Abstract

This paper presents the development of a complete end-to-end solution for the broadcast of Multi-Stream Multi-view Real-Time Life Video Content that makes use of the new chips implementing full-spectrum receiver chips that can decode up to 16 TV channels simultaneously and pass them to the video processing chips of the Set-Top Boxes. Managing that complex video content from a user’s perspective requires adding interactive ways to increase user experience.Interactivity can either be directly managed on the main screen through the Set Top Box or on a Second Screen that is wireless connected to the Set Top Box. Several underlying technologies have been implemented that involve: the production head ends that include adding time stamps in the protocol for synchronizing streams and views; the GStreamer technology for scaling videos in real-time and the responsive design used for the 2nd screen apps management.
