Wind River supplied its VxWorks real time operating system for an Internet videophone developed by UK-based Motion Media Technology. The companies said the new IP-based videophone has more processing power than a PC, and will initially support data rates of between 128 kbps and 2 Mbps, extending to 10 Mbps in the future. The processing power reduces the delays normally associated with compressing, transmitting and decompressing video and audio streams. Motion Media claims its device can set-up video calls in only ten seconds, taking less time than making a 384K ISDN call where the typical call set-up time is around 30 seconds. The videophone is compatible with other H.323-based videoconferencing equipment, multi-point conferencing systems and network hardware like gateways and gatekeepers.
