Abstract :
Developing multimedia audio and video services in LAN or VAN networks, especially group or personal desktop visual conference, audio and video broadcast and multimedia E-mail services, is one of the distinctive characteristics in the initial stage of the multimedia communication development. According to the service requirements of the FDDI campus network and the railway data network we researched into the constructions, combined models, and access performance of the multimedia desktop system (MDS) using personal computers (PCs) as our platforms. In addition, we developed an experimental MDS which can provide access to the network and realize various multimedia services. However, these are our initial work
