  1. Open Standards – the Fuel for Ubiquitous Multimedia Deployment Klaus Diepold Technische Universität München Munich, Germany Multimedia at Your Fingertips Delft, November 2006 Diepold - Multimedia at Your Fingertips

  2. Open Standards • Open Standards vs. Proprietary (Closed) Standards • I like Standards – there are some many to choose from • Standards for Mulitmedia  MPEG Standards (ISO/IEC) Diepold - Multimedia at Your Fingertips

  3. Standardisation – the MPEG Way • Standard: The process by which a group of individuals recognise the advantage of all doing certain things in an agreed way and codify that agreement. Diepold - Multimedia at Your Fingertips

  4. Standards Help Markets Mature • Compatibility over device generations • Interoperability between vendors • Minimize dependency on a single vendor • No one company can service all the needs • No one implementation is best for every use • Standards facilitate competition on the product or service level • Benefit for the Consumer Diepold - Multimedia at Your Fingertips

  5. Standards Achieve High Quality • Specification captures best core technologies • Standards provide many degrees of freedom • Law of large numbers will prevail • Cast of thousands working in the open to improve quality • Economy of scale Diepold - Multimedia at Your Fingertips

  6. Standards Survive the Test of Time • NTSC – 1953 • PAL – 1963 • VHS -1976 (industry standard though) • Audio CD - 1980 • TCP/IP - 1981 • MPEG-1, MP3 - 1992 • MPEG-2 – 1994 • DVB – 1994 • DVD – 1995 Diepold - Multimedia at Your Fingertips

MPEG-21 “Multimedia Framework” MPEG-A “Multimedia Application Formats” Diepold - Multimedia at Your Fingertips

  8. MPEG-A: Multimedia Application Formats New ! • Large Number of diverse MPEG Standards • difficult to oversee all the technical options • evaluate all their relative benefits. • Collection of tools is no longer enough • Complete solutions are needed • Industry consorita define application specific combinations of standardized tools • DVB, DVD,… • 3GPP… • Etc.
