Definition
Multimedia content adaptation allows the ever increasing variety of IP enabled devices such as personal digital assistants (PDA), Smartphones, and set-top boxes, to access existing rich media resources available on the Internet.
Introduction
Broadly, it is the process of transforming a logical set of video, images, text, and other media from a source representation to one or more target representations. These new forms of content not only accommodate restricted device input and output capabilities, but they also support content delivery over bandwidth constrained connections such as wireless links. Content adaptation techniques can be applied in multimedia indexing and browsing systems and can be used to help maintain quality of service (QoS) for multimedia network services. Note that aspects of content adaptation are often referred to as content repurposing, and sometimes as content reuse or re-authoring.
Purpose: Multimedia content authoring is a time-consuming and...
