| Abstract: | This report presents the design and implementation of a hardware-supported multi media environment for PCs. The vision is a network that allows users of plain PC s to profit from a rich collection of multimedia programs such as selected TV ch annels, video on demand, teleported lectures, and so on. Our implementation is b ased on Native Oberon (Oberon running natively on a PC) and on the Switcherland hardware. Innovation highlights are (a) guaranteed transmission band-width for a udio/video streams, (b) built-in multicast support, (c) globally accessible disp lay frame buffers, (d) integrated display of remotely generated video streams at the client site, and (e) a central server for the management of available multimedia programs. |
