One of the three types of frames that are used in MPEG-2 coded signals. The frame in an MPEG sequence, or GOP (Group of Pictures), that contains all the data to recreate a complete image. The original information is compressed using DCT.

The IMA has selected the 4:1 ADPCM audio compression scheme from Intel’s DVI as the preferred compressed audio date type for interactive media platforms. Intel had offered the algorithm as an open standard to the IMA. The algorithm compresses 16-bit audio data at up to 44.1 kHz sampling into 4-bit ADPCM words.

IRT is the research and development branch of the public broadcasters in Germany (the ARD and ZDF), Austria (the ORF) and in Switzerland (the SRG). Situated in Munich, Germany, the IRT participates in both national and international research projects, and is highly involved in broadcasting system development.
Specifically, IRT has participated in the development of digital audio bit rate reduction, and is one of the three licensors of MPEG Layer II of which the IRT conducts conformance tests.

IMA has been active in the definition of the DVD through its DVD Special Interest Group (IMA DVD SIG).
The IMA DVD SIG is a committee of DVD manufacturers working for interactive DVDs by establishing requirements and influencing specifications.
Industry:Software
Established in 1993 by eight industry vendors for the purpose of creating, promoting, and encouraging the standardisation and evolution of an open, vendor-neutral, cross-platform colour management system architecture and components.

The IEC and its affiliated International organisation for standardisation (ISO) are the two major global standards-making groups. They are concerned with establishing standards that promote interchange of products, agreement upon methods of evaluation, and resolution of nonfunctional differences among national standards. They are structured as an international federation of the more than 50 national standards organizations. The USA is represented by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
Industry:Software
A Geneva based organisation for many of the national standardisation bodies.
Together with the International Electrotechnical Commission, IEC, ISO concentrates its efforts on harmonising national standards all over the world.
The results of these activities are published as ISO standards. Among them are, for instance, the metric system of units, international stationery sizes, all kinds of bolts and nuts, rules for technical drawings, electrical connectors, security regulations, computer protocols, file formats, bicycle components, ID cards, programming languages, International Standard Book Numbers (ISBN). Over 10,000 ISO standards have been published so far and you surely get in contact with a lot of things each day that conform to ISO standards you never heard of. By the way, ISO is not an acronym for the organisation in any language. It’s a wordplay based on the English/French initials and the Greek-derived prefix iso- meaning “same.” Within ISO, ISO/IEC Joint Technical Committee 1 (JTC1) deals with information technology.
