    Abstract: In one embodiment, a system includes a video mixer coupled with an audio mixer for exchange of information that includes a first set of delay values respecting input audio streams received by the audio mixer from a plurality of source endpoints, and output audio streams sent from the audio mixer to a plurality of destination endpoints. The information further including a second set of delay values respecting the corresponding input video streams. The audio mixer calculates end-to-end video delays, and the video mixer calculates end-to-end audio delays. The audio mixer delays the output audio streams to equalize the end-to-end audio and video delays in the event that the end-to-end audio delays are less than the end-to-end video delays, and the video mixer delays the output video streams to equalize the end-to-end audio and video delays in the event that the end-to-end video delays are less than the end-to-end audio delays.

    Abstract: A method for volume indication during a communication session includes detecting analog audio at a telephony device. First communication packets are transmitted from the telephony device indicating that the analog audio is being received. The analog audio is encoded to a digital audio stream and second communication packets comprising the digital audio stream are transmitted from the telephony device. In accordance with a particular embodiment, the first communication packets indicate an approximate volume level of the analog audio. The method may also include receiving, at the telephony device, analog video. The analog video is converted to a digital video stream. The digital video stream may be transmitted from the telephony device.

    Abstract: According to an embodiment of the present invention, an apparatus for performing video conferencing is provided that includes an I-frame injector element operable to intercept I-frame requests from one or more end points and to attempt to service the I-frame requests such that at least a portion of the requests are prevented from propagating back to an originating sender. In more specific embodiments, when a receiver endpoint sends a fast video update (FVU) request upstream, it is intercepted by the I-frame injector element and rather than passing the FVU request to the sender the I-frame injector element replaces a next P-frame from the sender with an I-frame, whereby the I-frame is constructed so that when decoded, it matches the P-frame that it replaced. In still more detailed embodiments, the I-frame injector element operates in one of three modes that are associated with bandwidth parameters.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes synchronizing to a common reference timeframe between a sender node and a plurality of receiver nodes connected over a packet-based network. The sender node sends Real-Time Protocol (RTP) frames to the receiver nodes, and also sends a RTP Control Protocol (RTCP) sender report to each receiver node that contains a rendering offset value, each receiver node rendering the RTP frames at a render time equal to a sampling time in units of the common reference timeframe plus the rendering offset value. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract that will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure.
