MPEG-3

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

MPEG-3was the designation for an abandoned plan to create a group of audio and video coding standards agreed upon by theMoving Picture Experts Group(MPEG) designed to handleHDTVsignals at1080p[1]in the range of 20 to 40megabits per second.[2]MPEG-3 was launched as an effort to address the need of an HDTV standard while work onMPEG-2was underway, but it was soon discovered that MPEG-2, at high data rates, would accommodate HDTV.[3]Thus, in 1992[4]HDTV was included as a separate profile in the MPEG-2 standard and MPEG-3 was rolled into MPEG-2.[5]
