SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TRANSCODING BETWEEN SCALABLE AND NON-SCALABLE VIDEO CODECS

摘要

Systems and methods are provided for performing transcoding in video communication system that use scalable video coding. The systems and methods can be used to transcode or convert input signals having certain characteristics into desired output signals having different characteristics requirements. The systems and methods are based on compressed domain processing, partial decoding-reencoding, or full decoding-reencoding with side information, depending on the specific characteristics of the input and desired output signals.
