TLDR
This paper presents the design, implementation and experimental analysis of a distributed, real-time MPEG video and audio player designed for use across the Internet, a shared environment with variable traffic and with great diversity in network bandwidth and host processing speed.Abstract:
This paper presents the design, implementation and experimental analysis of a distributed, real-time MPEG video and audio player. The player is designed for use across the Internet, a shared environment with variable traffic and with great diversity in network bandwidth and host processing speed. We use a novel toolkit approach to build software feedback mechanisms for client/server synchronization, dynamic Quality-of-Service control, and system adaptiveness. Our experimental results show that the feedback mechanisms are effective, and that the player performs very well in the Internet environment.read more

Adaptive filtering of MPEG system streams in IP networks
TL;DR: An efficient adaptive filter for MPEG System streams that can be placed in the network that adjusts the bandwidth demands of an MPEG System stream to the available bandwidth without transcoding while maintaining synchronization between the streams embedded in the MPEG System.

Method and apparatus for switching between a directly connected and a networked audio source
TL;DR: In this paper, an audio information source interface that receives first audio information from an audio source directly connected to the audio playback device, an ADC configured to sample the first audio input, a network interface configured to connect the audio playout device to a network and to receive packets from the network containing second audio information and playback timing information from a network audio source; a DAC for generating an analog audio signal based on either the first or second audio input; an audio amplifier interconnected with the DAC and configured to amplify the audio signal.

Quality-of-service adaptive control of multimedia services in short-term resource reservation networks
TL;DR: This work benefits from the good approximation, identification, and control capabilities of recurrent high-order neural networks and introduces an algorithm that guarantees the resource constraints of the network infrastructure will not be violated while maintaining the user and application requirements.

Performance of a software MPEG video decoder
TL;DR: It is shown that memory bandwidth is the primary limitation in performance of the decoder, not the computational complexity of the inverse discrete cosine transform as is commonly thought.
