Abstract

Accessing rich multimedia content through terminals and bandwidth-constrained networks is an important issue. Therefore, multimedia servers for delivering such data deserve much attention. A novel real-time streaming system for multimedia is presented, based on real-time operating systems. The VLC streaming server has been improved by employing a modified version of RTLinux that includes DMI and/or EDFI schedulers with the aim to build a complete streaming system for multimedia. Tests have been performed to measure one of the most important aspects of such systems, that is, jittering. The proposed system is able to achieve good performance both in simulated and real-world situations.
