CHANNEL ADAPTIVE VIDEO TRANSMISSION SYSTEM FOR USE WITH LAYERED VIDEO CODING AND METHODS FOR USE THEREWITH

摘要

A video transmission system includes a transceiver module that transmits a video signal to a remote device over at least one communications channel wherein the video signal is transmitted as at least one separate video layer stream chosen from, an independent video layer stream and at least one dependent video layer streams that require the independent video layer for decoding. A control module determines at least one channel characteristic of the at least one channel and chooses the at least one separate video layer stream based on the at least one channel characteristic of the at least one channel.
