Abstract:
1. A method for media content delivery in a system including a processor, the method comprising: receiving, by the processor, a plurality of demanded bit rates for a plurality of output media streams suited to a plurality of different bandwidth requirements of a plurality of user devices targeted to receive media content, and an indication of a quantity of encoded data streams of a plurality of encoded data streams from which the plurality of output media streams is obtainable, each encoded data stream of the plurality of encoded data streams corresponding to a respective demanded bit rate of the plurality of demanded bit rates; determining, by the processor, a respective encoded bit rate for each encoded data stream of the plurality of encoded data streams responsive to the receiving of the plurality of demanded bit rates for the plurality of output media streams and the indication of the quantity of encoded data streams, wherein the plurality of demanded bit rates correspond with the plurality of different bandwidth requirements of the plurality of user devices targeted to receive the media content; receiving, by the processor, an input media signal; generating, by the processor, the plurality of encoded data streams from the input media signal, comprising:
