Cloud Encoding System

摘要

A system (and corresponding method and devices) for encoding an ungrouped signal into a plurality of grouped signals, wherein the ungrouped signal comprises at least a video service. The system further comprises:
a first encoding means provided in a production system configured to execute a first encoding of the ungrouped video signal into a first encoded grouped signal and to associate encoding information with the first encoded signal;a second encoding means provided in a distribution system, wherein the second encoding means is separate from said first encoding means and is configured to execute a plurality of second encodings so as to correspondingly obtain the plurality of grouped signals, each of the plurality of grouped signals characterised by a corresponding predetermined property, wherein the second encodings are performed on the basis of said first encoded signal using the encoding information;a connection means configured to transmit the encoding information from the first encoding means to the second encoding means, wherein the encoding information comprises information on the first encoding.

1. A system for encoding an ungrouped signal (100) into a plurality of grouped signals (180), said ungrouped signal comprising at least a video service, the system comprising:
a first encoding means (150) provided in a production system configured to execute a first encoding of said ungrouped video signal into a first encoded grouped signal (140) and to associate encoding information (140) with said first encoded signal; a second encoding means (160) provided in a distribution system, said second encoding means being separate from said first encoding means, and configured to execute a plurality of second encodings so as to correspondingly obtain said plurality of grouped signals (180), each of said plurality of grouped signals (180) characterised by a corresponding predetermined property, said second encodings performed on the basis of said first encoded signal using said encoding information; a connection means configured to transmit said encoding information (140) from said first encoding means (150) to said second encoding means (160), wherein said encoding information (140) comprises information on the first encoding.
