Full-color real-time video broadcasting over ATM LAN

Abstract

In this paper our experience of broadcasting full-color, full-size, real-time video over an ATM LAN is reported. The broadcasting system is adaptive in that each receiver can view video at its highest affordable frame rate. Effort has been made to guarantee continuous audio and best-effort audio and video synchronization. The key factors of the major components of the system which limit the performance of real-time ATM video applications are then discussed. Suggestions are given to address these limitations.
