An Overview on Multimedia Transcoding Techniques on Streaming Digital Contents
(2013)
Abstract
The current IT infrastructure as well as various
commercial applications are directly formulated based on
deployment in multimedia system e.g. education, marketing,
risk management, tele-medicines, military etc. One of the
challenges found in using such application is to deliver
uninterrupted stream of video between multiple terminals
e.g. smart-phone, PDAs, laptops, IPTV etc. The research shows
that there is a stipulated need of designing novel mechanism
of bit rate adjustment as well as format conversion policy so
that the source stream may stream well in diverse end devices
with multiple configuration of processor, memory, decoding
etc. This paper discusses various eminent points from
literature that will throw better highlights in understanding
a schema of direct digital-to-digital data conversion of one
encoding to another termed as transcoding. Although
multimedia transcoding has covered more than a decade in
the area of research, but unfortunately, there is a huge trade-
off between the application, service, resource constraint, and
hardware design that gives rise to QoS issues.
