  • Patent number: 11616955
    Abstract: A method includes encoding, by a encoder, a video frame of a versatile-video coding (VVC) video-compression system. The encoder generates/uses tile information associated with a video frame, determines for a slice that the slice is a subset or a superset of a tile based on the tile information, determines slice parameters associated with the slice, and signals the slice parameters associated with the slice. In other aspects, a method may include retrieving, by a decoder of a video-compression system, tile information associated with a video frame, determining, for a slice, that the slice is a subset or a superset of a tile based on the tile information, determining slice parameters associated with the slice, and decoding the video frame using the determined slice parameters.

  • Patent number: 9705948
    Abstract: Systems and methods for transmitting content using segment-based and non-segment-based streams are provided. In some aspects, a method includes identifying at least one segment-based stream of content. Each segment-based stream is associated with a respective first bit rate and includes one or more segments of the content. The method also includes identifying at least one non-segment-based stream of the content. Each non-segment-based stream is associated with a second bit rate and includes a continuous stream of the content. The method also includes enabling switching between use of i) the at least one segment-based stream and ii) the at least one non-segment-based stream to continuously transmit the content to one or more client devices.

  • Publication number: 20150030071
    Abstract: A device for motion vector reuse for adaptive bit rate streaming may include a first encoder, a second encoder, and a network interface. The first encoder may be configured to perform motion estimation on a video content item to generate motion vectors for the video content item and to encode the video content item using the generated motion vectors and based at least in part on a first adaptive bit rate (ABR) profile to generate a first encoded stream. The second encoder may be configured to encode the video content item using the motion vectors generated by the first encoder and based at least in part on a second ABR profile to generate a second encoded stream. The network interface may be configured to initiate transmission of segments of the first and second encoded streams in response to requests therefor.
