METHODS AND DEVICES FOR PROVIDING AN ENCODED DIGITAL SIGNAL

摘要

In one embodiment, a method for providing an encoded digital signal is described comprising determining, for each data frame of a plurality of data frames of a digital signal, a plurality of pairs of an encoding data volume and an encoding quality, wherein each pair of an encoding data volume and an encoding quality specifies the encoding data volume required for achieving the encoding quality; determining for each data frame at least one or more interpolations between the plurality of determined pairs; determining a multi-frame relationship between encoding quality and encoding data volume required to encode the plurality of data frames at the encoding quality based on a combination of the at least one or more interpolations for the plurality of data frames; determining an encoding quality for the plurality of data frames based on the relationship; and providing at least one data frame of the plurality of data frames encoded at the determined encoding quality.
