Streaming media production starts with the infinite real world as captured by the lenses of our camcorders, and ends with the tightly compressed files necessary for streaming delivery. Along the way, ...

Video technology has seen a huge evolution in the past couple of years. The growth has been simultaneously coming up with the rapid innovation and establishment of internet. Earlier were the days ...

Abstract: In this paper, we investigate the energy-efficient job-dispatching algorithm for transcoding as a service (TaaS) in a multimedia cloud. We aim to minimize the energy consumption of service ...

Although verbal and numerical abilities have a well-established interaction, the impact of phonological processing on numeric abilities remains elusive. The aim of this study is to investigate the ...

Abstract: High-quality video streaming, either in form of Video-On-Demand (VOD) or live streaming, usually requires converting (i.e., transcoding) video streams to match the characteristics of viewers ...

The MPEG-2 compression standard has been widely deployed in video distribution infrastructures, such as cable and satellite networks, as well as in several consumer applications, such as DVDs and DVRs ...

Hardware transcoding unlike software transcoding, relies on the server’s CPU to convert media files into different formats, hardware transcoding offloads this intensive task to a dedicated component ...

Number transcoding (e.g., writing 64 when hearing “sixty-four”) is a basic numerical skill; rather faultlessly performed in adults, but difficult for children. In the present study, children speaking ...
