UNVedu - Multiport Streaming of Matroska (MKV) Video over IP

Several popular IP-based services today involve entertainment media streaming. We propose (and make available online) Java-based media streaming over IP utilizing the Matroska (MKV) container, which is rapidly gaining popularity within online user communities. Fast and accurate access to individual MKV elements is ensured by a hinting mechanism tailored to the container. The achieved throughput and continuous playback capability has been examined under RTSP/TCP with UDP transmission over Wi-Fi, which is setup via a single port or via multiple ports. The proposed framework enables new, simple, and efficient ways for media traffic differentiation.

UNV - Content Centric Live Video Streaming

We present UNV_v2.0, an open-source video streaming framework for the Linux operating system, based on the video for Linux (v4l2 API) and the FFmpeg library. The purpose of the 2nd version of UNV is low-delay live capturing and streaming over IP, with a choice of codecs and protocols to use. The architecture and main features of the software are presented in the short paper below. Indicative bandwidth utilization, subjective quality assessment and delay results are also given for a video conferencing application and a surveillance application scenario over Wi-Fi and over a campus eduroam network.
