Abstract
Ask any of the video compression engineers what their own Research & Development departments are doing in terms of ‘next generation’ ideas and they tend to immediately fall silent. It isn’t that they are reluctant to speak, but they are cautious about giving too much away to potential rivals. However, the key compression players like Ericsson/Tandberg, Cisco, Harmonic/Scopus and Snell are all working hard on their ‘super secret’ ideas that include taking a fresh look at compression technology. To succeed they have to take us beyond the theoretical extremity known as the Shannon Limit.
