SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR FACILITATING VIDEO QUALITY OF LIVE BROADCAST INFORMATION OVER A SHARED PACKET BASED NETWORK

摘要

A system and method for distributing encoded video content over a public packet-based communication network to a plurality of decoders. The system comprises a receive buffer adapted for receiving an encoded video stream from the network as a plurality of packets, such that the receive buffer has first receive buffer settings compatible with second receive buffer settings associated with an encoder buffer being the origin of the encoded video stream. The system also has a distribution module adapted for replicating the encoded video stream as a plurality of encoded video streams. The system also has a send buffer adapted for sending the plurality of video streams over the network, a first replicated encoded video stream of the plurality of video streams is configured for sending to a first decoder buffer and a second replicated encoded video stream of the plurality of video streams is configured for sending to a second decoder buffer different from the first decoder buffer. The send buffer has first send buffer settings compatible with second send buffer settings associated with the first decoder buffer being the destination of the first encoded video stream and has third send buffer settings compatible with fourth send buffer settings associated with the second decoder buffer being the destination of the second encoded video stream.
