Title: Decoding a video stream within a browser
Inventor: ROBERT JOHNSON
IPC: H04N21/81
Filed: 2020-11-27
Abstract: An encoded multi-layer video stream is received in a source buffer, from which a base stream and an enhancement stream are extracted and decoded. The base stream is decoded using a mark-up video element and is rendered in a first mark-up video display region which is hidden. The rendered decoded base stream is combined with the decoded enhancement stream to generate a reconstructed video stream, which is rendered in a second mark-up video display region that is visible within the browser. The encoded multi-layer video stream may be a Low Complexity Enhancement Video Coding (LCEVC) stream where the base stream may be encoded in low quality using a pre-existing codec such as Advanced Video Coding (AVC), High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC), VP9, MPEG-5 Essential Video Coding (EVC), or AOMEdia Video 1 (AV1). Alternatively, decoding a video stream within a browser is performed using a script-based decoding function, such as HTML-5, if it is determined that a receiving client device does not have an operating system video decoding function or browser video decoding function suitable for decoding the multi-layer video stream.
