  Real-Live In-Person Meeting
• Interact and Converse Naturally
• See and Hear All Users Simultaneously
• No Switching of Users All Live All the Time
• Include and Share Information
• Bring in Any Windows Application
• Whiteboard, Chat, and File Transfer
• Show stored VCR-like video from disk
• Locate and Connect Spontaneously

With A Consistent ...

• Unified Environment for Video Conferencing,
  Distance Learning, and Streaming Video
• With Live Videos mixed with
• Video-On-Demand from local or network disk
• TV-Quality Streaming Video, live or VOD
• A Mix of Bandwidths from 100Kbs to 100Mbs

5
...Without The Limitations ...

• No matter what the bandwidth connection, join
  with others over the network to collaborate
• Support diverse endpoints, with each user having
  complete and independent control over what they
  see and hear without effecting others in the
  conference session
• Endpoints span from the road warrior on a modem
  connected laptop to an executive conference room
  with dual projection video monitors

  of each desktop and available bandwidth
• Video (40 Kbps to 20 Mbps)
• Audio (10 Kbps to 1.5 Mbps)
• User-definable video window resolutions
• (640x480, 320x240, 160x120)

• PRO video in hardware
• Only MJPEG is encoded/decoded on the PRO Board
• H.263/MPEG-1 decoded in SW
• Audio is always encoded/decoded in SW

Mixing PRO and LITE Clients - Cont

• PRO Client
• Hardware encodes and decodes MJPEG off-loading
  processor
• Software encodes and decodes H.263/261 using
  processor

• LITE Client
• Software decodes MJPEG using processor, currently
  does not encode MJPEG.
• Software encodes and decodes H.263/261 using
  processor

21
Mixing PRO and LITE Clients - Cont

• PRO Client
• Hardware encodes and decodes MJPEG off-loading
  processor
• Software encodes and decodes H.263/261 using
  processor

• LITE Client
• Software decodes MJPEG using processor, currently
  does not encode MJPEG.
• Software encodes and decodes H.263/261 using
  processor

• So,
• You cant expect to have one PRO (conference
  room) with 20 outlying LITE clients.
• Even though there is a PRO board, all of the
  video from the LITE clients must be decoded in
  SW.
• Only PRO lt-gt PRO clients take advantage of the HW
  card

22
Mixing Conference and Streaming Video

• Within a live conference or lecture, a live
  broadcast can be added to all clients with no
  problem.
• Call the broadcasting client as a video server
• Audio is live in every window, through the audio
  bridge
• All clients receive the live broadcast at the
  same time

• Within a live conference or lecture, a
  stored-on-disk broadcast can be added, but the
  audio is treated differently.
• Connect to the stored video through the broadcast
  button, then browse the network or local disk for
  the video
• Each client must connect separately
• Stored Audio does not go the audio bridge
• Click on Conference Video to hear conference
  audio
• Click on Broadcast Video to hear stored audio
• Each client receives the stored broadcast at
  different times

23
Mixing Conference and Streaming Video

• So, just how do you achieve full audio
  functionality when mixing live and stored videos?
  There must be separate audio playback devices on
  the client for the live and stored video/audio
  streams.
• Live streams to the ACV PRO board receiving PRO
  or LITE video and audio. Audio goes through the
  Audio Bridge.
• The received stored streaming video is MPEG-1 and
  either
• Decoded in SW on the computer monitor, with the
  audio coming out of the computers sound system.
• Decoded in HW using the Optibase MPEG decoder
  board with the video and audio going to an
  external video monitor.
• This cannot be done with just a LITE client, both
  the live and stored streams will compete for the
  audio output.
