Permanent display an be implemented by using other
technology such as MBONE tools in parallel to H.323 terminals.
No simultaneous view of instructor’s video and workspaces’ is
feasible by using H.323 because:•video mixing function is not supported by H.323 MCU•reception and display of multiple video streams is not

Conclusions (1/3)Conclusions (1/3)• Present H.323 products partly fulfil the teleteaching
requirements.• H.323 products should be enhanced.• H.323 MCU:
– stream distribution in multicast (R1,R4,R6)
– disable stream transmission of non participating terminals in processing function(s) in MP@MCU (R4,R6)
– video mixing, transcoding (R8,R9)
– allow video switching of multiple streams (R8,R9)
– enable concurrent video mixing and switching (R8,R9).

Conclusions (2/3)Conclusions (2/3)• H.323 terminals:
– support multicast communication mode (R1,R4, R6)
– be capable of receiving and decoding multiple (at least 2) video streams and displaying them in dual monitor(R8)
– support chair control (only for desktop terminals) (R1,R4,R6)
• Co-operation of H.323 terminals with camera system and microphone system.– Submit and cancel floor requests (R5).
