Bug Description

Description:
The Berkeley Internet Broadcasting System (BIBS) is an interactive television system constructed using Internet2 Mbone IP-Multicast technology and RealNetworks streaming media technology that is being developed on the UC Berkeley campus to support distance learning, distributed collaboration, and interactive television applications.

The system, operated by the UC Berkeley Multimedia Research Center (BMRC), supports hundreds of simultaneous programs that may include any number of audio, video, and data streams. Program streams may vary in bit rate and quality (e.g., a video stream can vary from 10Kbs to multiple megabits with different image sizes and quality). BIBS, which reaches hundreds of remote viewers around the world, produces live webcasts for large lecture classes on the Berkeley campus and archives them for on-demand replay. See the broadcast schedule for more information. An FAQ is available that answers questions about BIBS, the software used to view programs, the infrastructure on the Berkeley campus, and the technologies usedin the system.

BIBS research also encompasses the development of experimental technologies that include synchronizing audio and video with other media (e.g., slides, white boards), interaction with remote participants (e.g. asking questions during a live lecture) and tools to automatically generate keyword indexes using speech-to-text conversion of a lecture audio track. The goals of these experiments are to improve education for UC Berkeley students and develop strategic models for providing high quality interactive educational experiences both on-site and at a distance.

Questions and comments can be sent to the BIBS mail address (<email address hidden>).

Windows and Mac versions also available.
