Design and Implementation of Adaptive Streaming Modules for Multipoint Video Communication

We've developed a middleware system for multipoint video communication on interconnected computer networks, which is able to use several audio video formats and transcode formats as necessary. The system is based on mobile agent technique and able to support multipoint video communication event with consideration of users' communication environments. In this paper, we describe design and implementation of adaptive streaming modules for multipoint video communication in our middleware system. By using the streaming modules in the middleware, it is able to use functions for processing WMV (Windows Media Video), DV (Digital Video) and HDV (High Definition Video) on multipoint video communication.
