A prototype of a video communication system based on H.323 family of ITU-T recommendations is used to demonstrate the support of multimedia applications with a terminal server and thin clients such as Windows-based terminals. The studies on the network applications over thin clients are composed of two parts: (1) the collaborative client-server conference system and (2) the universal plug-in architecture. With the proposed architecture, an application of multi-user audio\/video conference system is devised for illustrative purposes. The universal plug-in technique is devised to shift jobs from thin clients to a supporting server, thus reducing the computing overhead required by the clients. The processed result at the supporting server is transcoded to a pre-defined universal format and then sent back to the thin client. This plug-in architecture is implemented and empirically evaluated.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1063293x04046195","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2004,9,1]],"date-time":"2004-09-01T18:38:40Z","timestamp":1094063920000},"page":"175-183","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Multimedia
