Base System and Network-Integrated Architecture.
Today, we are surrounded by a constantly growing number of networked
multimedia devices. These devices offer high-quality input and output
capabilities often together with enough computing power and
programmability to perform a variety of multimedia
operations. However, integrating and controlling these distributed
devices from an application is difficult because of the variety of
underlying technologies.
We are currently developing a network-integrated multimedia
middleware. Our architecture allows for a flexible usage of different
networking technologies and offers the extensibility to transparently
use various existing infrastructures. Distributed devices can be
discovered, inspected, and then integrated into a common media
processing graph.
