PRODUCING AN OUTPUT NEED PARAMETER FOR AN ENCODER

摘要

A target bit rate determination model is provided that allows information from a look ahead encoder or a decoder to be used to produce a need parameter for an encoder. Two ways to control an encoder system are provided. In the first control method, statistics from a look ahead encoder and knowledge of bitrate requirements for different codecs are used to create a need parameter control input for the primary encoder. In the second method, statistics from a decoder and knowledge of decoder and encoder behavior are used to create a need parameter control input for the primary encoder.
