Compatible or hierarchical video compression schemes have become increasingly important due to emerging broadband networks and over-the-air digital transmission links. Transmission of embedded low resolution signals should however not cause the side-effect of decreasing the coding efficiency of the highest resolution signal. For subband-based schemes this implies that subbands have to be encoded using multistage quantization. This paper thoroughly investigates the performance of multistage scalar quantization and investigates three encoding strategies: concatenated coding conditional entropy coding and conditional uniform quantization.
