3GP
3GP is the name for both a video standard designed for mobile phones and the name of the container used to store video used in the standard. It was developed by a group of companies and standards organizations from Europe, North America, and Asia called 3GPP for 3rd Generation Partnership Project. The purpose of the project was developing a mobile video standard compatible with 3G (3rd Generation) GSM mobile phone systems. (Video Conversion Software)
The 3GP container format is based on the MP4 format defined in MPEG-4 Part 14, but modified to add less Muxing overhead to obtain smaller file sizes. Both MPEG-4 Part 2 (SP and ASP) and Part 10 (AVC / H.264) video can be stored in the 3GP container, as can AAC and MP3 audio. In addition, H.263 video and AMR-NB, AMR-WB, and AMR-WB+ audio, all of which were developed for video conferencing, may be used.
3GP is designed for efficiency to make it suitable for Streaming across mobile phone networks and storing on mobile devices with very littel storage capacity. Video rarely exceeds a Resolution of 320×240 (or 368×208 for widescreen), and is usually 176×144 or 176×120. Audio will usually be encoded as either MP3 or AAC-LC (Low Complexity). Framerates for most mobile devices are Limited to 15fps. (Video Editing & Sharing software download)
3GPP
3GPP stand for the 3rd Generation Partnership Project, it was established in December 1998, consists of telecommunications standards bodies collaborating to make a third generation (3G) mobile phone system specification for global use.
The organizations are known as the “Organizational Partners” of the project. The project was established after the signing of the “The 3rd Generation Partnership Project Agreement”.
The Organizational Partners of 3GPP are..
* Association of Radio Industries and Businesses (ARIB)
* China Communications Standards Association (CCSA)
* European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI)
* Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions (ATIS)
* Telecommunication Technology Committee (TTC)
* Telecommunications Technology Association (TTA)
3GPP2
3GPP2 stand for the Third Generation Partnership Project 2 (3GPP2) is a collaborative third generation (3G) telecommunications specifications-setting project born out of the International Telecommunication Union’s (ITU) International Mobile Telecommunications “IMT-2000″ initiative.
IMT-2000 is intended to bring high-quality mobile multimedia telecommunications to a worldwide mass market by achieving the goals of increasing the speed and ease of wireless communications, responding to the problems faced by the increased demand to pass data via telecommunications, and providing services anytime, anywhere.
There are five main SDOs involved in the project, known as the Organizational Partners.
Those involved in the project include:
* Association of Radio Industries and Businesses (ARIB)
* China Communications Standards Association (CCSA)
* Telecommunications Technology Association (TTA)
* Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA)
* Telecommunication Technology Committee (TTC)
