  Abstract

Due to the limited resources in thin-client and the large amount of computation for decoding MPEG media, it is not easy to support the QoS stream media to clients. To solve the problems, the terminal servers would be charged for decoding the MPEG media and thin-clients have a role to update only the changed areas in their screen. However, these previous approaches cause severely low video quality. In addition, since servers perform all procedures to decode MPEG media, they are easily saturated even under a small number of clients. In this paper, the sources of the low video quality are investigated in the previous thin-clients´ solutions working in wireless and wired environments. From the detailed experiments, an intelligent media player is proposed to achieve the QoS streams by supporting both the enhanced video quality and the audio synchronized with video frames.
