PREFACE and ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
This book is a light technical introduction to the three technical foundations for multimedia applications across the Internet: communications (principles, technologies and networking), compressive encoding of digital media, and Internet protocols and services. The QoS (Quality of Service) required for audio, image and video media comes from communication networks with high capacity and provisions for multiple user access, from the compressive encodings that hold information rates to levels consistent with current storage media and communication networks, a
