Descrição

In this paper, we propose a method to broadcast digital video programs in which the channel capacity is dynamically distributed among video programs according to each video program particular complexity. A bit rate control algorithm based on the Structural Similarity Index as the measure of video program complexity is examined. Initial results show that a uniform picture quality among video programs can be obtained.
