A special section is dedicated to analyzing JPEG2000
bitstreams and files.
One of the most important technologies for this scenario is video transcoding, which is a technique that allows compressed digital video streams to be adapted to different network transmission and receiver conditions without requiring that the
bitstreams be fully decoded and then re-encoded.

BitStreams" (Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, 2001), and the 2002 Whitney Biennial, for example, implicitly adopted Schaeffer's paradigm, providing banks of headphones or darkened rooms for the acousmatic delivery of audio.
Culture is now carried in digital form, as "
bitstreams" that can be copied and distributed to everyone frictionlessly.
Preserving digital artifacts therefore requires not only saving the
bitstreams that represent them but also retaining the ability to interpret those
bitstreams properly in the future to recreate their intended behavior.
Just when video games, the Internet, and the new economy have thoroughly assimilated interactivity into our culture,
BitStreams, the better part of the Whitney show, bucks the trend and succeeds brilliantly.
One effective method of protecting the compressed video signal is to split the coded video signal into a number of separate
bitstreams where each can be transmitted via a separate channel having a different degree of error protection [12,13,14].
Providing
bitstreams helps the United States influence the outcome of distant conflicts while avoiding many of the risks and costs of conducting warfare overseas.
The proposed metric does not require complex models to manipulate the directly extracted parameters such as QP, Fr, and MV from received H.264/AVC encoded
bitstreams, in comparison with FR, RR, and NR-P approaches, which do.
Recent exhibitions like "Out of Place" at MCA Chicago, "Artists Imagine Architecture" at ICA Boston, "
BitStreams" at New York's Whitney Museum, and "OIOIOI" at San Francisco MOMA have confirmed two preoccupations among a new generation of artists: with architecture as well as with digital technology.
