Workload:
Workload of student for successfully completing the course. Each ECTS credit represents 30 working hours. These are the combined effort of face-to-face time, post-processing the subject of the lecture, exercises and preparation for the exam.

The total workload is distributed on the semester (01.04.-30.09. during the summer term, 01.10.-31.03. during the winter term).
30 class hours (= 22.5 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 90 hours (equivalent to 3 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 67.5 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):
None.
Recommended as prerequisite for:
Module coordinator:
Prof. Dr. Martin Buchholz
Lecturer: Prof. Dr. Martin Buchholz

Learning outcomes:
After successful completion of this module, students will be able to classify and describe the basics of studio technology, source coding (audio and video coding) and channel coding (error protection), as well as the necessary transmission technology and its technical implementation. This will enable them to apply the most important methods of video coding (MPEG-4, H. 264) and transmission standards in their fields of application and assess them with regard to efficiency, complexity and their interactions in the subsystems.
