Abstract
This thesis presents the design and implementation of a scalable video scheme that accommodates the uncertainties in networks and the differences in receivers' displaying mechanisms. To achieve scalability, a video stream is encoded into two kinds of layers, namely the base layer and the enhancement layer. The decoder must process the base layer in order to display minimally acceptable video quality. For higher quality, the decoder simply combines the base layer with one or more enhancement layers. Incorporated with the IP multicast system, the result is a highly flexible and extensible structure that facilitates video viewing to a wide variety of devices, yet customizes the presentation for each individual receiver.
