Abstract
The disclosure relates to techniques for coding a channel switch frame used for switching between channels of digital multimedia content. In particular, an encoding device may code channel switch frame to exclude one or more blocks of pixels that may be reconstructed at a desired fidelity at a decoding device using one or more spatial error concealment algorithms. Excluding the one or more blocks of pixels of the channel switch frame that can be reconstructed at a desirable fidelity reduces the amount of bandwidth necessary to code the portion of the channel switch frame, thus allowing more efficient utilization of available bandwidth.
