Stereoscopic Television system demands view scalability as well as high compression rates

which enables the video to be applicable to various terminals. To achieve view scalability

firstly

it is necessary to achieve view scalability for the encoding part. Then

a view scalable transmission scheme is needed. In this paper

based on a scalable encoding scheme

the author proposed a scalable multi-view video transmission scheme that perfectly realizes the concept of view scalability by remarkably reducing bandwidth consumption while being applicable to various terminals. All views are divided into three groups in the proposed scheme: base view

second view and other view. Streams from those three types of views are transported with separate multicast groups. Also

a stream shaping and synchronizing scheme is proposed to tackle with the network problems that arise in the implementation of view scalability.
