Abstract

A content delivery network () for streaming digital video content across a data network. The content delivery network () is configured to receive digital video content. The content delivery network is configured to store the digital video content in a storage format comprising a base layer (B) and an enhancement layer (E), wherein the base layer (B) is decodable to present the digital video content at a base level of video reproduction quality, and the enhancement layer (E) is decodable with the base layer to present the digital video content at an enhanced level of video reproduction quality which is higher than the base level of reproduction quality. The content delivery network () is configured to determine, based on a target quality which is to be provided to a client device, which layers to use in order to achieve the target quality; and to use the determined layers (B, E) to provide the client device with the digital content at the target level of quality.
