In particular, the framework’s architecture for both, Video on Demand (VoD) and multicast streaming, is presented. The architecture includes a detailed description of the adaptation engine – conforming to MPEG-21 Digital Item Adaptation – as well as the integration of the adaptation engine into VideoLAN’s VLC media player, which provides the streaming server and client for the framework. Following the description of the architecture, a comparison in terms of performance of the generic MPEG-21 DIA-based adaptation approach, which is utilized by the described demo, versus an SVC-specific adaptation approach is presented and possible further improvements for both approaches are investigated.}, isbn13 = {978-0-86341-914-0}, issn = {0537-9989}, keywords = {Adaptation, MPEG-21 Digital Item Adaptation, Multicasting, Scalable Video Coding, Video on Demand}, language = {EN}, location = {Xi'an, China}, pdf = {https://www.itec.aau.at/bib/files/VIE08_Eberhard.pdf}, talkdate = {2008.07.29}, talktype = {registered} }
