Abstract.
Traditional interactive TV systems depend on expensive hardware, proprietary formats, and a closed-loop end-to-end approach, which greatly limits scalability and extensibility of TV services. In this paper, we present the HDControl interactive Internet TV architecture that achieves an open service model and combines high-quality video with flexible user control using two key software real-time algorithms: visual information embedding (VIE) algorithm and resynchronization algorithm. Experimental results in our HDTV testbed have confirmed the feasibility and efficiency of our proposed algorithms.
