This page provides details of the software produced and/or recommended by the UCL Networked Multimedia Research Group. In the table below, select the tool name to view the appropriate webpage for downloading the application, user guides, installation instructions, source code, email addresses for bug reports etc.

Support

The Mbone conferencing applications archive which appears here was funded by EPSRC, EC and DARPA grants which have now concluded. We are actively seeking renewed funding for this activity, and regret that we cannot guarantee this service at present.

Please read the article on how to report bugs before submitting a bug report.

Multimedia Applications

If you are new to multimedia conferencing, we recommend that you download rat (audio), vic (video), nte (shared text editing) and either wb or wbd (shared whiteboard, wb is preferred if it is available for your system). Conference Sessions can then be accessed either using SDR or from the UCL Secure Conference Store.
