Study Group on SMPTE Documentation of Television Recording Formats Employing Compression Techniques (V16.06)
A key issue and major distinguishing factor amongst manufacturers of compression-based digital storage devices are the proprietary algorithms used to compress the video data to be stored. The compression algorithms employed can have a significant impact on the resultant picture quality and deliverable features, readily differentiating one manufacturer over another. Similar to other video compression technology developers involved in such standardization efforts as MPEG-1 and MPEG-2, the algorithm developers for video storage equipment based on compression techniques are hesitant to include algorithm descriptions in standards documents.
