reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA353279 | Open PDF

Abstract:

This effort demonstrated a functional video on demand VoD service running over a wide area high speed Asynchronous Transfer Mode ATM network. This report presents an overview of the efforts key results and accomplishments. the overall architecture of the video delivery service is described, including the implementation of the video search and retrieval methodology. The video server and video client architectures are discussed in detail, describing the options and paths chosen. Also included in the report is an overview of the hardware and network infrastructure that was built to provide the project testbed along with the wide area network WAN demonstrations used during the effort. Separate areas of the report provide information on several fundamental research issues such as Variable Bit Rate vs. Constant Bit Rate transmission, wavelet compression technology for video, IO support for scalable coders, and multimedia networking.
