Foil 48 Multimedia Applications

From Pictorial View of Tango Features with tutorial SIGGRAPH 98 Orlando -- July 19-23 98. by Geoffrey C. Fox


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
