"Notes on Video On Demand Networks"
and
"MPEG Audio Servers"

Sam Drake
Imake

"Notes on Video On Demand Networks." The author has worked on a number of real-world VOD and digital interactive video network projects including the Bell Atlantic Stargazer (tm) system. A quick technical survey of several systems is presented.

"MPEG Audio Servers." While much attention has focused on video server design, an interesting related field is audio servers. While acceptance of MPEG video in commercial applications is slow, MPEG audio is increasingly being used over ISDN transport as a low cost high quality distribution mechanism for broadcast quality audio. The presenter will discuss the MPEG Audio market, applications, and the IMAKE ISDN Media Server.
