MULTIVIEWER BASED ON MERGING OF OUTPUT STREAMS OF SPATIO SCALABLE CODECS IN A COMPRESSED DOMAIN

摘要

A viewer system, components and method that are operable to efficiently merge data streams prior to decoding them, and then transmit the merged data stream for decoding and displaying. Unlike prior art multiple encoded image viewing solutions, the present system and method enables the use of significantly less bandwidth and less resources for decoding the data stream to provide a more efficient viewer system.
