In one embodiment, a receiver for an accelerated channel change is provided. The receiver receives a first version of a video stream for a first channel and causes display of video for the first version of the video stream for the channel. A second version of a video stream is received upon a channel change to a second channel, the second version including non-discardable pictures from the first version of the video stream. The receiver displays video for the second version of the video stream for the second channel. When a transition point is reached in the first version of the video stream for the second channel, a first version of a video stream for the second channel can be displayed.

Embodiments of systems and methods for signaling chroma information for a picture in a compressed video stream are provided. One system embodiment, among others, comprises a memory with logic, and a processor configured with the logic to provide a compressed video stream that includes a picture having chroma samples and luma samples, and provide in the compressed video stream a flag for signaling information corresponding to the location of the chroma samples in relation to the luma samples in the picture, wherein a first defined flag value indicates default locations of the chroma samples in relation to the luma samples in the picture, wherein a second defined flag value indicates a presence in the compressed video stream of auxiliary chroma information corresponding to relative locations of the chroma samples to the luma samples in the picture, and wherein the number of chroma samples in the picture implied by the first defined flag value is equal to the number of chroma samples in the picture implied by the second defined flag value. Other embodiments for signaling chroma information for a picture in a compressed video stream are included herein.

In one embodiment, a method comprises providing a video stream, and providing information identifying compressed pictures in the video stream corresponding to respective picture interdependency tiers.
摘要:
A system and method that computes a threshold based on an average sum of absolute residual (SAR) values and a standard deviation, each SAR corresponding to the sum of absolute values of the residual signal of a non-intra encoded macroblock in a frame of a first video stream encoded according to a first video specification, decodes the macroblocks of the frame, compares a SAR of one of the macroblocks to the threshold, the one of the macroblocks having a first motion vector; and provides the first motion vector for encoding the one of the macroblocks according to a second video specification if the SAR of the one of the macroblocks is less than the threshold.
摘要:
A method for providing video content to a subscriber while minimizing transmission channel capacity that includes acquiring information corresponding to factors contributing to a perceived picture quality at a display device in communication with a set-top box, compressing video content based on the acquired information, and transmitting over a local loop the compressed video content at a bit rate based on the acquired information, the bit rate corresponding to the perceived picture quality of the video content capable of being provided by an ensemble comprised of the display device, the set-top box, and the local loop.
