8. MPEG2 – General Overview 5.1 Channel Support 5.1 Channel Support Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) Advanced Audio Coding (AAC)  Optional Preprocessing  Bit-stream Formatter  Prediction – helps to optimize quantizer  Noiseless Coding  3 Profiles Main – Variable length DCT, noiseless coding, etc. Main – Variable length DCT, noiseless coding, etc. Low Complexity – No temporal noise shaping & time domain prediction Low Complexity – No temporal noise shaping & time domain prediction Sampling Rate Scalability – preprocessor allows for sampling rates of 6, 12, 18, & 24 KHz Sampling Rate Scalability – preprocessor allows for sampling rates of 6, 12, 18, & 24 KHz

9. MPEG4 - General Overview Consists of all previous MPEG iterations Consists of all previous MPEG iterations Uses 3 Core Coders Uses 3 Core Coders  Parametric coding for low bit rate speech  Analysis-by-synthesis for medium bit rates  Sub-band/Transform coding for high bit rates Low Delay (LD) Encoding / Decoding Low Delay (LD) Encoding / Decoding Quality Scalability Quality Scalability
