Thematic Session 2
Networked Media: State-of-the-art and IST Call 1
Objectives
Skopje, 15 December 2006
Introduction
Networked Media
Numerous electronic devices are connected to a network, and media
files are accessed from anywhere via the network
Europe is well placed in the worldwide race to develop the
networks and service infrastructures of the future.
Current Situation
Creation
Storage
Adaptation
Consumption
• Centralized content creation in professional
production houses
• Static AV delivery (prescheduled broadcasts)
• “Few to many” mode content delivery
• TV guide the most widespread tool for AV content
search
Technical Challenges (1)
• User centric content creation and consumption
– Each device can be content source
• E.g. home appliances (sensor, IP camera, fridge)
– (Mobile) multiview and content consumption
• Diversity in terms of
– Types (encoding, formatting)
– Quality
• Content adaptation
– Seamless flow of content from one device to another
– E.g. from PC, to STB (Set Top Box), to mobile phone
• Network infrastructure
– Interoperable
infrastructure
for
seamless
multimedia
networking
Technical Challenges (2)
• Content Annotation
– Advanced and standardized metadata
– Indexing, cataloguing
• Content Searching
– Intelligent searching
– E.g. using NLP (Natural Language Processing)
• Invisible technology
– Limited user intervention
Networked Audiovisual Systems
in FP6
Directorate D - Network and Communication Technologies
FP6 project case study: DANAE
• This STREP addresses the dynamic and distributed
adaptation of scalable multimedia content in a contextaware environment, through
– the definition of scalable formats with associated meta-data
– their adaptation to the session context
– the transport and delivery of multimedia content to the enduser
• Key areas include
– MPEG 21 architecture
– MPEG 4 scalable codecs
– Data gathering from physical sensors

FP6 project case study: ESTIA
• The “Enhanced Networked Architecture for Personalised Provision of AV
Content within the Home Environment” STREP aims at:
– Residential gateway for local AV content management in seamless
manner
– Media trans-coding functions to allow content distribution to various
terminals
– Personalised access to AV content and white goods functions
• Key areas include
– Residential gateway
– Personalized services
– Identity management

FP6 project case study: WCAM
• The “Wireless cameras and audio-visual seamless networking” aims to
– Develop a wireless, seamless and secured end-to-end networked
audio-visual system
– Support the convergence between video surveillance and
multimedia distribution over the Internet
– Take into account real time aspects as well as security and
scalability
• Key areas include
– Scalable Video Coding
– Automatic detection of event through scene analysis
– Wireless networking
