Abstract: Real time multimedia data is traditionally transmitted via
fixed bandwidth channels in which each device has an assigned bandwidth. With
the arrival of the Internet, most communications are now converted to packet
switching protocols. This is very difficult because of the Internet's Quality
of Service (QoS) problems. Data compression and encryption may further
aggravate the problems. Solutions were found in a new Autosophy television
system originally designed to transmit live movies via the Internet. The new
television delivers the necessary high video compression ratios for movie
transmission via DSL connections. Once video compression was achieved, the
problem then arose of how to combine the compressed video with compressed
synchronized sound in the Internet packet stream. The solution involves a
universal 64bit data format for mixed multimedia communications. The
real time data transmissions are virtually immune against packet latency,
dropped packets, or transmission errors. All Autosophy data compression
algorithms (video, sound, text, still images) are lossless and will not cause
data distortion. The bit rates are dependent on the data "content"
rather than on the data "volume." Virtually unbreakable
"codebook" encryption is provided for all data types by growing
private encryption libraries. The 64bit packets are media independent for
routing via cellular telephone, satellites, radio, or through the Internet,
without having to be re-formatted. This may provide a universal data
communications format.
