例如圖中有一個 reference SPL = 94 dB SPL, 它換算的輸出電壓就是 -38 dBV. 這個輸出也稱之為 sensitivity. 根據 [1], The sensitivity of a microphone is the electrical response at its output to a given standard acoustic input.
Sensitivity 對應到 EIN 所對應的 dBV 中間的差異就是 SNR (signal to noise ratio).
REQ1 – Decrease network usage from ABR content consumption;
REQ2 – Keep the ABR client devices unchanged
最簡單的方法, 就是在客戶開始操作 time shift 的時候, 把 live 的 multicast 改為 unicast. 怎麼辦到呢? 這需要在網路中加上一些新的設備, 前面提到的 Multicast server 以及 Multicast to unicast proxy.
Multicast Server – Has 2 main purposes: creating a carrousel with the ABR segments, on a technology similar to DSM-CC (although there’s no repetition of packets) and the retransmission of missing multicast packets.
Multicast to unicast proxy – This is a home gateway software module, which converts multicast content into ABR segments.
