چکیده
The provision of interactive multimedia services such as video on demand teleshoping and distance learning to a large num ber of users still remains a challenging issue in the multimedia area Despite of recent technological advances in all levels of the distributed multimedia infrastructure storage network compression standardiza tion etc there is a strong need for feedback from public trials Trial descriptions and evaluations by revealing potential system limitations and measuring end user reactions will provide valuable input towards the large scale deployment of such services In this paper we present the teleteaching trial that was held at the end of at Limburg University Belgium in the context of ACTS SICMA project We describe in detail the overall architecture and present results implementation experiences for the parts of the system putting the main emphasis on the server We present technical integration issues between DAVIC and Internet server protocols RTSP DSM CC etc and discuss the overall trial results
