• Video conference is a means of Video conference is a means of communication where text ,audio and communication where text ,audio and video are transmitted and received in real-video are transmitted and received in real-timetime
• TheThe projectproject “ “VideoVideo ConferenceConference Over Over Intranet Using RTP” is a software package Intranet Using RTP” is a software package to make a conferencing facility between to make a conferencing facility between two or more computers connected over a two or more computers connected over a Network Network
Aim of the ProjectAim of the Project
This project aims at developing This project aims at developing a software package for making video a software package for making video conference by using java media conference by using java media framework, swings for graphical user framework, swings for graphical user interface applications, jdbc and MS-interface applications, jdbc and MS-Access database for information Access database for information storage.storage.
WHY ANALYSISWHY ANALYSIS There are a variety of softwares There are a variety of softwares
existing for Video conferencing over existing for Video conferencing over Internet, but not so for Intranet. Some Internet, but not so for Intranet. Some product for Intranet exists but not well product for Intranet exists but not well known. Most of the systems do not provide known. Most of the systems do not provide proper authentication. No proper hierarchy proper authentication. No proper hierarchy is maintained.The existing systems are not is maintained.The existing systems are not suitable for official use in an suitable for official use in an Organization.Some existing systems like Organization.Some existing systems like net-meeting can be used only in windows .net-meeting can be used only in windows .

THE JMFTHE JMF JMF is JAVA MEDIA FRAMEWORK . It is JMF is JAVA MEDIA FRAMEWORK . It is
Fundamentally an API for handling audio and Fundamentally an API for handling audio and video. Java Media Framework (JMF) provides a video. Java Media Framework (JMF) provides a unified architecture and messaging protocol for unified architecture and messaging protocol for managing the acquisition, processing, and managing the acquisition, processing, and delivery of time-based media data. JMF is delivery of time-based media data. JMF is designed to support most standard media content designed to support most standard media content types, such as AIFF, AU, AVI, GSM, MIDI, MPEG, types, such as AIFF, AU, AVI, GSM, MIDI, MPEG, QuickTime, RMF, and WAV.QuickTime, RMF, and WAV.
