Presence and adjustable video quality.

::: {.separator style=”clear: both; text-align: center;”} {width=”550”} :::

\ \ Presence - a small vala, gstreamer, clutter and dirac/schroedinger - based bi-directional video tool, is configurable now.\ \ You can actually use it to establish uni- or bi-directional audio/video streams in trusted/local networks. Sometimes this can be handy, as those streams can be set-up to have a much better quality than generic VoIP solutions …\ You can even receive more than one stream.\ \ Currently you can adjust the video size, the compression quality and the framerate to get the optimal balance between performance and capabilities of the underlying hardware.\ A next thing is to tune those parameters automagically - but I’ll need to find out how to detect dropped frames or an increased latency. Additional there should be a way to adjust the latency/buffer on the receiving side, to match the amount of data coming in.\ \ Find it on gitorious.
