Claim Text:
1. A method of encoding a video frame to be transmitted to first and second clients over first and second network connections, the first and second network connections having associated at least first and second parameters wherein the first parameter is representative of the network connection bandwidth and the second parameter is distinct from the first parameter, the method comprising: obtaining at least a value of the first parameter and a value of the second parameter of the first network connection; obtaining at least a value of the first parameter and a value of the second parameter of the second network connection, wherein the value of at least one parameter differs between the first and second network connections; for the first network connection, determining a frame size that can be transported over the first network connection considering at least the obtained values of the first and second parameters of the first network connection; for the second network connection, determining a second frame size that can be transported over the second network connection considering at least the obtained values of the first and second parameters of the second network connection; determining a target frame size based on the minimum of the determined first and second frame sizes; and compressing the video frame to the determined target frame size.
