Patent attributes
A method for transmitting video information is shown, in which at least a first bit-stream (510) and a second bit-stream are formed. The first bit-stream (510) includes a video frame, and the second bit-stream (520) includes a predictive video frame (524). Different encoding parameters are used with encoding of the frames of the first bit-stream (510) and the second bit-stream (520). A frame of the first bit-stream (510) is transmitted, and the transmission is switched over from the first (510) to the second bit-stream (520) during which a secondary switching frame (550) is transmitted encoded using the encoding parameters of the second bit-stream (520) and at least one reference frame from the first bit-stream (510). The secondary switching frame (550) is used as a reference frame in the reconstruction of the predictive video frame (524) of the second set of video frames.
