Toward optimizing video transmission based on display characteristics
Publication Year: 2015, Page(s):1 - 3Currently, most OTT service providers check the available bandwidth and transmit video bit-streams at the maximum possible bit rate. However, depending on the size and resolution of the display, perceptual quality may not be improved, even though the service provider transmits high resolution video data at high bit-rates. We performed a number of subjective tests using various display terminals. I... View full abstract»
