Abstract
A large range of devices (from PDA to high-end TV) can receive and decode digital video. However, the capacity of one device is very different from the capacity of another device. This paper discusses how the same video but differently encoded can be efficiently distributed to a set of receiving devices. The key technology is scalable video coding. The paper shows how a framework assists in adapting the digital code to the changing transmission conditions to optimize the quality rendered at the different devices. The paper concludes with a validation based on a real-time streaming application.
