All the contributing systems elements are explained through descriptive text and numerous illustrative figures; the result is a book well-suited toward non-specialists, preferably with technical background, who need well-composed tutorial introductions to the three foundation areas. The text discusses the latest advances in digital audio and video encoding, optical and wireless communications technologies, high-speed access networks, and IP-based media streaming, all crucial enablers of the multimedia Internet.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45283432726679,"sku":"9781441936523","price":8161.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781441936523.webp?v=1769304974","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-multimedia-internet-9781441936523","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
