Abstract: Systems, apparatuses and methods may provide for encoder technology that selects, in response to a request from a client device, a first video stream from a first plurality of video streams dedicated to a first tile in video content and selects, in response to the request, a second video stream from a second plurality of video streams dedicated to a second tile in the video content. The encoder technology may also send the selected first and second video streams to a client device. Additionally, decoder technology may allocate a first decoder device to the first video stream and allocate a second decoder device to the second video stream. In one example, the first video stream and the second video stream include one or more different codec parameter values.

Abstract: A method for concatenating MPEG-4 or H.263 segments is provided. The method includes extracting and comparing the VOL or picture header information of each segment. If the two segments have the same VOL or picture header information, the method merges the two segments directly by appending one segment to another to form a new bit stream. If the two segments have the different resolution, the method completely decodes and re-encodes the segments and then merges the segments. Otherwise the method takes the VOL or picture header information of one segment as reference to produce the new bit stream. The method parses the other segment frame at a time, re-encapsulates it according to the reference VOL or picture header information, and appends it to the one segment. During the process, the method only uses VLD to parse the other segment without using the tools of DCT, IDCT, ME, and MC.
