O(2)Flow Streaming Multicast Media

Principal Investigator Howard Shrobe

Co-investigator Kimberle Koile


O2flow is a Metaglue package for capturing, multicasting, and rendering real-time audio and video media streams. O2flow maintains its own MBONE-compatible multicast sessions and offers multicast directory lookup services to all Metaglue agents. O2flow relies on Sun's Java Media Framework, and requires full JMF-compatibility (currently available on Win32 or Linux).

Next steps include creating distributed media storage repositories for media archiving, indexing, and retrieval, and integrating O2flow with the eFacilitator for meeting capture.
