Abstract

The study investigated the optimal configuration of SVC (Scalable Video Coding) to apply to the satellite broadcasting service, and compared the performance of the SVC with that of the AVC (Advanced Video Coding). To get the optimal configuration, we analyzed the optimal bit rate allocation between the layers and the optimal scalability which requires the least bit rate for the required PSNR for various kinds of contents using JSVM. As a result of investigation, we found that the optimal bit rate allocation occurs when the bit rate of the base layer is minimum, and the spatial scalability shows the best performance. The performance of SVC is similar to that of AVC for spatial scalability, but it depends on contents.
