Video data compression systems
A system and method including one or more asymmetric data compression algorithms is disclosed. A first asymmetric data compression algorithm of the one or more asymmetric data compression algorithms compresses data at a higher data compression rate than a second asymmetric data compression algorithm of the one or more asymmetric data compression algorithms. The system and method also include one or more processors that determine one or more data parameters from one or more data blocks and select one or more asymmetric data compression algorithms from among the one or more asymmetric data compression algorithms based upon, at least in part, the determined one or more data parameters.

System and methods for video and audio data distribution
Data compression and decompression methods for compressing and decompressing data based on an actual or expected throughput (bandwidth) of a system. In one embodiment, a controller tracks and monitors the throughput (data storage and retrieval) of a data compression system and generates control signals to enable/disable different compression algorithms when, e.g., a bottleneck occurs so as to increase the throughput and eliminate the bottleneck.
