Compression of Moving Pictures for Digital Cinema Using the MPEG-2 Toolkit
The scope of compression techniques provided in the MPEG-2 toolkit is broad enough to meet today's expectations of the picture quality of digital cinema theatrical presentations with enhancements in rate control, 4:4:4 chroma format color space, and greater color precision than the profiles that are defined for television. This optimization for the unique requirements of digital cinema, while beyond currently defined MPEG profiles, is enabled by the wide range of the MPEG-2 toolkit and can be implemented using standard off-the-shelf silicon devices.
