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
|
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.
|
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
