Foil 54 Multimedia Applications

From User View of Tango Features with tutorial Tango Tutorial at SC98 Orlando -- November 8 98. by Geoffrey C. Fox
1 Tango has several multimedia applications
  • We have already seen the digital audio-video conferencing system Buena Vista
  • However we can also share audio and video files
2 The multimedia applications only use the Tango Server for control information. The high volume data is sent by separate channels outside the Tango Server
  • This ensures that the Tango server is highly robust and scales well as number of users increases.
3 The deployed version of Tango shares audio and video files using Java applets to decode multimedia data on the client (Video is low bandwidth H263)
  • Inside NPAC, we support a high end version with both MPEG and H263 codecs
