Open SVC Decoder is a tool that has been designed in order to provide a real-time coding framework for Scalable Video Coding extension of H.264/AVC.
Scalable Video Coding (SVC) is the name given to an extension of the H.264/MPEG-4 AVC video compression standard which has been developed jointly by ITU-T and ISO/IEC JTC 1.
Here are some key features of "Open SVC Decoder":
· Ease of adaptation to different terminal capabilities
· Resource conserving transmission, storage, and display of video, e.g., in surveillance applications
· Higher transmission robustness, if combined with unequal error protection
· Ease of Multicast Streaming through heterogeneous networks
