This technical demonstration shows that content-based networking is a promising technology for multireceiver video streaming. Each video receiver is provided with fine grained selectivity along different video dimensions, such as region of interest, quality, colors, and temporal resolution. Efficient delivery is maintained, in terms of network utilization and processing requirements. A prototype demonstrates the feasibility of this approach and is available as open source.
