Implementation on a Real-Time SVC Encoder for Mobile Broadcasting
Sangjin Hahm, Changseob Park, Keunsoo Park, Munchurl Kim · 2008
Scalable Video Coding (SVC) can be applicable in mobile broadcasting environment due to the flexibility of spatial, temporal and quality scalability. Recently, SVC technology becomes mature rapidly but its reference SW encoder isn't optimized yet. Therefore, we have developed a real-time SW SVC encoder for broadcasting. In this paper, we show our SVC encoder that can provide two spatial layers: QVGA(320 x 240) and VGA(640 x 480). The base layer can be fully compatible with H.264/AVC. Our encoder is performing real-time operation on a normal PC by optimizing SVC algorithm.
