  • Streaming multiple encodings encoded using different encoding parameters
    Patent number: 11228764
    Abstract: A system for streaming multiple encodings of a source video stream is disclosed. A source video device system captures and/or receives source video comprising a plurality of source video frames. The source video device system encodes the source video frames into virtual frames, with each of the virtual frames being encoded using at least one different encoding parameter. The source video device system forms a container frame from the virtual frames and transmits the container frame over a network. In an example embodiment, the container frame comprises the virtual frames associated with a particular source frame and a container timestamp applicable to all of the virtual frames in the container frame.

  • Streaming multiple encodings with virtual stream identifiers
    Patent number: 10567765
    Abstract: A system for streaming multiple encodings of a source video stream is disclosed. A source video device system captures and/or receives source video comprising a plurality of source video frames. The source video device system encodes the source video frames into virtual frames, with each of the virtual frames being encoded using at least one different encoding parameter. To each virtual frame is appended virtual stream identifier which is appropriate for a selected transmission mechanism. The source video device system forms a container frame from the virtual frames and transmits the container frame over a network. Devices receiving transmissions over unreliable connections may reconstruct the transmitted streams using the synchronization headers.
