A system and a corresponding method for temporal modification of audio signals, to increase or reduce the playback rates of an audio and/or a video file in a client-server environment. The system and method improve the efficiency of serving streaming media to a client so that the client can select an arbitrary time-speedup factor. The speedup system performs many of the pre-calculations once, at the server, so that the bandwidth needs are reduced and the client's computational load is minimized. The final time-scale-modification can be either done completely on the server, thus reducing the client's needs, or partly on the client's computer to minimize latency, and to reduce on-the-fly computational load from the server that serves multiple clients concurrently.
A method of modifying an input media signal stored on a server for playback on a client in a streaming environment according to a client-specified parameter, comprising:
A method for encoding an input video image in a streaming client-server environment, comprising:
A method for server-client distributed processing of a digital media stream having at least one input media stream and at least one user-specified parameter, comprising:
A computer usable medium having instruction codes for modifying an input media signal stored on a server for playback on a client in a streaming environment according to a client-specified parameter, comprising:
A computer usable medium having instruction codes for encoding an input video image in a streaming client-server environment, comprising:
A computer usable medium having instruction codes for server-client distributed processing of a digital media stream having at least one input media stream and at least one user-specified parameter, comprising:
