Video Transcoders with Low Delay
Summary :
As the number of different video compression algorithms in use and also the specific bit rates at which they are operated increase, there is a growing need for converters from one algorithm or bit rate to another. In general, this can only be accomplished by decoding and re-encoding. It has previously been assumed that the additional delays introduced by such decoding and re-encoding are additive and thereby become unacceptable for some interactive applications. This paper shows that it is possible to construct a transcoder such that the aggregate end-to-end delay is substantially less than the sum of the delays from the two encode and decode pairs. Two techniques are described. The first is more general while the second is simpler but is restricted to the case of reducing the bit rate and keeping the same compression algorithm. Results from simulations of the latter method are included.
