Abstract

In this paper the design and rapid prototyping of networked A/V CE appliances is described. Practical implementations of three types of appliance are described: (i) a streaming A/V server; (ii) a streaming A/V client device and (iii) a networked A/V transcoding device. It is shown how these devices can be used to provide both a robust and scalable multimedia solution, which can be adapted for use in many applications. A review of known techniques for realizing the required multimedia functionality is given and some methods of reducing the development time of these prototypes are also discussed
