Investigation of resource usage and video quality with different formats in video broadcasting

Transfer of video through an Internet network is one of the greatest challenges faced by the users, especially when dealing with broadcasting e.g. online broadcasting, and large video sizes. Video codecs make this operation easier. In this thesis, we submit the video compression issue to bring us closer to a better outcome/solution by asking the question: "Does compressing videos before sending to the client have considerable benefit?" The experiment methodology we follow is to capture video from multiple web cameras, encoding this video in one server in order to transfer it to another server, and from the second server we can transfer this video to all users wirelessly. Moreover, we can apply this operation to send more than one video to multiple users. The literature surveyed has helped the researcher to view ideas such as using the MVC (Multi-View Video Coding) and UDMVT (User Dependent Multi-View Video Transmission) codecs to compress video, and how to carry out multi-video, in addition to see the effectiveness of wired and wireless modes of video transfer. The researcher used the MVC codec to transfer video, and we can see the effectiveness of transferring video via wired and the effectiveness is reduced in the wireless mode. UDMVT was not used due to the fact that a number of algorithms required for this codec and they could not be obtained. However, the UDMVT codec may be an avenue of exploration in future studies.
