METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR OPTIMIZING MEDIA STREAMS

摘要

An optimization proxy and method for optimizing media streams to be delivered to end-user devices over a communications network utilizes a decoder configuration record in an original media stream to retrieve at least one encoding complexity feature of the original media stream. The encoding complexity feature is used to determine encoding parameters to be used to re- encode the contents of the original media stream to produce an output media stream having at least one encoding complexity feature with the original media stream.
