From: Daniel Malcolm <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: RealPix broadcast application coding I am developing a live presentation in SMIL that features a speaker and 15 = slides. I'm using LivePix to synchronise slide changes with the speaker and have = successfully run this on our LAN using the demonstration RealPix Broadcast = application and an ASP script that copies image files to the directory = monitored by the application. = However, there is a bit of a delay with the slide changes and I am looking = into modifying the RealPix Broadcast Application to improve this. On = startup it would stream all the pics (from directory passed as a parameter)= to RealServer and would then be controlled by TCP to change the slides. Having read through the code/docs in the SDK I have the following = questions: 1) One reason for the delay is that the demonstration application only = begins to send the image data to RealServer once an image has been changed.= Documentation of IRMALivePix suggests that it would be possible to use = SendImage() to send all of the images in the presentation to RealServer = ahead of time, then use SendEffect() to control image changes with the = handles returned by IRMALiveRealPixResponse's ImageSent(). Are there any = possible drawbacks to this strategy? 2) It would help to know how RealServer interacts with RealPlayer during a = live image stream. Will it start streaming all of the images to RealPlayer = (at specified bit rate) as soon as it connects to the image stream or = does it send the image data only when SendEffect() is called by broadcast = application? = 3) Are any further versions of the RealPix broadcast application available?= Thanks a lot for any help given.
