SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IMPLEMENTING FAST TUNE-IN WITH INTRA-CODED REDUNDANT PICTURES

摘要

A system and method by which instantaneous decoding refresh (IDR)/intra pictures that enable one to tune in or randomly access a media stream are included within a "normal" bitstream as redundant coded pictures. In various embodiments, each intra picture for tune-in is provided as a redundant coded picture, in addition to the corresponding primary inter-coded picture.
