Abstract
A server is provided with a transmit buffer, a transcoder, and a redundancy encoder. The server is for transmitting streaming media to a client through a communication network. A control unit senses when the network is temporarily congested, and activates the transcoder and the redundancy encoder. The frames require fewer bits, and thus arrive in the client's de-jitter buffer without interruption, notwithstanding the network congestion. This prevents network jitter.
