Abstract

Video-on-demand (VoD) is a technology that enables a subscriber to watch a selected video from a library at any time. This scheme is different from pure video broadcasting in the sense that it provides the subscriber the control to receive video content according to his interests. The Adapt VoD project is a multi-institutional effort to provide a flexible VoD platform for mobile devices. Adapt VoD use a context-aware approach to adapt the multimedia content and transmission parameters to the channel and device characteristics (by means of a transcoding process and adaptive modulation), saving computer and network resources and improving the system´s performance.
