摘要:
A system and method for providing faster tuning into a chosen program in a time- sliced multicast and/or broadcast transmission environment. Multimedia data of the same source material but of different transmission and presentation characteristics are coded and compressed. According to various embodiments, simulcast streams of a program are time-sliced, placed maximally apart from each other in terms of transmission time, and sent over the channel.

A system and method provides a first integrity check code that can be calculated at an encoder and then sent to a decoder as a supplemental enhancement information message. The decoder can then calculate a second integrity check code over the actual received network abstraction layer units. This second integrity check code can be compared with the encoder-generated first integrity check code sent via the supplemental enhancement information message to indicate if in fact all of the transmitted NAL units from which the integrity check code was generated have been received without changes in their content. In addition, an error tracking algorithm is provided that can be run at either the encoder or the decoder in order to determine if the network abstraction layer units are correct in content at the decoder level. Therefore, pictures that are sent as just intra coded frames and pictures that are sent as just inter coded frames can both be checked for errors. Hence, error checking can be provided in those situations where the decoder fails to provide adequate information to the encoder as to what has actually been decoded.
摘要:
A system and method by which instantaneous decoding refresh (IDR)/intra pictures that enable one to tune in or randomly access a media stream are included within a 'normal' bitstream as redundant coded pictures. In various embodiments, each intra picture for tune-in is provided as a redundant coded picture, in addition to the corresponding primary inter-coded picture.
摘要:
A system and method for conveying information that is helpful for a network middlebox or a media player to decided which coded data units to forward or process within an RTP payload or a file format data unit in an easy-to-access manner. This mechanism can be used to provide indications of items such as redundant coded pictures, temporal level switching points, gradual decoding refresh access points, view identifiers, and view random access points. A middlebox and/or receiver can then use this information to determine whether certain coded data units need to be processed and/or transmitted.
摘要:
A system and method for identifying when an indicated or predetermined media transcoding process results in a media stream that is compliant with an indicated interoperability point. Various embodiments allow for the encoding, storage, transcoding, and transmission of a media stream, for which a transcoding process is identified and the resulting media stream of the transcoding process is associated with at least one property. The signaling of the property or properties, and an identification of the transcoding process in one embodiment, may be included in the media bitstream, in a file format container containing the media bitstream, or in a transmission or control protocol for transmission or control of the media bitstream.
摘要:
A system and method for enabling parallel decoder implementation for different views, even when there are existing dependencies between views. In various embodiments of the present invention, information is signaled to a decoder that slices are coded using certain constraints, so that parallel decoding of slices is possible. This signaling can be performed at a sequence parameter set level, or it could be performed at picture parameter set level, slice header level or macroblock header level. Additionally, the delay between various views is also signaled to the decoder, at the same location as the constraint information in various embodiments. Various algorithms can also be used to improve the coding efficiency of the system.

A method of embedding vector graphics content such as SVG into the 3GPP ISO Base Media File Format for progressive downloading or streaming of live rich media content over MMS/PSS/MBMS services. The method of the present invention allows the file format to be used for the packaging of rich media content including graphics, video, text and images; enables streaming servers to generate RTP packets; and enables clients to realize, play, or render rich media content.
摘要:
Buffering packets of a media stream for transmission from a transmitting device to a receiving device. Media packets are formed from at least one kind of media information in a stream generator; at least one transmission frame is generated on the basis of media packets to be transmitted; packets to be transmitted are formed from the at least one transmission frame ; and a transmission schedule is generated for packets to be transmitted. In addition, a first step and a second step of hypothetical decoding are also performed. The first step of hypothetical decoding is performed according to the transmission schedule and comprises buffering the packets to be transmitted according to the transmission schedule to a first hypothetical decoding buffer; and outputting packets from the first hypothetical decoding buffer on a transmission frame basis. The second step of hypothetical decoding comprises controlling the buffer occupancy level of the first hypothetical decoding buffer and the second hypothetical decoding buffer by controlling at least one of the following: the operation of the stream generator; the generation of at least one transmission frame; the transmission schedule.

Buffering packets of a media stream for transmission from a device for transmitting to a device for receiving. Media packets are formed from at least one kind of media information in a stream generator; forward error correction data is formed on the basis of the media packets; one or more repair packets are formed on the basis of the forward error correction data; and a transmission schedule is generated for packets to be transmitted. In addition, hypothetical decoding is also performed according to the transmission schedule. The hypothetical decoding comprises buffering the packets to be transmitted according to the transmission schedule to a hypothetical decoding buffer; and controlling the buffer occupancy level of the hypothetical decoding buffer by controlling the operation of the stream generator.
