Thesis deals with multimedia signal comparison of compression options focused on video and advanced codecs. Specifically it describes the encoding and decoding of video recordings according to the MPEG standard. The theoretical part of the thesis describes characteristic properties of the video signal and justification for the need to use recording and transmission compression. There are also described methods for elimination of encoded video signal redundancy and irrelevance. Further on are discussed ways of measuring the video signal quality. A separate chapter is focused on the characteristics of currently used and promising codecs. In the practical part of the thesis were created functions in Matlab environment. These functions were implemented into graphic user interface that simulates the activity of functional blocks of the encoder and decoder. Based on user-specified input parameters it performs encoding and decoding of any given picture, composed of images in RGB format, and displays the outputs of individual functional blocks. There are implemented algorithms for the initial processing of the input sequence including sub-sampling, as well as DCT, quantization, motion compensation and their inverse operations. Separate chapters are dedicated to the realisation of codec description in the Matlab environment and to the individual processing steps output. Further on are mentioned compress algorithm comparisons and the impact of parameter change onto the final signal. The findings are summarized in conclusion.

(in English) Object of this thesis is to demonstrate compact characteristics and analysis of YouTube portal, explain its importance, content and area of provided services. -- The first chapter is applied to basic characteristics of YouTube portal, the second chapter deals with description of procedures, which are used by the portal. The third chapter is all about video. There are discussed issues about video on PC in general, and afterwards, there are described processes related to videos on YouTube. YouTube users, YouTube partners and projects are mainspring of the fourth chapter. Special subchapter outlines possibilites of YouTube in relation to information studies and librarianship. At the end of the fourth chapter user offences are mentioned. The fifth chapter is composed of introduction of several direct and indirect YouTube competitors. The sixth, and the last chapter, contains author's evaluation of YouTube portal [Author's abstract].

This thesis deals with modern methods of a lossy still image and video compression. Wavelet transformation and SPIHT algorithm also belong to these methods. In second half of this thesis, a videocodec is implemented based on acquired knowledge. This codec uses Daubechies wavelets to analyse an image. Afterwards there is a modified SPIHT algorithm applied on gained coefficients. A lot of effort was put in order to optimize this computation. It is possible to use the created codec in Video for Windows, DirectShow and FFmpeg multimedia frameworks. At the end of this thesis, commonly used codecs are compared with newly created one.

This work deals with module of the FITkit platform, which makes it able to play sound files like mp3, ogg, etc. The module also adds to FITkit some new peripherals: color LCD display with touch screen and USB interface, by which we can connect flash drive.

The first goal of diploma thesis is to study the basic principles of video signal compression. Introduction to techniques used to reduce irrelevancy and redundancy in the video signal. The second goal is, on the basis of information about compression tools, implement the individual compression tools in the programming environment of Matlab and assemble simple model of the video codec. Diploma thesis contains a description of the three basic blocks, namely - interframe coding, intraframe coding and coding with variable length word - according the standard MPEG-2.
