  • Recovering from dropped frames in real-time transmission of video over IP networks
    Patent number: 8929443
    Abstract: Technologies for recovering from dropped frames in the real-time transmission of video over an IP network are provided. A video streaming module receives a notification from a receiving module that a data packet has been lost. The video streaming module determines, based on the type of video frame conveyed in the lost packet and the timing of the lost packet in relation to the sequence of video frames transmitted to the receiving module, whether or not a replacement video frame should be sent to the receiving module. If the video streaming module determines a replacement video frame is warranted, then the video streaming module instructs a video encoding module to generate a replacement video frame and then transmits the replacement video frame to the receiving module.
