A Novel Method for Embedding Multiple Video Frames into A Single Video Stream by Utilizing Genetic Algorithm

Abstract

The modern age is driven by video streaming services. Video streaming vendors allow the viewers to view the digital content on televisions, desktops, laptops, phones, electronic gadgets, etc. The video streaming platforms run on the monthly subscription model, wherein the streaming services acquire licensing rights to the digital content and further make the content available to the customers based on the type of subscription chosen by a user. As the over-the-top (OTT) platforms gain popularity in video streaming services, delivery of preference-based digital content to the consumers seem to bring about a paradigm shift in video streaming services. However, the consumer can view only one content at one time as the transmission station broadcasting the composite video signal accommodates separate video channels on separate frequency windows by applying modulation techniques. The paper discloses a novel method for embedding multiple video frames into a single video stream by utilizing a genetic algorithm, such that multiple consumers can view multiple preference-based video contents at one time.
