& I WELCOME THE readers to the fifth issue
of the year 2022, the September/October issue of
the IEEE Consumer Electronics Magazine (MCE).
Signal processing has played a crucial role in the
consumer technology revolution of the past couple
of decades. Audio and video entertainment
electronics, home information and communications
systems, other cutting-edge technologies,
and consumer products have benefited from signal
processing-enabled innovations. Signal processing's
impact on consumer technologies shows
no signs of slowing down. In fact, in areas ranging
from wireless communication to audio/video/
image recognition systems, healthcare, wellbeing,
and entertaining systems, smartphone and
mobile device technologies, virtual reality, augmented
reality, and interactive information and
display systems, signal processing continues to
serve as an essential and irreplaceable tool.
Therefore, it is my pleasure to introduce a collection
of high-quality articles dedicated to recent
advances in audio, video, and image processing
for consumer technologies in this issue.

the Internet as infrastructure.
FEATURE ARTICLES
Versatile Video Coding Standard: A Review from
Coding Tools to Consumers Deployment: The
amount of video content and the number of applications
based onmultimedia information increase
each day. The development of new video coding
standards is a challenge to increase the compression
rate and other important features with a reasonable
increase in the computational load. This
article overviews consumer electronic use cases,
the compression tools described in the standard,
the current available real-time implementations,
and the first industrial trials done with this
standard.
Analysis of the Capabilities of Embedded Systems
in Intraprediction Video Coding: This article
aims to conduct a performance and temperature
analysis of two embedded systems, namely
Raspberry Pi 4 and Jetson Nano, and a consumption
study of different encoders of various video
standards executed on them. The results demonstrate
that real-time video streaming using hardware
encoders is only achievable for the full-HD
resolution format.
Real-Time 2D-to-3D Conversion for Television
Broadcasting Based on Embedded System: In this
article, a low-complexity 2D to 3D conversion
algorithm was capable of generating real-time
3D images on a conventional TV display. A lowPublished
