  • 97 Accesses

Definition:Scalable video coding targets seamless delivery of and access to digital content, enabling optimal, user-centered multi-channel and cross-platform media services, and providing a straightforward solution for universal video delivery to a broad range of applications.

The recent convergence trend of multimedia technology and telecommunications along with the materialization of the Web as strong competitor of conventional distribution networks have generated an acute need for enrichment in modalities and capabilities of the delivery of digital media. Within this new trend a main challenge relates to the production of easy adaptable content capable of optimally fitting into evolving and heterogeneous networks as well as iterative delivery platforms with specific content requirements. Network supported multimedia applications involve many different transmission capabilities including Web based applications, narrowcasting, conventional terrestrial for interactive broadcasting,...
