Abstract :
The heterogeneity of client devices is increasing leading to different resolutions, qualities and form factors. Due to the amount of multimedia to be processed, transcoding and protection can be no longer performed linearly. For that reason, this article describes a solution to distribute and parallelize the transcoding process as well as the content encryption relying on cloud computing. Moreover, this article shows the benefits of this approach showing several experimental results.
