MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group) -
The Moving Picture Experts Group develops standards for digital video and audio compression. It
operates under the auspices of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). The MPEG
standards are an evolving series, each designed for a different purpose.
MPEG-2 -
MPEG-2 is the designation for a group of audio and video coding standards, and is typically used to
encode audio and video for broadcast signals, including digital satellite and Cable TV. MPEG-2, with
some modifications, is also the coding format used by standard commercial DVD movies.
MPEG-4 -
MPEG-4 is a group of audio and video coding standards and related technology. The primary uses for
the MPEG-4 standard are web (streaming media) and CD distribution, conversational (videophone), and
broadcast television.
Most of the features included in MPEG-4 are left to individual developers to decide whether to implement
them or not. This means that there are probably no complete implementations of the entire MPEG-4 set
of standards. To deal with this, the standard includes the concept of "profiles" and "levels", allowing a
specific set of capabilities to be defined in a manner appropriate for a subset of applications.
Multicast -
Bandwidth-conserving technology that reduces bandwidth usage by simultaneously delivering a single
stream of information to multiple network recipients.
Multiplexer -
A multiplexer is a high-speed switch that provides full-screen images from up to 16 analog cameras.
Multiplexers can playback everything that happened on any one camera with no interference from the
other cameras on the system.
Network connectivity -
The physical (wired or wireless) and logical (protocol) connection of a computer network or an individual
device to a network, such as the Internet or a LAN.
NTSC (National Television System Committee) -
NTSC is the television and video standard in the United States. NTSC delivers 525 lines at 60
half-frames/second.
NWay - is a telecommunications protocol used to automatically negotiate the highest available
transmission speed between network devices. The NWay protocol is also known as auto-negotiation or
auto-sensing.
