Huffman coding is used to code values statistically according to their probability of occurence. Short code words are assigned to highly probable values and long code words to less probable values. Huffman coding is used in MPEG-2 to further compress the bitstream. This application note describes how Huffman coding is done in MPEG-2 and its implementation.

Access the entire application note on the Xilinx, Inc. website.
