    Abstract: Techniques for coding video data are described that maintain high precision coding for low motion video content. Such techniques include determining whether a source video sequence to be coded has low motion content. When the source video sequence contains low motion content, the video sequence may be coded as a plurality of coded frames using a chain of temporal prediction references among the coded frames. Thus, a single frame in the source video sequence is coded as a plurality of frames. Because the coded frames each represent identical content, the quality of coding should improve across the plurality of frames. Optionally, the disclosed techniques may increase the resolution at which video is coded to improve precision and coding quality.

    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for overcoming communication lag between interactive operations among devices in a streaming session. According to the techniques, a first device streaming video content to a second device and an annotation is entered to a first frame being displayed at the second device, which is communicated back to the first device. Responsive to a communication that identifies the annotation, a first device may identify an element of video content from the first frame to which the annotation applies and determine whether the identified element is present in a second frame of video content currently displayed at the first terminal. If so, the first device may display the annotation with the second frame in a location where the identified element is present. If not, the first device may display the annotation via an alternate technique.

    Abstract: A video coding system may initiate coding of a new coding session with reference to an “inferred key frame” that is known both to an encoder and a decoder before a coding session begins. The inferred key frame need not be transmitted between the encoder and decoder via the channel. Instead, the inferred key frame may be stored locally at the encoder and the decoder. Frames coded at the onset of a video coding session may be coded with reference to the inferred key frame, which increases the likelihood a decoder will receive a frame it can decode properly and accelerate the rate at which the decoder generates recovered video data. Inferred key frames may be used as prediction references to recover from transmission errors.

    Abstract: In a video coding system, a common video sequence is coded multiple times to yield respective instances of coded video data. Each instance may be coded according to a set coding parameters derived from a target bit rate of a respective tier of service. Each tier may be coded according to a constraint that limits a maximum coding rate of the tier to be less than a target bit rate of another predetermined tier of service. Having been coded according to the constraint facilitates dynamic switching among tiers by a requesting client device processing resources or communication bandwidth changes. Improved coding systems to switch among different coding streams may increase quality of video streamed while minimizing transmission and storage size of such content.
