Video Transcoding Gateway for Wireless Video Access
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we review several typical video transcoding architectures and major applications of video transcoding. We identify issues involved in access video streams through handheld devices and wireless networks. To handle these issues, we propose a video transcoding gateway system for intelligently transcoding pre-encoded video for different user devices and network connections. The main functions of this transcoding gateway include frame size downscaling, frame rate conversion, bit rate adaptation, color conversion, etc. Based on this, we design and implement a prototype of the transcoding gateway system and test it in a wireless LAN.

A Video Gateway to Support Video Streaming to Mobile Clients
This paper describes how video streaming from or to mobile participants of a video conference can be supported by a so called “Mobility Gateway“. The gateway interconnects a mobile client, through a wireless link, to a fixed network LAN or WAN multicast environment and performs intelligent operations on the video stream like transcoding, congestion control etc. in order to provide the mobile us...
متن کاملSNR scalable transcoding for video over wireless channels
AbsfracfIn this paper, we propose a novel scheme integrating transcoding, SNR scalability and error protection channel coding for video transmission over wireless channels. The target application for such error-resilient transcoding is to provide robust access to the pre-encoded high quality video server from mobile wireless terminals. The high bit rate of pre-encoded video sequence is reduced ...
متن کاملJoint Allocation of Bandwidth and FEC Across Layers for Video Multicast over Wired and Wireless Networks
Layered multicast is an e cient technique to deliver video to users over wired and wireless networks. In this paper, we consider such a multicast system in which the server adapts the bandwidth and FEC of each layer so as to maximize overall video quality, given the heterogeneous user characteristics in terms of their end-to-end bandwidth, packet drop rate over the wired network, and bit error ...
متن کاملContent and Resources based Mobile and Wireless Video Transcoding
Delivering streaming video over wireless is an important component of many interactive multimedia applications running on personal wireless handset devices. Such personal devices have to be inexpensive, compact, and lightweight. But wireless channels have a high channel bit error rate and limited bandwidth. Delay variation of packets due to network congestion and the high bit error rate greatly...
متن کاملTranscoding-Based Error-Resilient Video Adaptation for 3G Wireless Networks
Transcoding is an effective method to provide video adaptation for heterogeneous internetwork video access and communication environments, which require the tailoring (i.e., repurposing) of coded video properties to channel conditions, terminal capabilities, and user preferences. This paper presents a video transcoding system that is capable of applying a suite of error resilience tools on the ...
