Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé et un appareil permettant de transmettre du contenu vidéo compressé. L'invention comprend la transmission d'une trame de demande de sélection de codec, cette dernière comprenant un identifiant d'un ou de plusieurs codecs à utiliser pour compresser du contenu vidéo et demandant l'autorisation d'utilisation du codec, la réception d'une trame de réponse de sélection de codec, cette dernière comprenant des informations de résultat indiquant si l'utilisation du codec est ou non autorisée et la transmission de trames de contenu vidéo pour le contenu vidéo compressé par le codec autorisé sur la base de la trame de réponse de sélection de codec. Chaque trame de contenu vidéo comprend des informations de type de trame indiquant un type de compression appliqué au contenu vidéo compris dans la trame de contenu vidéo.
