A distributed SHVC video transcoding system

Abstract

Transcoding of a SHVC video is time-consuming especially with high definition resolutions. In this paper, we propose a distributed SHVC video transcoding system that can speed up the transcoding time of SHVC videos. By equipping distributed computing technologies, the proposed architecture can reduce the transcoding time of SHVC videos without the modifications of existing SHVC encoding algorithms and can satisfy the video requirements of high-definition television and high-resolution mobile devices.
