Abstract:
A device for retrieving media data includes one or more processors configured to determine an available amount of network bandwidth, select a first representation from a first adaptation set and a second representation from a second adaptation set, such that the sum of a first bitrate for the first representation and a second bitrate for the second representation are less than or equal to the available amount of network bandwidth, and such that the first bitrate has a comparable position within the first adaptation set to a position of the second bitrate within the second adaptation set, and retrieve data from the first representation and the second representation based on the selection.
