Abstract
An example method can comprise receiving an encoding parameter associated with a first content transmission. The encoding parameter can indicate a level of complexity to encode the first content transmission. The method can comprise selecting, based on the encoding parameter, a second content transmission. The second content transmission can be encoded at a second bit rate that is different than a first bit rate of the first content transmission. The method can also comprise generating a third content transmission. The third content transmission can comprise the second content transmission.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving an encoding parameter associated with a first content stream associated with a first bandwidth priority, wherein the encoding parameter indicates a change in a level of complexity to encode the first content stream;
- receiving, based on the change in the level of complexity and an allocation of bandwidth within a first modulated content stream comprising the first content stream and a second content stream, a third content stream associated with a second bandwidth priority;
- and
- generating a second modulated content stream comprising the first content stream and the third content stream.
A method comprising:
- determining, based on an encoding parameter, a change to a level of complexity to encode a first content stream associated with a first bandwidth priority;
- determining a second content stream associated with a second bandwidth priority;
- and
- generating, based on the change in the level of complexity and the second bandwidth priority, a third content stream.
A method comprising:
- receiving a first modulated content stream comprising a first content stream and a second content stream, wherein the second content stream is encoded at a first bit rate and associated with a first bandwidth priority;
- determining, based on an encoding parameter and a bandwidth threshold, a third content stream that is encoded at a second bit rate and associated with a second bandwidth priority;
- and
- generating a second modulated content stream comprising the first content stream and the third content stream.
