Recent growth in available network bandwidth envisions widespread use of broadband applications such as uncompressed Internet HDTV, a cutting-edge application technology for networked collaboration. In this paper, we introduce a costeffective uncompressed HD visual sharing system and discuss its software architecture in depth. We also illustrate our experiences with the visual sharing system for interactive collaboration. Finally, experimental results will show how well it compensates for packet jitter to gear up media synchronization.
