  • METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR REAL-TIME TRANSCODING OF MPEG-DASH ON-DEMAND MEDIA SEGMENTS WHILE IN TRANSIT FROM CONTENT HOST TO DASH CLIENT
    Publication number: 20230045658
    Abstract: A system, method and computer program product for real-time post-processing system that transforms MPEG-DASH on-demand media streams, including a DASH media player device; an intercepting media server device; a MPEG-DASH content origin server device; and a proxy media client device coupled to the DASH media player device and the intercepting media server device and configured to intercept MPEG-DASH HTTP requests from the DASH media player device and forward the intercepted requests to the intercepting media server device instead of the MPEG-DASH content origin server device. The intercepting media server device is configured to act as an HTTP proxy device, and forward the intercepted requests to the MPEG-DASH content origin server, and with each corresponding MPEG-DASH media subsegment acquired perform analysis of the video media content within the subsegment and apply selective transcoding.

  • Method and system for video codec rate-distortion performance by pre and post-processing
    Patent number: 10785481
    Abstract: A system, method and computer program product for improving video codec performance, including a pre-processing stage configured for downscaling by a variable amount an uncompressed video signal before sending such downscaled, uncompressed video signal to an input of a video codec; and a complimentary post-processing stage configured for upscaling the decompressed video signal received from an output of the video codec back to its original resolution before transmitting the decompressed video signal. The system, method and computer program product provides improved rate-distortion performance compared to direct use of the video codec alone.
