METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR STREAMING A SERVICE FOR PROVIDING SCALABILITY AND VIEW INFORMATION

摘要

The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for inserting scalability and view information into an MPEG-2 transport stream header. Scalability information or view information for scalable video or multi-view video, respectively present in a payload portion at a TS level, may be used when the scalable video or the multi-view video are transmitted via an MPEG-2 system. Using the scalability information or view information, TS-packetized scalable video or multi-view video may be efficiently adapted to terminals having various levels of performance, various network characteristics, and in accordance with a specific preference of a user.
