Reflection on Scalable Transcoding
•Scalability=deeper knowledge+system symbiosis
•Rate adaptation at network level? Only 80%.
•We are trying to gain deeper interaction:
•Content protocol aware adaptation (requantization, DCT filtering, etc.)
•Content aware adaptation (object detection based).
•Interactive viewer aware adaptation.
•Active network insight:
–Look at the source of info that forms the base of adaptation?
•video protocol designer
•content producer
•viewer
•above all-- the network resource awareness
–Each knowledge component have their distinct role.  How to connecting all the  parties involved?
