1. A method implemented on a computer infrastructure comprising:
- determining, by a computing device, that one or more requesting devices have subscribed to receive digital media content from a remote content server, wherein the one or more requesting devices are remote from the computing device;
subscribing, by the computing device, to the digital media content on the content server;
receiving, by the computing device, the digital media content from the remote content server;
determining, by the computing device, a codec associated with the digital media content to be sent to the one or more requesting devices;
determining, by the computing device, that at least one of the one or more requesting devices does not have the codec associated with the digital media content to be sent to the one or more requesting devices based on one or more device profiles of the one or more requesting devices;
determining, by the computing device, using the one or more device profiles of the one or more requesting devices, whether to use a first mode to send the codec associated with the digital media content or use a second mode to send a reference to the codec associated with the digital media content;
in response to determining to use the first mode, sending, by the computing device and through an online network, the codec associated with the digital media content to be sent to the one or more requesting devices, to the at least one of the one or more requesting devices after at least one of the one or more requesting devices is determined to not have the codec so that the at least one of the one or more requesting devices does not need to determine and search for the codec associated with the digital media content;
in response to determining to use the second mode, sending, by the computing device, the reference to the codec to the at least one of the one or more requesting devices via a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) message; and
sending the digital media content to the one or more requesting devices.

Abstract
An architecture (system) and method is provided for transcoding codec information to be sent in a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) signaling stream for rendering rich digital media content. The method is implemented on a computer infrastructure and includes: determining a codec associated with content to be sent to one or more requesting devices; determining that at least one of the one or more requesting devices do not have the codec associated with the content to be sent to the one or more requesting devices; providing codec information to the at least one of the one or more requesting devices; and sending the content to the one or more requesting devices.
