The MTP multicast service provides for a reliable transmission of information, as it guarantees that all targeted recipients will receive packet traffic at essentially the same moment. MTP multicast ensures a reliable transmission of information, as it guarantees that time-sensitive packets will be delivered to targeted recipients at exactly the right moment. MTP represents a significant step forward, as it ensures that a large number of users can interact in an information-critical network environment without fear of packet loss. Although transferring today s broadcast media to the Internet may seem like a natural consequence of the development of high-performance networks, multicast technology provides a level of interactivity, responsiveness, and control that will transform how programming is delivered to audiences around the world. Multicast services are currently employed both to gather feedback from groups of users as well as to manage the high number of bids often collected in Internet auctions.
BIBS programs have the capacity to provide one or more video streams to accompany an audio stream.
The BMRC browser allows students to quickly scan through archived footage as well. As part of the production process, BIBS ensures that audio streams are automatically synched with the various video streams. This allows viewers to select a specific portion of a video feed in order to access the corresponding part of the audio stream. This capability presents a tremendous opportunity for education students can now revisit specific moments in a lecture in order to clear up their own issues, questions, or concerns. The BMRC will webcast seven classes this fall, including courses on General Chemistry, Digital Signal Processing, and Introductory Astronomy.
