This work introduces the concept of Scalable Video Coding (SVC) tunneling developed in the EU FP7 ALICANTE project and shows that the quality impact of the transcoding steps for a transcoding chain from MPEG-2 to SVC and back to MPEG-2 accumulates to a PSNR reduction of up to 2.1 dB for transcoding at fixed target bitrate points. We also discuss research challenges and open issues in SVC tunneling.}, doi = {10.1109/WoWMoM.2011.5986152}, keywords = {Content-aware networking; scalable video coding; SVC tunneling; transcoding; multimedia distribution}, language = {EN}, location = {Lucca, Italy}, pdf = {https://www.itec.aau.at/bib/files/WoWMoM2011_mgrafl.pdf}, talkdate = {2011.06.22}, talktype = {poster} }
