4 Part 10, or AVC (for Advanced Video Coding), is a digital video codec standard that is noted or achieving very high data compression. It was written by the ITU-T Video Coding Experts Group (VCEG) together with the ISO/IEC Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) as the product of a collective partnership effort known as the Joint Video Team (JVT). It aims to increase compression rate significantly while transmitting high quality image at both high and low bit rates. Three profiles have first been defined, each with several levels.

1 General IntroductionH.264 represents the state of the art in current video coding standards. In the consumer electronics market it is more often adapted. We see movies in the cinemas, we rent movies on DVD or Blue Ray disks and we watch movies and our popular series every evening on the television. Nowadays we can also download our favorite movies and series from Internet and watch them on our computers, HD-television or mobile device.
We can even record our own movies with a digital camcorder, edit them on our computer and show them to our family at birthday parties.In the last couple of years there was a tremendous shift in the world of consumer video from VHS to DVD to Blue Ray and to even more exotic standards found on Internet. The demand for better quality pictures, smaller sizes, lower energy consumption, lower cost of appliances and watching movies every time, any time, anywhere has driven this shift to even better video compression standards even further.
To provide better compression of video images the Moving Picture Experts Group and the Video Coding Expert Group (MPEG and VCEG) have developed a successor to the earlier MPEG-4 and H.263 standards. The new standard is called Advanced Video Coding (AVC) and is published jointly as MPEG-4 Part 10 and H.26414, 16. It achieves very high compression efficiency compared to earlier standards19. It can handle a wide range of applications and is more friendly to networks such as the internet.
The downside of the increased compression efficiency is that the decoder complexity also grows. Context-based Adaptive Binary Arithmetic Coding (CABAC) is one of the two alternative entropy coding methods specified in H.264. The other alternative is called Context-based Adaptive Variable Length Coding (CAVLC). The H.264 standard improves the compression efficiency up to 50% with CABAC entailing a frame rate increase of 25% to 30% with bit rate reduction up to 16%.
