Abstract

We describe the configuration of distributed multimedia applications using the CINEMA system. Components, interconnected by links via ports are used to handle multimedia data. Configuration management controls these interconnections, establishes components in threads on different systems and allows an interactive control of data handling functions. We present an object-oriented interface, that is able to handle different types of components. To demonstrate the flexibility of this approach we explain a generic application of the CINEMA system to do an interactive configuration of applications using a graphical interface
