Media Objects in Time - A Multimedia Streaming System
Abstract
Description
The widespread availability of networked multimedia potentials embedded in an infrastructure of qualitative superior kind gives rise to new approaches in the areas of teleteaching and internet presentation: The distribution of professionally styled multimedia streams has fallen in the realm of possibility. This paper presents a prototype - both model and runtime environment - of a time directed media system treating any kind of presentational contribution as reusable media object components. The plug-in free runtime system is based on a database and allows for a flexible support of static media types as well as for easy extensions by streaming media servers. The prototypic implementation includes a preliminary Web Authoring platform.
