How to compare SMAC-M with H.264?
H.264 is one of the video compression technologies that can be used in MPEG-4 system. H.264 is also known as MPEG-4 Part 10. On the contrary, the video compression technology usually being used in MPEG-4 system is H.263 that is also known as MPEG-4 Part 2. No matter if H.263 or H.264 are implemented in the MPEG-4 coder, both of them would come with the characteristics of the traditional video coder i.e. video transmission and recording performances would be affected by each other. MPEG-4 and H.264 both employ Motion Predictive Coding in order to remove the redundancy between successive frames. One of the drawbacks of this technique is the non-uniform image quality on successive frames. Since both MPEG-4 and H.264 are not designed particularly for remote video surveillance applications hence their error handling is not good enough for streaming video over very bursty communication channels, like broadband Internet or mobile data networks. So both MPEG-4 and H.264 would result in signifi
