Objective
The objective of the MPEG-4 PC project is to develop MPEG-4 multimedia technology for PC based applications. This technology will be applied to the development of telelearning applications on the MPEG-4 topic itself.
Key deliverables of MPEG-4 PC will be:
- a PC based hard- and software platform supporting MPEG-4 functionalities and applications
- a set of tools for porting applications to MPEG-4 and tools for developing new applications directly in MPEG-4
- a telelearning demonstrator.
Approach
The approach of the Project is designed to guarantee high flexibility towards new hardware components to be released during the next few years. All members of the consortium are also members of the ISO/MPEG-4 committee and will have first access to results and a certain degree of influence on standardisation work.
Impact of the expected Results
All MPEG-4 functionalities including telecommunication, video and audio, will be integrated into one MPEG-4 kernel using an embedded system based on a virtual processor in order to be flexible in adapting to rapidly changing chip technology. On top of this high level software such as C or C++ will be used. A set of development tools comprising application libraries, performance analysis tools and simulators etc. will be developed as well as a special run-time system for MPEG-4 applications. The development tools will be used to produce a telelearning application to demonstrate the suitability of the tools and the MPEG-4 hard- and software for Pcs.
Exploitation
The Project will contribute to the introduction of MPEG-4 applications by
- disseminating the telelearning demonstrator on the MPEG-4 topic
- introducing new MPEG-4 based hardware components
- exploiting authoring tools for MPEG-4 applications
