MOVING IMAGE DISTRIBUTION SERVER, MOVING IMAGE REPRODUCTION APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD, PROGRAM, AND RECORDING MEDIUM

摘要

A moving image distribution server selects an intermediate value map of at least one channel during execution of a rendering processing of a subsequent stage for a first screen, and determines, for each set block, whether to perform inter-frame coding by referring to a corresponding intermediate value map generated for a second screen rendered before the first screen. The moving image distribution server performs coding in accordance with the determination result and sends coded moving image data to an external device after the rendering processing of the subsequent stage for the first screen has ended. The determination result is sent to the external device before generation of the coded moving image data of the first screen is completed.
