Abstract: Adaptivity is a cornerstone concept in video streaming. Equipped with the concept of Transitions, we review in this paper adaptivity mechanisms known from classical video streaming scenarios. We specifically highlight how these mechanisms emerge in a specific context, such that their performance finally depends on the deployment conditions. Using multiple examples we highlight the strength of the concept of adaptivity at runtime for video streaming.
