ABSTRACT:

There are high expectations for delivering digital video over the Internet. Today, the media players and architectures not only play back video & audio, but also integrate hyperlinks and interactivity within the video stream (QuickTime, RealOne, WindowsMedia, and MPEG-4). In concert with the demonstration from Wright State University, the University of Utah demonstrators are prepared to discuss with attendees information about the many specifications and settings which lead to well-presented digital video on the web. These specifications include:

Internet pipeline data rates; (2) Media architectures; (3) Meaning of streaming; (4) Video formats; (5) Effect of quality of source materials; (6) Effect of screen activity; (7) Codecs; (8) Movie data rates; (9) Video frame rates; (10) Video frame size; (11) Audio sample rates; (12) Audio sample size; (13) File sizes & storage requirements; and (14) Embedding streams into HTML pages.

Join us and the Wright State experts in a phantasmagoria of information exchange about streaming video.

BENEFIT TO PARTICIPANTS ATTENDING SESSION:

Take advantage of the experiences and knowledge the University of Utah and Wright State University developers have gained in creating and delivering digital video over the Internet. We will tackle any questions, comments, or concerns from basic to expert levels of interest.
