Abstract: A method of transmitting a request for video data comprises a client device transmitting a request for high-resolution spatial-element frames of a spatial element of a video to a distribution node for each spatial element of the video in a user's field of view for which a client device does not possess a current high-resolution spatial-element frame. The video comprises a plurality of spatial elements and the plurality of spatial-element frames comprises both non-inter-coded spatial-element frames (152) and inter-coded spatial-element frames (151). The request identifies the spatial element and specifies a starting point (179) corresponding substantially to a current time. The request is for data comprising a temporal segment of high-resolution spatial-element frames starting substantially at the starting point (179) and of which the first high-resolution spatial-element frame (173) is not inter coded. The method further comprises the client device receiving the requested data.

Abstract: Method for processing audio objects by an audio client apparatus is described wherein the method comprises: receiving or determining spatial listener information, the spatial listener information defining including one or more listener positions, orientations and/or foci of one or more listeners in the audio space; the audio client apparatus selecting one or more audio object identifiers from a set of audio object identifiers defined in a manifest file stored in a memory of the audio client apparatus, an audio object identifier defining an audio object being associated with audio object position information for defining one or more positions of the audio object in the audio space; the selecting of the one or more audio object identifiers by said audio client apparatus being based on the spatial listener information and the audio object position information of audio object identifiers in said manifest file; and, the audio client apparatus using said one or more selected audio object identifiers to request tran
