Learning Outcomes

This lab course (Praktikum) trains in video encoding and transmission over communication networks like the Internet. After a successful completion the students are capable of encoding video clips, assessing the video quality using objective video quality metrics, and streaming the video clips using HTTP adaptive video streaming. as well as troubleshooting basic problems arising in that context. Likewise experiment planning, setup and performance are taught.

Content

Nearly everybody knows and consumes video content via the Internet. As a computer scientist we even know how video transmission works in theory and we are able to distinguish applications like video conferencing, video streaming as well as the related protocols. But how is the implementation realized in practice? In this lab course (Praktikum) we will examine how video clips can be encoded and transmitted via an IP network. We will carry out experiments with leading video services like YouTube as well as with Linux PCs in a lab environment. The experiments start with an introduction into the handling of the components and range from principles of video encoding and their impact on the respective video quality up to state-of-the-art video streaming standards like MPEG-DASH. Furthermore, performance issues and the user-perceived quality Quality-of-Experience (QoE) can be looked into. Goal of this lab course is to intensively become acquainted with the workings today’s video streaming services, and a deep understanding of the underlying protocols. Attentive participation in this lab course is a perfect foundation for doing projects or master theses in the area of computer networking.

Test description (Module completion)

Successful participation in the lab course (Praktikum) requires continuous attendance and active participation, accepted solutions of the work sheets. The grade will be determined by the weighted average grades of all solutions (Portfolioprüfung). Students need a minimum total percentage, to pass the lab course. The oral test will take place after the first two (ungraded) lab assignments, and will be based on their content. Ongoing worksheets will be handed in weekly and discussed in review meetings, which are part of the examination elements.

Duration of the Module

The following number of semesters is estimated for taking and completing the module:
1 Semester.

This module may be commenced in the following semesters:
Sommersemester.

Maximum Number of Participants

The maximum capacity of students is 16.

Registration Procedures

A registration to the lab course (Praktikum) via ISIS is required. Registration for the module exam takes place at Examination office (Prüfungsamt) / QISPOS.
