Multimedia, Interfaces, and Graphics Seminar
(UC Berkeley Course CS 298-5)

This weekly seminar series includes speakers from UC Berkeley and elsewhere on advanced topics in multimedia, user interfaces, and graphics. The seminar has been webcast on the Internet MBONE world-wide since it was first offered in the Spring 1995 semester. We began simulcasting two Mbone streams (i.e., a 200 Kbs low bit-rate program on the public Mbone and a 1 Mbs medium bit-rate program on the Berkeley campus and selected experimental networks) in 1996. We began simulcasting a multiple bit-rate Real Networks webcast (i.e., 50 Kbs and 200 Kbs) in the Spring 1999 semester.

The Fall 1999 seminar will include three simulcasts: 1) low bit-rate Mbone, 2) medium bit-rate Mbone, and 3) multiple bit-rate Real Networks. The low bit-rate Mbone webcast is transmitted world-wide on the Public Mbone. The medium bit-rate webcast is transmitted on Internet2 using the new multicast addressing allocation worked out by the IETF. Sdr announcements are generated for both sessions. You can connect to the Real Networks or Mbone webcasts at the seminar web page.

More details about the seminar including the speakers and topics covered are available on the course pages listed below. Selected seminars are available for on-demand replay.
