However, state-of-the-art bitrate adaptation algorithms are not suitable for low-latency adaptive video streaming due to a distinct lack of buffer dynamic stabilization at the client. A small buffer size lacks resilience to the buffer fluctuation imposed by the mismatch between the network throughput and the average bitrate of the selected video chunk. This paper introduces a bitrate adaptation algorithm that minimizes buffer deviation from the desired level despite a buffering delay as small as a chunk-duration. We demonstrate the performance of our algorithm with respect to the quality-of-experience (QoE) using two evaluation frameworks and compare it against two well-known streaming algorithms, FESTIVE and DASH VLC plugin. The preliminary results show that our algorithm achieves at least 11% higher QoE in the simulation framework and 4% in the emulation framework.","PeriodicalId":408379,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 6th International Conference on Consumer Electronics - Berlin (ICCE-Berlin)","volume":"260 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133496874","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This constitutes a great challenge in creating and managing for content creators. Especially in post production processes, different versions arise for final distribution of several resolutions, frame rates, languages and subtitles. The Interoperable Master Format (IMF) is a uniform master standard developed by SMPTE to improve interoperability and facilitate automation without requiring diverse distribution copies of content for each distribution company. Some of the largest international providers of video on demand (VOD) services have started to use IMF for content ingestion and are investing heavily in this emerging standard. Existing software and hardware solutions dealing with IMF are often very costly and subject to proprietary rights. In relation to that issue, a prototype of a web-based application was developed to create digital master formats. The prototype offers several web services to provide a better efficiency of working with digital master formats within media postproduction and distribution.","PeriodicalId":408379,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 6th International Conference on Consumer Electronics - Berlin (ICCE-Berlin)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133495593","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since these types of noise can substantially limit the data rate between the controller and the frame memory, we may need a larger number of frame memories, an increased printed circuit board (PCB) layout size, and more PCB layers to minimize these noise components, resulting in an increased design cost. To cope with this issue, this work proposes a 1/3 unit interval (UI)-staggering in the transmitter side and a capacitive coupling-induced crosstalk compensation in the receiver side. Evaluation results indicated that CIJ and CIG are reduced by up to 75% and 65% at 1Gbps data rate, respectively. They also indicated that the proposed method enables 5Gbps operation per pin on a frame memory bus for TVs.","PeriodicalId":408379,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 6th International Conference on Consumer Electronics - Berlin (ICCE-Berlin)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129755033","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This work describes an intelligent, low cost system, which monitors the behavior of electrical magnitudes of domestic appliances in real time. The system is able to analyze the collected data, detect possible faults, and report this situation to the user. An IoT device, designed to be adapted to any old generation consumer electronic device, is part of the proposed system.
