Multimedia Conferencing

System
Introduction to MCS 3.0
• Pure multitasking conferencing system
•Video conference made possible from Window based PC
•emulates regular conference in meeting rooms
• user-friendly and client-server based
•fully integrated network based conferencing system

The entities of MCS are :
• The Client entity
•The Conference Server entity
•The MLIC entity
•The Compression entity
Multimedia Conferencing
System
The Client entity performs :
•Multimedia captures
•Multimedia playback
•Data packetization & reconstruction

•Communication to server to maintain the RSW control criteria.

Video & Audio modules :
Dimension 160 x 120
Image Type 8 bit palletized (256 colors)
Protocol UDP (Broadcast Packets)

Audio type Wave format

Protocol UDP (Broadcast Packets)
Multimedia Conferencing
System
The MLIC entity
MLIC in active site LAN will :
•Listen to specified ports for Audio/Video packets
•Change to Audio/Video UDP unicast and transmit out.

MLIC in the destination LAN does:

•Data packetization & reconstruction
•Communication to server to maintain the RSW control criteria.

The Server entity
•Control the conferencing using the RSW control criteria
chosen
•To allow users to login into the system
•To reflect the document conferencing TCP/IP packets to all
participants.
•Establish inter-server links (during multi server conferences).

Data Compression (DC) entity
•Detect Audio/Video UDP unicast at the MLIC interface.
•Compress Audio/Video data and transmit via router interface.
•Receive compressed Audio/Video UDP unicast from router
interface.
•Uncompress Audio/Video data and transmit via LAN interface.
• All other miscellaneous network packets arriving at both
interfaces are transparently forwarded to the opposite interface
Multimedia Conferencing
System
The DC provides :
Implementation of any types of compression algorithm :
• H.261
• H.320
• MJPEG
• YUV411
