In this paper, we propose a software-based HD video transmission system that can deliver stereoscopic HD video securely over IP networks. To realize a flexible cost-effective system, processing components such as synchronized stereo multiplexing, network sending and receiving, corresponding de-multiplexing, and parallel decoding are all performed in software. To address the need for secure and confidential delivery, we also consider the security aspect of stereoscopic HD video transmission with low-complexity partial encryption. By adopting partial encryption scheme that protects selected important portion of HD video stream, we are balancing computational overhead and required security protection. Finally, based on a prototype implementation, we evaluate the feasibility and complexity of proposed system.
