Abstract
There is provided a method and devices for encoding and streaming a video sequence over a plurality of network connections. A video sequence is encoded (S04) in parallel into a number of encoded video sequences having different video properties. The encoded video sequences are then streamed (S06) in parallel over the plurality of network connections. Each encoded video sequence is streamed over at least one of the plurality of network connections, and, for each network connection, an encoded video sequence having video properties that match desired video properties of the network connection. In response to detecting (S08) that the desired video properties of one of the network connections have changed, the number of encoded video sequences is increased or decreased (S10).
