A display system (100) for displaying images from different data streams (1,2) simultaneously is described. Images corresponding to the first data stream (1) are shown to a first observer () in a vehicle and images corresponding to the second data stream (2) are shown to a second observer (108) in the vehicle. The display system (100) comprises: a display screen (102 for generating a first one of the images and a second one of the images; and an optical selection screen (104) for selectively passing the first one of the images in a first direction (101) towards the first observer (106) and passing the second one of the image second direction (103) towards the second observer (108). It is advantageously that the display screen (102) generates images both data streams (1,2).

In a broadcast application on a client-server network the streaming is emulated of animation data over the Internet to a large number of clients. The animation is considered a sequence of states. State information is sent to the clients instead of the graphics data itself. The clients generate the animation data itself under control of the state information. The server and clients communicate using a shared object protocol. Thus, streaming is accomplished as well as a broadcast without running into severe network bandwidth problems.

A speech processing system receives multiple streams of speech frames. The system selects among concurrent ones of the frames a subset of those frames that are the most relevant, based on pre-assigned stream priorities and energy content of the frames. The selected frames are then decoded and rendered. The resulting signals are mixed. This architecture provides bandwidth scalability and/or processing power scalability.

Scalable mixing for speech streaming

Compressed digitally encoded video signals are transmitted over an asynchronous transfer mode network with varying grades of service dependent on bitrate requirements for a desired picture quality and the currently available network capacity. To maximize transmission quality and minimize cost, the grade of service requested from the network is changeable in response to scene changes.
