Abstract
Approaches for processing video in a smart small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceiver. The smart SFP transceiver may dynamically select, from a plurality of codecs available to the smart SFP transceiver, an appropriate codec for use in processing the video prior to the video being transmitted over a link. The selection of the codec may be based, at least in part, on assessed environmental attributes. The smart SFP transceiver may then use the codec selected by the smart SFP transceiver to process the video, e.g., the video may be encoded, compressed, or timing information generated.
Claims20
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of a small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceiver that stores one or more sequences of instructions for processing video, which when executed by one or more processors, cause:
- the SFP transceiver dynamically selecting an appropriate codec for use in encoding said video prior to said video being transmitted over a link;
- and
- the SFP transceiver using the appropriate codec, selected by the SFP transceiver, to encode said video.
A small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceiver, comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage mediums storing one or more sequences of instructions for processing video, which when executed by the one or more processors, cause:
- the SFP transceiver dynamically selecting an appropriate codec for use in encoding said video prior to said video being transmitted over a link;
- and
- the SFP transceiver using the appropriate codec, selected by the SFP transceiver, to encode said video.
A method for encoding video using a small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceiver, comprising:
- the SFP transceiver dynamically selecting an appropriate codec for use in encoding said video prior to said video being transmitted over a link;
- and
- the SFP transceiver using the appropriate codec, selected by the SFP transceiver, to encode said video.
