Abstract

See full text

The present invention relates to a method for encoding a multimedia content, and comprising the steps of: encoding the multimedia content into hierarchical elementary streams, parsing the elementary streams into data packets for further transmission through a network towards a decoding unit, receiving a request whereby the decoding unit requests delivery of at least one required elementary stream. A method according to the invention further comprises the steps of: discriminating within the data packets between first data packets that compose the at least one required elementary stream, and second data packets that do not, assigning one first network priority to the first data packets, and assigning at least one second network priority, lower than the first network priority, to the second data packets, transmitting the first data packets and the second data packets towards the decoding unit. The present invention also relates to an encoding unit implementing a method according to the invention.
