SAT's Scenic telepresence system...

[Olivier Gauthier]

Hi,

I remembered that I saw a couple months ago a project that walks the
same road as Freeseer.

Quoted from their wiki :

> Scenic is an on stage telepresence system that allows for real time
> transmission of audiovisual data over any IP network. Telepresence

> another city, and this in real time.

I believe that they have some local recording support, but most of their
work is focused on real-time (lowest latency possible) telepresence
streaming. It's in use in many locations throughout the world.

I don't know much more other than I think they use GTK toolkit for the
frontend and GStreamer on the backend.



Cheers,

Olivier
