The present invention is a new and innovative system and method for the stream transmission of video data. The disclosed invention enables a significant reduction in latency and in start decoding and displaying parameters in the transmission of the video data in comparison with existing stream video transmission methods. According to the some embodiments of the present invention each frame or each field is sliced into a predetermined number of slices. Each slice is compressed separately, using standard video compression technologies. The compressed slices are then compounded together before being transmitted over the communication network. On the receiving end the frame is reassembled and decompressed. Finally the frame is recomposed accordingly and filtered to provide a high quality video image.
