Scalable Video Coding across heterogeneous networks
Bruce Bennett, Christina Dee · 2008
Scalable video coding (SVC) is a standardized extension to the widely accepted H.264/MPEG-4 advanced video coding (AVC) standard. SVC provides scalability at a bit stream level and allows multiple formats of a single video source to be encoded in a single video stream. This facilitate the delivery of video content to a diverse set of end users with a variety of receive device capabilities, over transmission paths of varying bandwidth.
