APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MEDIA STREAMING

摘要

A system that incorporates teachings of the subject disclosure may include, for example, dividing a media content item into a plurality of media content segments, at each media content segment of the plurality of media content segments, applying motion estimation between at least two video frames of the media content segment to determine a content weight for the media content segment, determining a bit rate for the media content segment according to the determined content weight for the media content segment, and encoding the media content segment at the determined bit rates to generate a data stream for the media content segment, whereby a plurality of data streams for the plurality of media content segments of the media content are generated, and transmitting the plurality of data streams for the plurality of media content segments of the media content to the one or more media devices. Other embodiments are disclosed.

主权项

1. A device, comprising:
a processor; and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
receiving media content for distribution to a media device;determining a content weight for the media content by motion estimation between video frames of the media content;determining a bit rate for the media content according to the content weight for the media content;encoding the media content at a first bit rate to generate a first data stream for the media content;selecting a first data channel that supports a first bit rate; andtransmitting, to the media device via the first data channel, the first data stream associated with the media content.
