Receiving and Processing Multi-Latticed Video

摘要

In one embodiment, a method that includes receiving plural representations of a video signal, the video signal comprising plural sequenced pictures corresponding to at least a portion of a video program, wherein two or more of the plural representations of the video signal (PROTVS) includes a respective sequence of latticed pictures and one or more of the other PROTVS includes a respective sequence of non-latticed pictures; and providing in plural successive non-overlapping segments distribution interval (SDIs) compressed versions of the PROTVS in a single video stream, wherein each SDI consists of plural non-overlapping, consecutive segments, each of the plural non-overlapping consecutive segments originating from a respective one of the collective PROTVS.

主权项

1. A method, comprising:
receiving plural processed representations of a video signal, wherein each of the plural processed representations of the video signal (PPROTVS) includes a respective sequence of processed latticed pictures, wherein plural consecutive non-overlapping segments of one of the PPROTVS are received in a single video stream, each separated by one or more consecutive, non-overlapping segments of the other PPROTVS received in the single video stream, wherein each of all of the plural segments representing the same segment of pictures of the video signal is received in successive non-overlapping segment-distribution intervals (SDIs), wherein the one or more of the other PROTVS include a portion of the plural sequenced pictures of the video signal designated as non-referenced pictures in compressed form, wherein the consecutive segments are in a display order based on a promotion of one or more of the latticed pictures among the one or more SDIs corresponding to an increase in the respective picture importance by changing picture type, and providing the de-latticed pictures of the first and second segments for display at a partial picture resolution of the corresponding pictures of the video signal, the partial picture resolution corresponding to a picture resolution of 2/p, where p equals the number of PPROTVS.
