Abstract

SVC streaming studies are mostly constrained to simulations, but prototypes also exist. However, for the latter, modification to streaming servers are required to implement extractors, with obvious modifications in the client side to implement aggregators. This paper contributes with a new proposal for a practical and simple SVC streaming solution that can be used with of- the-shelf AVC streaming servers and SVC clients, without resorting to aggregators and extractors. The focus is on modifications to the hint tool, creating a standard MP4 container for SVC. A complete evaluation framework is also proposed, with hardware on the loop, for performing objective and subjective QoE tests, with the support of SVC. With this framework, several scenarios have been tested, by emulating network conditions. User subjective MOS results have been obtained and then compared with objective PSNR results converted to MOS. These tests demonstrate the framework validity, opening perspectives for future work.
