Abstract

In this paper, we deal with Multi-View Video and Audio (MVV-A) IP transmission in which a server multicasts the audio and video data to multiple users. We consider two transmission methods, one is the all viewpoints transmission method, while the other is the requested viewpoint transmission method. The former transmits all the viewpoints data. The latter transmits only the requested viewpoint data by the user. This paper compares the two methods in terms of QoE. We conduct multidimensional assessment with eight pairs of polar terms by the SD (Semantic Differential) method, which can assess an object from many points. As a result, we investigate how the multicast transmission methods affect the user´s satisfaction.
