چکیده
We present a voice-activated, hands-off, ATM-based video conferencing application. The application, called Vaudeville, features high quality NTSC video, voice-activated audio transmission, audio bridging of two audio streams, and voice-activated video switching. It supports multiple simultaneous multi-party conferences using a scalable multicast mechanism. We describe how Vaudeville was built using a component-based distributed programming environment. We also describe the algorithms used to control the audio and video of the application. Audio and video are encoded in hardware using an ATM hardware multimedia interface.

Intel’s MMX Speeds Multimedia: 3/5/96
The first major extension to the x86 instruction set since 1985 will greatly improve the venerable architecture’s handling of emerging multimedia applications. Collectively known as MMX, these 57 new instructions accelerate calculations common in audio, 2D and 3D graphics, video, speech synthesis and recognition, and data communications algorithms by as much as 8×. Overall, users will see a 50–...

متن کاملIDEA: A Cipher For Multimedia Architectures?
MMX is a new technology to accelerate multimedia applications on Pentium processors. We report an implementation of IDEA on a Pentium MMX that is 1:65 times faster than any previously known implementation on the Pentium. By parallelizing four IDEA's we reach an unprecedented 78 Mbits/s throughput per output block on a 166MHz MMX. In the light of rapidly increasing popularity of multimedia appli...
