Answer:

  1. Please.
  2. Paul Dirac
  3. Erwin Schroedinger

The Beeb’s R&D division created a fully open non-patent-encumbered video codec and named it after Dirac. They also release/sponsor a freely available high-speed implementation of Dirac in C called Schroedinger, named after the man himself.

  1. Rc Says:

    Dirac is a prototype algorithm for the encoding and decoding of raw video. It was presented by the BBC in January 2004 as the basis of a new codec for the transmission of video over the Internet. BBC named it after the name of physicist Paul Dirac(2). The second implementation of Dirac codec is called Schrodinger Project (named after Erwin Schrodinger(3)). Both Dirac and Schrodinger have won a Nobel together.


  2. Vijay Shankar Says:

    2 – Dirac, 3 – Schrodinger.
    Connect – BBC uses a codec named after Dirac and is now working on another one to be named after Schrodinger.

    1)BBC
    2)Pual Dirac
    3)Schrodinger

    The Dirac codec presented by the BBC as the basis of a new codec for the transmission of video over the Internet and the Schrodinger project is the second Phase of the same

    the BBCs Video Codec is called Dirac .. No idea about the third guy.


  5. amith Says:

    Dirac(codec) is a prototype algorithm for the encoding and decoding of raw video which was presented by the BBC.

    A second implementation of the Dirac codec is called Schrödinger.


  6. Rohan Says:

    dirac codec.. codename scrodinger project was presented by the BBC


  7. svgreatest Says:

    Dirac and Schrödinger are codecs by BBC


  8. nishansolo Says:

    Connect – Dirac Codec

    1. BBC – Dirac Codec was presented by the BBC in January 2004 as the basis of a new codec for the transmission of video over the Internet.

    2. Paul Dirac – The Codec is named in honour of Paul Dirac.

    3. Erwin Schrödinger – A second implementation of the Dirac codec called “Schrödinger” aims to provide portable libraries.


  9. Ananta Says:

    Dirac Codec


  10. priyananda Says:

    Connect is Dirac.

    1. BBC’s video codec is called Dirac.
    2. PAM Dirac himself.
    3. Erwin Shroedinger, who shared the nobel prize with PAM Dirac.


  11. anirudh patil Says:

    Dirac and schrodinger..
    The codecs developed and used by BBC


  12. Rahulk Says:

    1) BBC
    2) Paul Dirac
    3) Erwin Schrodinger.

    1) has named its video codec after 2) and 3)

  13. udupendra Says:

    Nice question.

    BBC video codecs.

  14. Ajay Parasuram Says:

    Project Schrodinger was the codename used by BBC R&D to develop Dirac, a video codec, named after Paul Dirac.


  15. Anush Says:

    Dirac (2) is a video codec developed by BBC Research (1) and Schrodinger (3) is a high speed implementation of the codec in C.


  16. malcaluffin Says:

    paul dirac – The BBC named its video codec Dirac in his honour

    erwin schrodinger-A second implementation of the dirac codec was called “Schrödinger”.


  17. Atul Mathew Says:

    1-BBC
    2-Dirac
    3-Schrodinger

    2,3 are both protypes developed by 1 for decoding/encoding videos.


  18. Dinesh Says:

    BBC has named video codecs after Paul Dirac and Erwin Scrhrodinger
