Scalable Video on Demand: Adaptive Internet-based Distribution
內容描述
Description:
In recent years, the
proliferation of available video content and the popularity of the Internet
have encouraged service providers to develop new ways of distributing content
to clients. Increasing video scaling ratios and advanced digital signal
processing techniques have led to Internet Video-on-Demand applications, but
these currently lack efficiency and quality.
Scalable Video on Demand: Adaptive
Internet-based Distribution examines how current video compression and
streaming can be used to deliver high-quality applications over the Internet.
In addition to analysing the problems of client heterogeneity and the absence
of Quality of Service in the Internet, this book:
assesses existing products and encoding
formats;
presents new algorithms and protocols for
optimised on-line video streaming architectures;
includes real-world application examples and
experiments;
sets out a practical ‘toolkit’ for Dynamically
Reconfigurable Multimedia Distribution Systems.
Written by an expert in the field of video
distribution, Scalable Video on Demand: Adaptive Internet-based
Distribution provides a novel approach to the design and implementation of
Video-on-Demand systems for Software Engineers and researchers. It will
also be useful for graduate students following Electronic Engineering and
Computer Science courses.
