Adaptação de vídeo através de redes de serviços sobrepostos.

Video adaptation is a technique extensively explored for providing content so that it meets different requirements and constraints of network, user’s terminal and preferences, providing better quality of experience. However, its use in high-demand video distribution systems is not sufficiently explored and is usually tackled in a simple way. This is due to the fact that current solutions do not deals with its applicability systemically. This work presents an approach, which explores video adaptation and the concept of context, elaborating a video adaptation service based in users profile. Moreover, the adaptation proposal presented here is totally integrated to CND (content network distribution) using overlay networks, being possible the association with real-time adaptation to the transmission using multicast and caching. This work focuses on presenting the architecture of that service and its operation. The proposal validation is performed by putting the identified requirements for its application against its provided functionalities and the test results in a implementation of this service.
