A method and a device of coding a multi-media object, a method for controlling and receiving a bit-stream, a controller for controlling the bit-stream, and a receiver for receiving the bit-stream, and a multiplexer

摘要

Coding is provided in which a multi-media object is coded to obtain a bit-stream, and quality information is added to the bit-stream, which quality information indicates a quality of the object in relation to a given position in (or a given part of) the bit-stream. By adding quality information to the bit-stream, jointly storing or transmitting multiple coded objects can be optimized in that the quality of the object can be easily taken into account.
