SCHEDULE 1
This Schedule describes MMT Development and Programming Services to be provided
by MMT to TCPD under this Professional Services Agreement dated as of September
1, 2003.
Description of Work:
----------------------
Development of prototype of coder/decoder family based on wavelet compression
technology for computer digital audio and video processing under MS Windows
operating system.
Requirements:
-------------
1. Coder/decoder family includes codecs of two types - for Video-on-demand
("VOD codec") purpose and for use in videoconferencing system ("VConf codec").
Both types of codecs have to implement compression technology based on
processing of video frames with wavelet function.
2. Audio stream has to be compressed with the same or other technology and has
to be synchronized with video stream.
3. VOD codec will consist of two parts - function sets in different
executables to be developed. One set (coder) shall be implemented in transcoding
system that provides conversion from initial movie format into the internal
compressed format specific for the system being developed. File of this internal
format (extension is *.vod) has also to be encrypted (or has to include some
encrypted parts) with strong encryption algorithm using open key. This feature
will give copyright protection to video delivery system. Compressed movie file
will be decrypted in video player using private key of particular user. Video
player shall include the second part of VOD codec - decoder. To reproduce the
movie in video player window the decoder will decompress the decrypted stream
into virtual (that means it has no disk image) memory stream of AVI format. AVI
stream can be shown on the screen using MS Windows system functions. In the case
of VOD it is necessary to have several levels of losses (quality levels) and the
best quality should have no losses or small insignificant losses.
4. VConf codec shall consist of one DLL for both coder and decoder. In this
case significant losses are allowed. For this codec there also has to be a
possibility to adjust quality but it has to correspond to bandwidth of Internet
connection for particular video-audio stream. Medium level quality has to
correspond to connection of 128k bps. VConf codec DLL supposed to be ActiveX and
can be used as a filter of MS DirectShow graph. Another possible variant when
VConf codec DLL has COM wrapper for use as a DirectShow filter.
5. Basic functions for compression and decompression of video-audio stream are
things of developer's choice but supposing identical use of them in both VOD
codec and VConf codec. DirectShow calling and naming conventions also can be
helpful but not a must.
6. Due to high requirements of wavelet compression method to the speed of
calculations decoders of both types on maximum quality level have to provide
smooth full-screen playback of video-audio stream on Intel or AMD CPU of 600MHz
or higher. The same hardware requirements shall be applied to VConf coder
(produced stream has to be smooth and without any delay or distortion). Use of
multimedia extension instructions of both CPU is possible and desirable.
7. Software implementation of codecs of both types shall have useful set of
events. There also has to be stub functions for copyright control, streaming
information (quality of service evaluation) and testing.
8. Final form of codecs family implementation is
- VOD video player, Win32 executable with functions of decryption,
decompression and reproduction the movie on the screen,
- VOD transcoder, Win32 executable with functions of conversion from initial
movie format into compressed and encrypted format with no quality losses or
flexible level of losses,
