Abstract
We present a voice-activated, hands-off, ATM-based video conferencing application. The application, called Vaudeville, features high quality NTSC video, voice-activated audio transmission, audio bridging of two audio streams, and voice-activated video switching. It supports multiple simultaneous multi-party conferences using a scalable multicast mechanism. We describe how Vaudeville was built using a component -based distributed programming environment. We also describe the algorithms used to control the audio and video of the application. Audio and video are encoded in hardware using an ATM hardware multimedia interface. KEYWORDS: distributed computing, multimedia, video conferencing 1 INTRODUCTION The main goal in developing Vaudeville was to create a teleconferencing application using ATM that facilitates a natural conferencing environment. This would be an environment that comes closest to a reallife conference that takes place in a meeting room. Video should be high quality. Th...
