Abstract
A method of streaming panoramic video is provided. In one embodiment, the method includes receiving a panoramic video stream formed by a sequence of stitched panoramic frames, each stitched panoramic frame representative of a panoramic view defined by horizontal and vertical dimensions in relation to a central viewing point; splitting the stitched panoramic frames into pieces to create split frames and split frame streams; encoding the split frames for each split frame stream at multiple bitrates to form multiple resolution qualities for each split frame stream; and combining the split frame streams to form a video bunch frame stream. An apparatus for streaming equirectangular video is also provided. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing program instructions is also provided. When executed by a computer or processor, the program instructions cause the apparatus to perform the method.
