SCALNET
The 5th October was the final review of the CELTIC SCALNET project where I was involved in the design and development.
The focus of SCALNET was the study of impact and modifications needed in the core and user network to integrate the H.264/SVC technology. It also studied the control interface between networks and video processing equipments.
Personally it gave me the possibility to stay for a few months in Klagenfurt University spending a very nice and useful time.
We (University of Murcia) were working in the SVC MP4 encapsultation, transmission and adaptation. As a result we produced some software components able to work with SVC and integrates other components from the SCALNET architecture.
- Modified MP4Creator
- Modified Darwin Streaming Server
- A Media Aware Network Element (MANE) based on an RTSP Proxy
- A DirectShow based client using JSVM Reference software, opensvcDecoder and MainConcept decoder.
Now that SCALNET has finished we have to think about our approaching objectives which will off course include SVC






Hi,
Im currently working in a project for my phD at ISCTE (lisbon university). Where a need to do a SVC multi session transmission, and i believe I will be needing a modified MP4Creator to build a MP4 files container with the SVC layers in separate tracks.
Have you manage to do that in your modified MP4creator and are you willing to share your MP4creator exe/code or some advices
Best regards and thanks
Hi Joao,
we will be very pleased in collaborate with you in your work. We have a modified mp4creator which produces extractor and hint tracks for the SVC extension. We also have a modified Darwin Streaming Server able to use those mp4 files to stream them over the network. If you wish I can contact you directly at your email (just tell me if you agree) and we can have a longer chat about what you need and what we have
Best Regards
Of course i agree, any colaboration will be very apreciate
thks
best regards
