In this demonstration, we show an energy-aware video streaming system which allows users to play back video for the specified duration within the remaining battery amount. In the system, we execute a proxy server on an intermediate node in the network. It receives the video stream from a content server, transcodes it to the videos with appropriate quality, and forwards it to a PDA or a laptop PC. Here, suitable parameter values of the video (such as picture size, frame rate and bitrate) which enable playback for the specified duration are automatically calculated on the proxy using our battery consumption model. The system also allows users to play back video segments with different qualities based on the importance specified to each video segment.
