<p>The present invention is a method and system for reducing delay in video communication for example video transcoding and continuous presence in a multipoint multimedia conference. The video communication control unit reduces such delay by processing the video stream (211) in small number of macro blocks referred to as 'chunks' without waiting to get the full frame of video data. Instead, the incoming video stream (211) is converted into decoded chunks. These decoded chunks are transferred to the output module (240) without waiting to decode the entire frame. The encoder (241) in the output module (240) encodes the encoder chunks and transfers them to the end user without waiting for the entire frame to be processed. Thus, reducing this delay in waiting for the entire frame of video data provides improved real-time video communication.</p> |
