Apparatus and method for minimizing number of transcodings in multi-network multi-codec environment

摘要

Provided is a method and apparatus for minimizing the number of transcodings between network devices in a multi-network multi-codec environment. The method includes: creating a received codec list by receiving a transmit codec comprised in a call setting message from a transmission device and the number of transcodings of the transmit codec, which has been performed from a codec of an initial transmission device; creating a codec Quality of Service (QoS) list containing total codecs of the multi-network and quality information of each of the total codecs; creating a transcodec list containing internally providable transcodecs and quality information of the transcodecs based on the codec QoS list; and creating an updated codec list by adding codecs of the transcodec list matching codecs of the received codec list to the received codec list and adjusting codec priority according to the number of transcodings. Accordingly, since the number of transcodings can be minimized, a quality decrease of original media can be minimized.
