Digital Equipment Corporation, with its partner Triadigm Technology, developed a prototype application which demonstrated the potential of new media technologies to digitize, store, manage, and present photos, graphics, film, video, music, narration, and text from the SF Histroy, Gay & Lesbian, and Dorothy Starr special collections - and deliver presentation based on this material to multimedia workstation across a Local Area Network. This presentation will illuminate: 1. the development of the prototype application; 2. the year-long analysis of the prototype under conditions of actual patron use; 3. the design of the application, from the underlying database structure through the coding used to develop the high-level Future Arts software; and 4. current efforts to expand the scope and functionality of the applications at the SFPL. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> See www-plateau.cs.berkeley.edu/298 for further information. The seminar will be broadcast on the Internet MBONE starting at 12:40. The Fujitsu Seminar room (405 Soda) has approximately 30 seats. Folks at Berkeley might want to attend the seminar by watching it on your workstation, if you can receive MBONE transmissions.

I have a few questions about currently used protocol versions and Hardware/Software configurations: 1.) I have read draft-ietf-avt-rtp-08.ps which describes RTPv2, however if I take a look at what VAT 3.4 or NV 3.3beta sends it seems to be some RTPv0 or RTPv1 respectively. Question: What versions of RTP do the usual Mbone tools (sd, vic, vat, nv, ivs, wb) use and where can I find the specifications of these versions? 2.) I am using a sun sparcstation 5 with SunOS 4.1.4 and a Paralax video capture board. When I start up vic (from vicbin-2.7a26-sunos4.1.4.tar) and try to start sending, it sais it can't capture the videoboard. This is although the paralax board has been recognized by vic correctly. Question: What am I doing wrong? I have heard from someone else that he had the same problem. http://www-nrg.ee.lbl.gov/vic/ doesn't say anything about this. 3.) I think of buying a cheaper videocapture board for another sparcstation5 (with SunOS4.1.3_U1) we have. I have found the following in ftp.isi.edu:/mbone/faq.txt (22-Dec-94): For example, the VideoPix card has been used on the SPARC, but is no longer for sale. The newer SunVideo card is supported under Solaris 2.x, but there is no device driver for SunOS 4.1.x (at least not yet). Question: Is this still true? Where can I find a discussion of available products (including discussion on Mbone-tool compatibility). Does a newer faq.txt exist? regards Jan-Peter Richter ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jan-Peter Richter Vogt-Koelln-Str.30 Universitaet Hamburg D-22527 Hamburg Fachbereich Informatik Tel: +49 40 54715-344 Arbeitsbereich Rechnerorganisation Fax: +49 40 54715-345 e-mail: richter@informatik.uni-hamburg.de ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From rem-conf-request@es.net Mon Dec 04 12:08:11 1995 Received: from mtau.mt.br.np.els-gms.att.net by osi-west.es.net with ESnet SMTP (PP); Mon, 4 Dec 1995 09:07:46 -0800 Date: Mon, 04 Dec 1995 12:08:52 +0000 From: bbacon@attmail.com (Beth Abate-Bacon) Received: from bbacon by attmail; Mon Dec 4 17:07:28 GMT 1995 Subject: intention to multicast To: rem-conf@es.net Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: Text/Plain; charset=us-ascii Message-ID: Hello: We intend to multicast the Macworld Expo 96 Conference live over the MBone.

(See Amir, McCanne, and Zhang "An Application Level Video Gateway". In proceedings of ACM Multimedia '95. November, 1995 or http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~elan/articles/pub/vgw.ps) Vgw conforms to the final (RTP-7) Internet Draft for the IETF AVT Real Time Transport protocol. It also conforms to the July '95 Internet Draft for the H.261 payload specification. As a result, you'll need to use an RTP compliant application (e.g. vic version 2.7 alpha) to view the H.261 output of the gateway. Source and binaries are available from: ftp://daedalus.cs.berkeley.edu/pub/vgw/alpha-test This alpha-test is intended for sites who are interested in fielding the new release and are willing to debug and report problems. This is *not* a stable, general public release. Once the alpha testers have tripped over the major bugs, we intend to do a general release. This will include updated vgw binaries for most supported systems. If you are interested in receiving updates about vgw related information, in particular updates on availability of new versions of vgw, please send mail to vgw-request@daedalus.cs.berkeley.edu requesting this. Attached is the distribution README including platform support and general information. Please direct vgw-related correspondence to vgw@daedalus.cs.berkeley.edu (which includes only the developers and is not distributed beyond our site), and thanks for any help with the alpha-test. Thank you! -- Elan Amir (elan@cs.berkeley.edu) Steve McCanne (mccanne@cs.berkeley.edu) Notes for Version 1.0-alpha of the Video Gateway ------------------------------------------------ VGW 1.0 ALPHA vgw@daedalus.cs.berkeley.edu University of California at Berkeley Daedalus Group ftp://daedalus.cs.berkeley.edu/pub/vgw/ INTRODUCTION ------------ This is version 1.0-alpha of the Video Gateway. It is an experimental application level tool which enables rate controlling between two RTP video sessions through format conversion (transcoding) and frame dropping. The Video Gateway contains two components: 1. The engine: vgw 2. The user interface: vgw_ui These two programs run as separate processes and communicate over a shared communication channel. This model allows other applications to control the gateway enabling coordination between tools in the conferencing environment. *IMPORTANT*: ALPHA RELEASE NOTES -------------------------------- The current version of the gateway is still in the alpha stage. As such, you will probably encounter problems. We would greatly appreciate it if upon encountering a problem, you could please relay as much information and context as possible about the problem to vgw@daedalus.cs.berkeley.edu. If you wish to be on the vgw mailing list which primarily will be used to update on availability of new versions, please send mail indicating this to vgw-request@daedalus.cs.berkeley.edu. Thank you! REQUIREMENTS ------------ The following libraries and capabilities are required for a build of the video gateway: 1. Tcl7.4/Tk4.0 Available from ftp://ftp.smli.com/pub/tcl See http://www.smli.com/research/tcl for complete information. 2. Tcl/Tk BLT extensions version 1.8 Available from ftp://ftp.cs.uoregon.edu/pub/jhobbs Note that this is not an official BLT version, but rather patches applied by Jeffrey Hobbs (jhobbs@cs.uoregon.edu) and others to the official 1.7 version. 3. IP Multicast support See http://www.best.com/~prince/techinfo/mbone.html. PLATFORMS ---------- The video gateway has been built and tested on the following platforms: 1. Sun SPARC: Solaris 2.4, SunOS 4.x (with IP Multicast support) 2. Intel x86: BSD/OS 2.0 3. DEC/AXP: OSF/1 3.x 4. SGI Indy: IRIX 5.x INSTALLATION ------------ In the current directory follow the following steps: % ./configure Due to ambiguities in the naming of the new and old versions libtcl and libtk, if you have more than one installation of these libraries you should verify that LIB_TCL and INCLUDE_TCL have been defined appropriately in ui/Makefile and vgw/Makefile, and LIB_TK and SRC_TK_TCL have been appropriately defined in ui/Makefile. If you only have one version of tcl/tk (7.4/4.0) on your system - you can ignore the previous comment. % make depend % make The standard installation directory is /usr/local/bin. If you wish to change this directory, edit at this point the 'install' target of ./Makefile. % make install RUNNING THE GATEWAY ------------------- The install will install two programs "vgw_ui" and "vgw". To run the gateway, simply type: % vgw_ui where sessionA and sessionB are two conference sessions (multicast or unicast) specified in the format: addr/port[/ttl]. Note: you must have the installation directory of the engine, vgw, in your path since the user interface will attempt to execute it and will fail otherwise. (You can also manually specify an engine using the -x flag, see vgw_ui(1)). TRANSCODERS ----------- The following transcoders exist in the current version of the gateway: 1. jpeg to h261 2. nv to h261 Any other input format other than jpeg or nv will simply be forwarded across the gateway (and will be denoted in the interface as a "pass-thru" transcoder). H.261 ENCODER NOTE ------------------ The H.261 format used in the gateway is not compatible with vic versions prior to the current 2.7 which currently is in advanced alpha status. Thus, in order to view the output of the gateway, you must install vic-2.7, available >from ftp://ftp.ee.lbl.gov/vic/conferencing/alpha-test.

The main benefit of RAT is its resilience to packet loss due to the incorporation of a secondary low-bandwidth redundant encoding. RAT is still experimental but alpha releases can be obtained using anonymous ftp from: cs.ucl.ac.uk in the directory mice/rat (Europe) ftp.lcs.mit.edu in the directory pub/mice (USA) The initial RAT session will take place on Tuesday 12 Dec. We will attempt to cover as many sessions as possible but may not cover all of them if this interferes with the main multicast which will be using VAT. The RAT session will probably NOT be advertised on SD (because of conflicts with existing .sd.tcl configurations. The correct command line to start it will be: rat -t 127 224.2.10.20/17010 We are extremely interested in feedback, particularly regarding difference in quality between RAT and VAT.

A hacked version of sd_listen fills a database with session data. The CGI script http://andrew.triumf.ca/cgi-bin/rddb.cgi reads it and, if you have the little script ftp://andrew.triumf.ca/pub/sdl , launches some tools when you select VIEW. Currently, there is nothing to kill expired sessions, and there is no file locking so it will probably die if two processes try to access the database at once. Also, it inherits all the bugs of sd_listen (except the one about formats for more than one media). I didn't use sd_launch because 1) I couldn't get it to compile (OK, I didn't try terrribly hard), and 2) as I understand, it passes a token to a running copy of sd, which would have the same problem as trying to run multiple copies of regular sd. What I'd like is some information about the time fields in sd, so I can decode the lifetime data and kill old sessions. Passing them to Perl as a regular variable didn't seem to work.

We must stand up and let Congress know that we will not tolerate their attempts to destroy this medium! Please join hundreds of thousands of your fellow citizens in a National Day of Protest on Tuesday December 12, 1995. As you know, on Wednesday December 6, 1995, the House Conference Committee on Telecommunications Reform voted to impose far reaching and unconstitutional "indecency" restrictions on the Internet and other interactive media, including large commercial online services (such as America Online, Compuserve, and Prodigy) and smaller Internet Service Providers such as Panix, the Well, Echo, and Mindvox. These restrictions threaten the very existence of the Internet and interactive media as a viable medium for free expression, education, commerce. If enacted, the Internet as we know it will never be the same. Libraries will not be able to put any books online that might offend a child somewhere. No "Catcher in the Rye" or "Ulysses" on the net. Internet Service Providers could face criminal penalties for allowing children to subscribe to their Internet Services, forcing many small companies to simply refuse to sell their services to anyone under 18. Worst of all, everything you say and publish on the net will have to be "dumbed down" to that which is acceptable to a child. As Internet users, we simply must not allow this assault against the Internet and our most basic freedoms to go unchallenged. On Tuesday December 12, the organizations below are urging you to join us in a NATIONAL DAY OF PROTEST. The goal is to flood key members of the House and Senate with phone calls, faxes and email with the message that the Internet community WILL NOT TOLERATE Congressional attempts to destroy the Internet, limit our freedoms and trample on our rights. Below are the phone, fax, and email address of several key members of Congress on this issue and instructions on what you can do to join the National Day of Protest to save the Net. ______________________________________________________________________ WHAT YOU MUST DO ON TUESDAY DECEMBER 12, 1995 1. Throughout the day Tuesday December 12, please contact as many members of Congress on the list below as you can. If you are only able to make one call, contact House Speaker Newt Gingrich. Finally, if the Senator or Representative from your state is on the list below, be sure to contact him or her also. 2. Urge each Member of Congress to "stop the madness". Tell them that they are about to pass legislation that will destroy the Internet as an educational and commercial medium. If you are at a loss for words, try the following sample communique: Sample phone call: Both the House and Senate bills designed to protect children from objectionable material on the Internet will actually destroy the Internet as an medium for education, commerce, and political discourse. There are other, less restrictive ways to address this issue. I urge you to oppose both measures being proposed in the conference committee. This is an important election issue to me. Sample letter (fax or email): The Senate conferees are considering ways to protect children from inappropriate material on the Internet. A vote for either the House or Senate proposals will result in the destruction of the Internet as a viable medium for free expression, education, commerce. Libraries will not be able to put their entire book collections online. Everyday people like me will risk massive fines and prison sentences for public discussions someone s somewhere might consider "indecent". There are other, less restrictive ways to protect children from objectionable material online. This is an important election issue to me. 3.

We have a SunSparc5 running Solaris 2.3 and the latest Parallax upgrade (dont have that number handy). It was all ordered and installed in 1995. I have tried vic 2.7a29 but have had numerous system reboots and window manager crashes. I am also looking at the newer ivs but nv is the most standard because of sd and because I like the X11 grabber in nv. Can you point me to a parallax built nv3.3beta binary for solaris 2.3? The one at ftparc.xerox doesn't have parallax support in it. Parallax XVideo capture support provided by Peter Schnorf , Henning Schulzrinne , and Bill Fenner .

Mouftah, Queen's University, Canada Mohammed Atiquzzaman, Monash University, Australia. _______________________________________________________________________________ Papers are solicited for a special issue of the International Journal of Computer Systems Science & Engineering on Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) Switching to be published in the third quarter of 1996. During the past decade, a considerable amount of effort has been made in studying and designing ATM switches which is believed to be the most developed aspect of ATM. The field has now become a mature area and ATM switches are becoming commercially available. This special issue will include a set of original and survey articles from both industry and academia that represents the current state-of-the-art in ATM switching. Possible topics include (but are not limited to): o Switch architectures o Fault tolerance o Buffering schemes o Congestion control and traffic management o Performance modeling o Practical experience & field trials o Buffer management o Simulation techniques for large switches o Commercial switches Five copies of complete manuscripts (not to exceed 25 double-spaced pages) should be sent to Mohammed Atiquzzaman by 1 February 1996. Please include a title page containing author(s) names and affiliations, postal addresses, e-mail addresses, telephone numbers, and fax numbers. Electronic (PostScript only) submissions are encouraged.

Could you please enlighten me... What is VAT? Is it some kind of protocols and if so what's the major difference between VAT and RTP? Where can I obtain the VAT specification? Is there any RTP payload format for Audio such as mu-law or GSM? Where can I obtain these formats?

I recorded some audio from the WWW4 conference using vat_record and have been playing it back. Sometimes I hear a sort of "poppling" effect from Linux vat v3.5 - kind of a cross between a pop and a ripple. Less frequently I get a DMA timeout with an audio looping effect, which clears itself after a few seconds. Having the recording, it became clear it's something to do with vat/Linux rather than dropouts on the Mbone. Clicking on the usernames (to bring up the stats panel) while vat is playing seems to make the poppling go away for a while. My system (486/66 w/16Mb) shows about 90% idle; other activity doesn't seem to affect it. Short audio clips (800kb WAV) or AVI (eg. Disney Toystory promo) are fine. Is this something I can fix in a config, a problem in vat, or must I buy a Gravis Ultrasound ?

There have been reports of some conflicts with Creative Labs and Cirrus cards. If that's the trouble, maybe you should change your video card instead. :-) I have enclosed the FAQ below. The FAQ mentions that the problem happens in DOS only (I assume meaning Windows works fine) and then only with programs that use VESA. Are you running vat with nv? Are you running X with vat? Try vat by itself and see if you still have trouble. ...Roy ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Roy S.

Cause ===== There is an incompatibility between some Creative Labs sound cards (the SB16 in particular) and Cirrus Logic based video cards. The problem is known to both Creative Labs and Cirrus Logic but neither of them know what the exact problem is! NOTE that the Diamond Speedster Pro uses a Cirrus Logic chipset and therefore this FAQ applies equally to this video board. Cards Effected ============== I would be interested in hearing about any combinations that work and do not work. Here is my example:- SB16 & Orchid Kelvin (CLGD5434) - causes rapid clicking SBpro 2 & Diamond Speedster Pro - pops and crackles Programs Effected ================= The incompatibility is with the VESA bios on the video card and therefore it only effects games which use VESA. This includes all games which run in SVGA modes. The following games are known to use VESA. * = VESA driver only used in high resolution graphics mode The 7th Guest * Simcity 2000 * Theme Park * Magic Carpet * The Need For Speed Fatal Racing Nascar Racing Star Trek the Next Generation * Wing commander 4 Transport Tycoon Transport Tycoon Deluxe Links 386 Pro There are probably many more. Please email me if you know of any others. How To Overcome =============== To overcome the problem is relatively easy. You simply load a dos based VESA driver for the video card. Cirrus have some drivers on their FTP site which I believe is ftp.cirrus.com but I could be wrong as I have never gone there. If you know that it is wrong then please let me know. I personally use a program called Universal VESA Driver which is a program that can be used for many different video cards. It is small and apparently faster than the available Cirrus ones although it is shareware and does nag when you run it. The Universal VESA Driver can be found by looking for a filename like UNIVBE51.ZIP.

Unfortunately, your description is somewhat misleading and (understandably) incomplete. We haven't published a low-level description of the protocol because it's highly experimental and we're going to change it. (A high-level description of the receiver-reliable multicast transport is described in our SIGCOMM95 paper.) The wb protocol is more or less the initial cut I did for a class project in 1992 -- needless to say, we have learned quite a bit since then from our work on RTP and the audio/video applications. The next-generation of the wb protocol will adopt much of the RTP framework, but this merge will require some work. We have a couple wb-related projects slated for UCB students this Spring and we're hoping this work will accelerate the dissemination of the wb protocol (and source code). > We have built a simple wb-recorder/player, (not for distribution > because of their not-so-steady state, sorry) and I think it will be > quit easy to implement a wb-recorder/player on your own with this info. > > It would be great if someone put it into VCR! I don't think it's that easy to write a flexible wb-archival tool. In particular, VCR needs to be able to rewind. But there is no notion of rewind in the wb-protocol (only in the user-interface). The problem is that timing and reliable-transport are folded together. The playback tool needs to be able to issue positioning information indepedent from the timing of the original drawops (and this information in turn must be reliably delivered).

To recap, the program operates as such; if a current vistium owner buys a ProShare kit, the client will recieve a second ProShare kit for the trade-in of his/her Vistium. You went on to imply that the program was rediculous because of all sorts of techncial advantages of the Vistium product and that it has a value of 3-4K (because that is what the coustomer paid for it a year ago?). While I do not dispute the technical facts that you identified for the Vistium product, your knowledge of ProShare and client needs is limited because: A. The ProShare H.320 software is included with all ProShare kits and it is a no-charge upgrade for those who don't have it which are very few. Therefore, it is not an option....It is free! B. Perhaps the client would rather have two (2) videoconferecing sites instead of 1 and the trade in program offers them operational value. If they could buy another Vistium (and the product had not been discontinued), their additional cost would be 3-4K. With ProShare, their incremental cost to add an additional site is 2K. For most clients, cost is a least as important as technical features and functionality. C. The current software release, 1.9 (a free upgrade) offers video(capture and display) at 320 X 240 pixels. D. It is apparent that you have not considered why AT&T is "shutting down" Vistium in favour of ProShare? If you would like to learn more about ProShare, perhaps sign an NDA (Non Disclosure Agreement), you would see why so many organizations are choosing ProShare to meet their videoconferencing requirements. There is much to learn about G.728, H.261, Indeo, T.12X, H.323, H.324, etc. There is also much to learn about Intel's participation in the ITU. I would agree that ProShare can be improved. The virtue of ProShare is that it will continue to be improved and that the software releases are free. We already have a proven track record for meeting our commitments and we can document and demonstrate our commitments for the future. Anyway, I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and I hope Santa brings you a new Paradigm. Tyler Cashion Corporate Account Manager Intel of Canada, Ltd. PS...It wasn't very long ago that I was an independant consultant engineering videoconferencing solutions. I too, was very suportive of many other industry products until I started to evaluate ProShare.

The Proshare Video at 320x240 uses the wrong pixel aspect ratio, ensuring that the picture from Proshare to a real H.320 system would make everyone look short and fat, assuming that you could actually make the connection. > > D. It is apparent that you have not considered why AT&T is "shutting > down" Vistium in favour of ProShare? My understanding is that ATT underwent a complete corporate fission event, that resulted in the death of the GIS group, which owned Vistium. This forced ATT Network systems to replace the Vistium and they chose PictureTel PCS and Proshare. stuff deleted...
