Abstract

This paper introduces an approach for the optimal management of a H264 SVC (Scalable Video Coding)/MDC (Multiple Description Coding) playout. The solution presented uses optimization and control strategies depending on the different type of delivered services, the terminals that will consume these services, the load process of the video servers and the network conditions.
