- Welcome to the UC Berkeley Plateau Multimedia Project archive site.
- This directory contains the following directories and files:
-
- README - this file.
- ivs2.0-px-hp.tar.Z - Source code for the Inria VideoConf System.
- mpeg - Source code for the UCB public domain mpeg decoder and
- movies.
- papers - Postscript for various multimedia papers.
- Tcl-DP - A distributed programming extension to Tcl/Tk
-
- More details on these directories and files are included below. This file
- was last updated on 20 Jan 1993.
-
- -- papers ----------------------------------------------------------------------
- The papers directory contains the following papers:
-
- o CMPlayer.ps.Z describes the architecture of the Plateau CM Player.
- It appeared at the "3rd Intl Workshop on Network and OS Support for
- Digital Audio and Video", San Diego, CA, Nov 92.
-
- o Mpeg93.ps.Z is a paper describing our experience building the mpeg
- decoder. Submitted for publication, January 1993.
-
- o compressed.ps.Z -- is a paper describing a set of fast special effects
- transforms that can be performed directly on compressed jpeg images.
- To appear in "IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications".
-
- o ic-course.ps.Z -- is a paper that describes a hypermedia course titled
- "Introduction to Semiconductor Manufacturing and Markets." This course
- was developed with the Hypermedia-in-Picasso system to learn about
- hypermedia courseware. Of particular interest are the video nodes created
- from course lectures at U.C. Berkeley.
-
- o ic-study.ps.Z -- describes a human factors experiment to study learning
- navigation in a hypermedia course. The course used was the Semiconductor
- Manufacturing Introduction mentioned in the previous paper. Submitted
- for publication January 1993.
-
- -- mpeg ---------------------------------------------------------------------
- The mpeg directory contains MPEG related materials. Virtually all files
- are 8 bit encoded, so be sure to set binary transfer mode when you ftp
- any of these files.
-
- o mpeg-???.tar.Z is the latest version of the Berkeley MPEG player
- o v???.patch.tar.Z is the patch file from the previous release of
- the MPEG player
- o MPEG.faq is the frequently asked questions list for MPEG (thanks to
- Frank Gadegast, phade@cs.tu-berlin.de)
- o movies/ is a subdirectory containing a variety of mpeg movies. Most of
- these are I-frame only sequences produced using the XING encoder. Some
- are quite large (esp genoa.mpg), so be sure you have enough space before
- you grab them.
-
- -- ivs2.0-px-hp.tar.Z ----------------------------------------------------------
- This is a software implementation of the INRIA VIDEOCONFERENCE SYSTEM, in a
- "standard" environment, under UNIX, X-WINDOWS and using Motif 1.1 toolkit.
- IVS implements the CCITT H.261 standard compression algorithms on top of
- TCP/IP. This results in a very low bandwidth video which perfectly suits
- video coneferencing over the Internet.
-
- Video coders are provided for several capture boards including: Sun
- VideoPix, Parallax XVIDEO, SGI INDIGOVIDEO, and HP VideoLive.
-
- This software is being redistributed in the US for Frank Ruge from the
- Technical University of Berlin <frank@prz.tu-berlin.dbp.de>. For further
- information and bug reports please contact him or the folks in Inria.
-
- -- Tcl-DP ----------------------------------------------------------------------
- Tcl Distributed Programming (Tcl-DP) is a public domain extension to Tcl/Tk.
- Tcl-DP adds TCP and IP connection management, remote procedure call (RPC), and
- distributed object protocols to Tcl/Tk.
