Abstract

In parallel to the widely known WWW with HTML and Java, ISO and ITU-T in conjunction with DAVIC have developed standards such as MHEG5 and DSM-CC that support interactive multimedia services-on-demand. Rather than arguing which development better suits the needs of the users, this article presents the Penguin architecture and corresponding implementation efforts supporting the co-existence and interworking between both environments. This includes native MHEG-5 clients and servers with HTML-MHEG gateways as well as WWW browsers using MHEG plug-ins or Java applets for the presentation of MHEG-5 objects
