Video Server System Using Personal Storage in Long-Delay Network

Design and Implementation of a Low-cost Clustered Video Server Using a Network of Personal Computers

Video-on-Demand systems will be the video rental shops of the future. One of the great challenges in VoD domain is to optimize the cost/performance ratio of the designed system. In this paper we present a clustered, high performance, high availability and low cost VoD system, which is based on a network of personal computers. We experimented with state-of-the-art video compression algorithms li...

Enlarge Bandwidth of Multimedia Server with Network Attached Storage System

Network attached storage system is proposed to solve the bottleneck problem of the multimedia server. It adds a network channel to the RAID and data can be transferred between the Net-RAID and clients directly. The architecture avoids expensive store-and-forward data copying between the multimedia server and storage devices when clients download/upload data from/to the server. The system perfor...

Low-Delay Video Control in a Personal Area Network for Augmented Reality

A Personal Area Network (PAN) is a feature of an Augmented Reality system, transmitting modified video for real-time display. In the paper, low-delay communication of encoded video over a Bluetooth wireless PAN is achieved by a combination of dynamic packetisation of video slices together with centralised and predictive rate control. The result is minimized packet delay (below 0.05 s) and highq...

A Scalable Parallel Video Server Based on Autonomous Network-attached Storage

In this paper we present a parallel video server based on an “autonomous” network-attached storage sub-system. The “autonomous” means that, the storage nodes do not only serve as data container passively under the command of control node, but also have control over their own resources. They keep track of their own resource utilization, take part in the admission control, accomplish the applicat...
