Enhanced Interoperability with New Collaborative and Streaming Functions Implemented in Slovak National Telepresence Infrastructure (NTI)

Abstract

This manuscript describes the enhanced functions and interoperability methods developed and implemented during the last year in National Telepresence Infrastructure. National telepresence infrastructure to support research, development and technology transfer in Slovakia (NTI) has been created as a project by Slovak Centre of Scientific and Technical Information to provide pilot services for high-quality video conferencing meetings with high efficiency, as well as the implementation of on-line broadcasts for the broad community and archive services for storing, sharing and distributing knowledge in form of multimedia content. Paper deals with enhanced solution design to increase the abilities of NTI in field of modern live streaming chain to providing secure and seamless broadcast, in field of interoperability of videoconferencing with mobile platforms, in field of improve web-based booking and archiving services or intelligent room controllers. The last section of paper contains usage experience of NTI during 33 month of pilot operations and real use cases of livestreaming and collaborative functions not only from standard conference venues but also for exposed locations such as for example large university sport event.
