Cisco Systems and the University of Oregon, will be generating
three types of multicast streams for this event. The primary video codecs
used to encode the video are H.261, MPEG-1 & MPEG-2.
H.261 Broadcast. The H.261 stream will be visible to users with
the standard multicast tools from the UCL Mbone
Conferencing applications archive, and most other free and commecrial
tools that can can handle H.261/PCM. For information about setting up
MBone tools for Windows95/NT, Macintosh, and Unix, see:
MPEG-1 Broadcast. The MPEG-1 stream will be generated using
IP/TV, a streaming video server from Cisco. The IP/TV MPEG-1 stream will
be visible either with a liscensed or demo version of IP/TV or with MIM, a
UNIX MPEG streaming client developed at the University of Oregon:
MPEG-2 Broadcast. The MPEG-2 stream will be usable by a smaller
subset of I2 clients whose desktop machines support MPEG-2 decoding. Users
can download the IP/TV 3.0 client here:
