153 Xing Distributed Media Architecture: XDMA Benefits
* compatible with existing enterprise TCP/IP networks, including Ethernet,
ATM, FDDI, ISDN, T1 and Frame Relay
* adds live and on-demand video and audio services to private and public WAN's
and LAN's without infrastructure changes
* low overhead (3%) video and audio streams are fully routable
* all network components are SNMP manageable (3rd quarter 1995)
* network congestion is controlled by on-the-fly bitrate reduction of video and
audio streams; streams are scalable from full rate down to ISDN
BRI (56-128kbps)
* SQL database management of XDMA streams (3rd quarter 1995)
* servers may be distributed for load balancing and stream caching
* software-only and hardware accelerated video and audio decode provided
on client systems
* user interface customizable through HTML / HTTP (Web / Mosaic) interface
* compressed video and audio streams compliant with MPEG-1 and MPEG-2
(ISO/ICE 11172 and 13818) international standards
