Definitions
- the invention relates to data sharing and, more particularly, to sharing of multimedia data over a network.
- Computer technology is increasingly incorporated by musicians and multimedia production specialists to aide in the creative process.
- musicians use computers configured as "sequencers" or "DAWs" (digital audio workstations) to record multimedia source material, such as digital audio, digital video, and Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI) data.
- Sequences and DAWs then create sequence data to enable the user to select and edit various portions of the recorded data to produce a finished product.
- Sequencer software is often used when multiple artists collaborate in a project usually in the form of multitrack recordings of individual instruments gathered together in a recording studio.
- a production specialist then uses the sequencer software to edit the various tracks, both individually and in groups, to produce the final arrangement for the product.
- multiple "takes" of the same portion of music will be recorded, enabling the production specialist to select the best portions of various takes. Additional takes can be made during the session if necessary.
- the Res Rocket system of Rocket Networks, Inc. provides the ability for geographically separated users to share MIDI data over the Internet.
- professional multimedia production specialists commonly use a small number of widely known professional sequencer software packages. Since they have extensive experience in using the interface of a particular software package, they are often unwilling to forego the benefits of such experience to adopt an unfamiliar sequencer. It is therefore desirable to provide a system and method for professional artists and multimedia production specialists to collaborate from geographically separated locations using familiar user interfaces of existing sequencer software.
- the invention includes apparatus for sharing sequence data between a local sequencer station and at least one remote sequencer station over a network via a server, the sequence data representing audiovisual occurrences each having descriptive characteristics and time characteristics.
- the apparatus includes a first interface module receiving commands from a local sequencer station and a data packaging module coupled to the first interface module.
- the data packaging module responds to the received commands by encapsulating sequence data from the local sequencer station into broadcast data units retaining the descriptive characteristics and time relationships of the sequence data.
- the data packaging module also extracts sequence data from broadcast data units received from the server for access by the local sequencer terminal.
- the apparatus further includes a broadcast handler coupled to the first interface module and the data packaging module.
- the broadcast handler processes commands received via the first interface module.
- the apparatus also includes a server communications module responding to commands processed by the broadcast handler by transmitting broadcast data units to the server for distribution to at least one remote sequencer station, the server communications module also receiving data available messages and broadcast data units from the server.
- the apparatus further includes a notification queue handler coupled to the server communications module and responsive to receipt of data available messages and broadcast data units from the server to transmit notifications to the first interface for access by the local sequencer terminal.
- the invention provides a method for sharing sequence data between a local sequencer station and at least one remote sequencer station over a network via a server, the sequence data representing audiovisual occurrences each having descriptive characteristics and time characteristics.
- the method includes receiving commands via a client application component from a user at a local sequencer station; responding to the received commands by encapsulating sequence data from the local sequencer station into broadcast data units retaining the descriptive characteristics and time relationships of the sequence data and transmitting broadcast data units to the server for distribution to at least one remote sequencer station; receiving data available messages from the server; responding to receipt of data available messages from the server to transmit notifications to the client application component; responding to commands received from the client application component to request download of broadcast data units from the server; and receiving broadcast data units from the server and extracting sequence data from the received broadcast data units for access by the client application component.

- Computer applications for musicians and multimedia production specialists are built to allow users to record and edit multimedia data to create a multimedia project.
- Such applications are inherently single-purpose, single-user applications.
- the present invention enables geographically separated persons operating individual sequencers and DAWs to collaborate.
- the basic paradigm of the present invention is that of a "virtual studio.” This, like a real-world studio, is a “place” for people to "meet” and work on multimedia projects together. However, the people that an individual user works with in this virtual studio can be anywhere in the world - connected by a computer network.
- Fig. 1 shows a system 10 consistent with the present invention.
- System 10 includes a server 12, a local sequencer station 14, and a plurality of remote sequencer stations 16, all interconnected via a network 18.
- Network 18 may be the Internet or may be a proprietary network.
- Local and remote sequencer stations 14 and 16 are preferably personal computers, such as Apple PowerMacintoshes or Pentium-based personal computers running a version of the Windows operating system.
- Local and remote sequencer stations 14 and 16 include a client application component 20 preferably comprising a sequencer software package, or "sequencer.”
- sequencers create sequence data representing multimedia data which in turn represents audiovisual occurrences each having descriptive characteristics and time characteristics. Sequencers further enable a user to manipulate and edit the sequence data to generate multimedia products. Examples of appropriate sequencers include Logic Audio from Emagic Inc. of Grass Valley, California; Cubase from Steinberg Soft- und Hardware GmbH of Hamburg, Germany; and ProTools from Digidesign, Inc. of Palo Alto,
- Local sequencer station 14 and remote sequencer stations 16 may be, but are not required to be, identical, and typically include display hardware such as a CRT and sound card (not shown) to provide audio and video output.
- display hardware such as a CRT and sound card (not shown) to provide audio and video output.
- Local sequencer station 14 also includes a connection control component 22 which allows a user at local sequencer station 14 to "log in” to server 12, navigate to a virtual studio, find other collaborators at remote sequencer stations 16, and communicate with those collaborators.
- Each client application component 20 at local and remote sequencer stations 14 and 16 is able to load a project stored in the virtual studio, much as if it were created by the client application component at that station - but with some important differences.
- Client application components 20 typically provide an "arrangement" window on a display screen containing a plurality of "tracks," each displaying a track name, record status, channel assignment, and other similar information. Consistent with the present invention, the arrangement window also displays a new item: user name.
- the user name is the name of the individual that "owns" that particular track, after creating it on his local sequencer station. This novel concept indicates that there is more than one person contributing to the current session in view. Tracks are preferably sorted and color-coded in the arrangement window, according to user.
- Connection control component 22 is also visible on the local user's display screen, providing (among other things) two windows: incoming chat and outgoing chat.
- the local user can see text scrolling by from other users at remote sequencer stations 16, and the local user at local sequencer station 14 is able to type messages to the other users.
- a new track may appear on the local user's screen, and specific musical parts begin to appear in it. If the local user clicks "play" on his display screen, music comes through speakers at the local sequencer station. In other words, while the local user has been working on his tracks, other remote users have been making their own contributions.
- connection control component 22 As the local user works, he "chats” with other users via connection control component 22, and receives remote users' changes to their tracks as they broadcast, or "post,” them. The local user can also share his efforts, by recording new material and making changes. When ready, the local user clicks a "Post” button of client application component 20 on his display screen, and all remote users in the virtual studio can hear what the local user is hearing - live.
- local sequencer station 14 also includes a services component 24 which provides services to enable local sequencer station 14 to share sequence data with remote sequencer stations 16 over network 18 via server 12, including server communications and local data management. This sharing is accomplished by encapsulating units of sequence data into broadcast data units for transmission to server 12.
- server 12 is shown and discussed herein as a single server, those skilled in the art will recognize that the server functions described may be performed by one or more individual servers. For example, it may be desirable in certain applications to provide one server responsible for management of broadcast data units and a separate server responsible for other server functions, such as permissions management and chat administration.
- Fig. 2 shows the subsystems of services component 24, including first interface module 26, a data packaging module 28, a broadcast handler 30, a server communications module 32, and a notification queue handler 34.
- Services component 24 also includes a rendering module 36 and a caching module 38.
- first interface module 26 is accessible to software of client application component 20.
- First interface module 26 receives commands from.client application component 20 of local sequencer station 14 and passes them to broadcast handler 30 and to data packaging module 28.
- Data packaging module 28 responds to the received commands by encapsulating sequence data from local sequencer station 14 into broadcast data units retaining the descriptive characteristics and time relationships of the sequence data.
- Data packaging module 28 also extracts sequence data from broadcast data units received from server 12 for access by client application component 20.
- Server communications module 32 responds to commands processed by the broadcast handler by transmitting broadcast data units to server 12 for distribution to at least one remote sequencer station 16. Server communications module 32 also responds to commands processed by the broadcast handler by transmitting broadcast data units to server 12 for distribution to at least one remote sequencer station 16. Server communications module 32 also responds to commands processed by the broadcast handler by transmitting broadcast data units to server 12 for distribution to at least one remote sequencer station 16. Server communications module 32 also responds to commands processed by the broadcast handler by transmitting broadcast data units to server 12 for distribution to at least one remote sequencer station 16. Server communications module 32 also responds to commands processed by the broadcast handler by transmitting broadcast data units to server 12 for distribution to at least one remote sequencer station 16. Server communications module 32 also responds to commands processed by the broadcast handler by transmitting broadcast data units to server 12 for distribution to at least one remote sequencer station 16. Server communications module 32 also responds to commands processed by the broadcast handler by transmitting broadcast data units to server 12 for distribution to at least one remote sequencer station 16. Server communications module 32 also responds to commands processed
- server communications module receives data available messages from server 12 and broadcast data units via server 12 from one or more remote sequencer stations 16 and passes the received broadcast data units to data packaging module 28.
- server communications module receives data available messages from server 12 that a broadcast data unit (from remote sequencer stations 16) is available at the server. If the available broadcast data unit is of a non-media type, discussed in detail below, server communications module requests that the broadcast data unit be downloaded from server 12. If the available broadcast data unit is of a media type, server communications module requests that the broadcast data unit be downloaded from server 12 only after receipt of a download command from client application component 20.
- Notification queue handler 34 is coupled to server communications module 32 and responds to receipt of data available messages from server 12 by transmitting notifications to first interface module 26 for access by client application component 20 of local sequencer terminal 14.
- a user at, for example, local sequencer station 14 will begin a project by recording multimedia data.
- multimedia data This may be accomplished through use of a microphone and video camera to record audio and/or visual performances in the form of source digital audio data and source digital audio data stored on mass memory of local sequencer station 14.
- source data may be recorded by playing a MIDI instrument coupled to local sequencer station 14 and storing the performance in the form of MIDI data.
- Other types of multimedia data may be recorded.
- client application component 20 typically a sequencer program.
- Client application component 20 thus represents this arrangement in the form of sequence data which retains the time characteristics and descriptive characteristics of the recorded source data.
- connection control component 22 When the user desires to collaborate with other users at remote sequencer stations 16, he accesses connection control component 22.
- the user provides commands to connection control component 22 to execute a log-in procedure in which connection control component 22 establishes a connection via services component 24 through the Internet 18 to server 12.
- connection control component 22 Using well known techniques of log-in registration via passwords, the user can either log in to an existing virtual studio on server 12 or establish a new virtual studio.
- Virtual studios on server 12 contain broadcast data units generated by sequencer stations in the form of projects containing arrangements, as set forth in detail below.
- the method provides sharing of sequence data between local sequencer station 14 and at least one remote sequencer station 16 over network 18 via server 12.
- the sequence data represents audiovisual occurrences each having a descriptive characteristics and time characteristics.
- a method consistent with the present invention includes receiving commands at services component 24 via client application component 20 from a user at local sequencer station 14.
- Broadcast handler 30 of service component 24 responds to the received commands by encapsulating sequence data from local sequencer station 14 into broadcast data units retaining the descriptive characteristics and time relationships of the sequence data.
- Broadcast handler 30 processes received commands by transmitting broadcast data units to server 12 via server communications module 32 for distribution to remote sequencer stations 16.
- Server communication module 32 receives data available messages from server 12 and transmits notifications to the client application component 20.
- Server communication module 32 responds to commands received from client application component 20 to request download of broadcast data units from the server 12.
- Server communication module 32 receives broadcast data units via the server from the at least one remote sequencer station.
- Data packaging module 28 then extracts sequence data from broadcast data units received from server 12 for access by client application component 20.
- services component 24 uses an object-oriented data model managed and manipulated by data packaging module 28 to represent the broadcast data.
- broadcast data units in the form of objects created by services component 24 from sequence data
- users can define a hierarchy and map interdependencies of sequence data in the project.
- Fig. 3 shows the high level containment hierarchy for objects constituting broadcast data units in the preferred embodiment.
- Each broadcast object provides a set of interfaces to manipulate the object's attributes and perform operations on the object. Copies of all broadcast objects are held by services component 24.
- Broadcast objects are created in one of two ways:
- Client application component 20 creates broadcast objects locally by calling Create methods (set forth in detail in the Appendix) on other objects in the hierarchy.
- Services component 24 uses a notification system of notification queue handler 34 to communicate with client application component 20. Notifications allow services component 24 to tell the client application about changes in the states of broadcast objects.
- Client application 20 is often in a state in which the data it is using should not be changed. For example, if a sequencer application is in the middle of playing back a sequence of data from a file, it may be important that it finish playback before the data is changed. In order to ensure that this does not happen, notification queue handler 34 of services component 24 only sends notifications in response to a request by client application component 20, allowing client application component 20 to handle the notification when it is safe or convenient to do so.
- Project At the top of the broadcast object model of data packaging module 28 is Project, Fig. 3.
- a Project object is the root of the broadcast object model and provides the primary context for collaboration, containing all objects that must be globally accessed from within the project.
- the Project object can be thought of as containing sets or "pools" of objects that act as compositional elements within the project object.
- the Arrangement object is the highest level compositional element in the Object Model.
- an Arrangement object is a collection of Track objects. This grouping of track objects serves two purposes:
- Track objects are the highest level containers for Event objects, setting their time context. All Event objects in a Track object start at a time relative to the beginning of a track object. Track objects are also the most commonly used units of ownership in a collaborative setting.
- Data packaging module 28 thus encapsulates the sequence data into broadcast data units, or objects, including an arrangement object establishing a time reference, and at least one track object having a track time reference corresponding to the arrangement time reference. Each Track object has at least one associated event object representing an audiovisual occurrence at a specified time with respect to the associated track time reference.
- the sequence data produced by client application component 20 of local sequencer station 14 includes multimedia data source data units derived from recorded data. Typically this recorded data will be MIDI data, digital audio data, or digital video data, though any type of data can be recorded and stored.
- These multimedia data source data units used in the Project are represented by a type of broadcast data units known as Asset objects.
- an Asset object has an associated set of Rendering objects. Asset objects use these Rendering objects to represent different "views" of a particular piece of media, thus Asset and Rendering objects are designated as media broadcast data units. All broadcast data units other than Asset and
- Rendering objects are of a type designated as non-media broadcast data units.
- Each Asset object has a special Rendering object that represents the original source recording of the data. Because digital media data is often very large, this original source data may never be distributed across the network. Instead, compressed versions of the data will be sent. These compressed versions are represented as alternate Rendering objects of the Asset object.
- Asset objects provide a means of managing various versions of source data, grouping them as a common compositional element.
- Data packaging module 28 thus encapsulates the multimedia source objects into at least one type of asset rendering broadcast object, each asset rendering object type specifying a version of multimedia data source data exhibiting a different degree of data compression.
- the sequence data units produced by client application component 20 of local sequencer station 14 include clip data units each representing a specified portion of a multimedia data source data unit.
- Data packaging module 28 encapsulates these sequence data units as Clip objects, which are used to reference a section of an Asset object, as shown in Fig. 7.
- the primary purpose of the Clip object is to define the portions of the Asset object that are compositionally relevant.
- an Asset object representing a drum part could be twenty bars long.
- a Clip object could be used to reference four-bar sections of the original recording. These Clip objects could then be used as loops or to rearrange the drum part.
- Clip objects are incorporated into arrangement objects using Clip Event objects.
- a Clip Event object is a type of event object that is used to reference a Clip object. That is, data packaging module 28 encapsulates sequence data units into broadcast data units known as Clip Event objects each representing a specified portion of a multimedia data source data unit beginning at a specified time with respect to an associated track time reference.
- compositions are often built by reusing common elements. These elements typically relate to an Asset object, but do not use the entire recorded data of the Asset object. Thus, it is Clip objects that identify the portions of Asset objects that are actually of interest within the composition.
- a drum part could be arranged via a collection of tracks in which each track represents an individual drum (i.e., snare, bass drum, and cymbal).
- a composer may build up a drum part using these individual drum tracks, he thinks of the whole drum part as a single compositional element and will-after he is done editing-manipulate the complete drum arrangement as a single part.
- Many client application components create folders for these tracks, a nested part that can then be edited and arranged as a single unit.
- the broadcast object hierarchy of data packaging module 28 has a special kind of Event object called a Scope Event object, Fig. 9.
- a Scope Event object is a type of Event object that contains one or more Timeline objects. These Timeline objects in turn contain further events, providing a nesting mechanism. Scope Event objects are thus very similar to Arrangement objects: the Scope Event object sets the start time (the time context) for all of the Timeline objects it contains.
- Timeline objects are very similar to Track objects, so that Event objects that these Timeline objects contain are all relative to the start time of the Scope Event object.
- data packaging module 28 encapsulates sequence data units into Scope Event data objects each having a Scope Event time reference established at a specific time with respect to an associated track time reference.
- Each Scope Event object includes at least one Timeline Event object, each Timeline Event object having a Timeline Event time reference established at a specific time with respect to the associated scope event time reference and including at least one Event object representing an audiovisual occurrence at a specified time with respect to the associated timeline event time reference.
- a Project object contains zero or more Custom Objects, Fig. 10.
- Custom Objects provide a mechanism for containing any generic data that client application component 20 might want to use.
- Custom Objects are managed by the Project object and can be referenced any number of times by other broadcast objects.
- the broadcast object model implemented by data packaging module 28 contains two special objects: rocket object and extendable. All broadcast objects derive from these classes, as shown in Fig. 11.
- Rocket object contains methods and attributes that are common to all objects in the hierarchy. (For example, all objects in the hierarchy have a Name attribute.)
- Extendable objects are objects that can be extended by client application component 20. As shown in Fig.11 , these objects constitute standard broadcast data units which express the hierarchy of sequence data, including Project, Arrangement, Track, Event, Timeline, Asset, and Rendering objects. The extendable nature of these standard broadcast data units allows 3 rd party developers to create specialized types of broadcast data units for their own use.
- client application component 20 could allow data packaging module 28 to implement a specialized object called a MixTrack object, which includes all attributes of a standard Track object and also includes additional attributes.
- Client application component 20 establishes the MixTrack object by extending the Track object via the Track class.
- Connection control component 22 offers the user access to communication and navigation services within the virtual studio environment. Specifically, connection control component 22 responds to commands received from the user at local sequencer station 14 to establish access via 12 server to a predetermined subset of broadcast data units stored on server 12. Connection control component 22 contains these major modules:
- a pass-through interface to an external web browser providing access to the resource server 12.
- the log-in dialog permits the user to either create a new account at server 12 or log-in to various virtual studios maintained on server 12 by entering a previously registered user name and password.
- Connection control component 22 connects the user to server 12 and establishes a web browser connection.
- the user can search through available virtual studios on server 12, specify a studio to "enter,” and exchange chat messages with other users from remote sequence stations 16 through a chat window.
- connection control component 22 passes commands to services component 24 which exchanges messages with server 12 via server communication module 32.
- chat messages are implemented via a Multi User Domain, Object Oriented (MOO) protocol.
- MOO Multi User Domain, Object Oriented
- Server communication module 32 receives data from other modules of services component 24 for transmission to server 12 and also receives data from server 12 for processing by client application component 20 and connection control component 22. This communication is in the form of messages to support transactions, that is, batches of messages sent to and from server 12 to achieve a specific function.
- the functions performed by server communication module 32 include downloading a single object, downloading an object and its children, downloading media data, uploading broadcasted data unit to server 12, logging in to server 12 to select a studio, logging in to server 12 to access data, and locating a studio.

- Client application component 20 gains access to services component 24 through a set of interface classes defining first interface module 26 and contained in a class library.
- these classes are implemented in straightforward, cross-platform C++ and require no special knowledge of COM or other inter-process communications technology.
- a sequencer manufacturer integrates a client application component 20 to services component 24 by linking the class library to source code of client application component 20 in a well-known manner, using for example, visual C++ for Windows application or Metroworks Codewarrier (Pro Release 4) for Macintosh applications. Exception handling is enabled by:
- crktservices To client application component 24, the most fundamental class in the first interface module 26 is crktservices. It provides methods for performing the following functions:
- ClaSS CMyR tServices public Crktservices ( public :
- An application connects to Services component 24 by creating an instance of its
- Client application component 20 disconnects from Services component 24 by
- first interface module 26 It is through these CRkt interface
- Broadcast objects are created in one of two ways:
- Client application component creates broadcast objects by calling the
- Client application component calls createRktmterfaceoto get an interface to
- Client application component calls CRktSer ices : broadcast o to update the
- Broadcast objects have created methods for every type of object they contain.
- CR tSer ices has methods for creating a Project. The following code
- client application component 20 calls the create-rrac o method
- Each parent broadcast object has method(s) to create its specific types of child broadcast objects.
- Broadcasting is preferrably triggered from the user interface of client application component 20. (When the user hits a "Broadcast” button, for instance). Because services component 24 keeps track of and manages all changed broadcast objects, client application component 20 can take advantage of the data management of services component 24 while allowing users to choose when to share their contributions and changes with other users connected to the Project.
- Client application component 20 can get CR t interface objects at any time. The
- Client application component 20 accesses a broadcast object as follows: // Get an interface to the new project and // set name.
- CMyRktServices : Instanced ->CreateRktProjectInterface (Project) ; MyProject->SetName ( szProjName) ;
- the cRk pt ⁇ > template class is used to declare auto-pointer objects. This is
- client application component 20 calls the access methods defined for the attribute on the corresponding CRkt interface class:
- Each broadcast object has an associated Editor that is the only user allowed to make modifications to that object.
- the user that creates the object will become the Editor by default.
- client application component 20 is responsible for deleting the interface object: delete pTrack;
- Interface objects are "reference-counted.”
- the code for properly removing an object from the data model is:
- Broadcast objects are not sent and committed to Server 12 until the CR tServices: : Broadcast o interface method is called. This allows users to make changes
- the broadcast process is an asynchronous operation. This allows client application component 20 to proceed even as data is being uploaded.
- services component 24 does not allow any objects to be modified while a broadcast is in progress.
- an onBroadcastcompiete notification will be sent to the client application.
- Roiibacko is a synchronous method.
- Client application component 20 can cancel an in-progress broadcast by calling cr tservices : :canceiBroadcast d . This process reverts all objects to the state they are in on
- canceiBro dcasto is a synchronous method.
- Notifications are the primary mechanism that services component 24 uses to communicate with client application component 20.
- a broadcast data unit is broadcast to server 12, it is added to the Project Database on server 12 and a data available message is rebroadcast to all other sequencer stations connected to the project.
- Services component 24 of the other sequencer stations generate a notification for their associated client application component 20.
- the other sequencer stations also immediately request download of the available broadcast data units; for media broadcast data units, a command from the associated client application component 20 must be received before a request for download of the available broadcast data units is generated.
- services component 24 Upon receipt of a new broadcast data unit, services component 24 generates a notification for client application component 20. For example, if an Asset object were received, the oncreateAssetcompiete o notification would be generated.
- client application component 20 overrides the corresponding virtual function in its CRk Services class.
- class CMyRktServices public CRktServices ( // Overriding to handle OnCreateAssetComplete Notifications virtual void OnCreateAssetComplete ( const RktOb]ectIdType& rObjectld, const RktObjectldTypeS rParentObjectld ; ⁇ ,
- Sequencers are often in states in which the data they are using should not be changed. For example, if client application component 20 is in the middle of playing back a sequence of data from a file, it may be important that it finish playback before the data is changed. In order to ensure data integrity, all notification transmissions are requested client application component 20, allowing it to handle the notification from within its own thread. When a notification is available, a message is sent to client application component 20.
- this notification comes in the form of a Window Message.
- the callback window and notification message must be set. This is done using the CRktServices : : SetDataNotif icationHandler ( ) method:
- Client application component 20 would then call CRktServices : : ProcessNextDataNotication ( ) to instruct services component
- ProcessNextDataNotif ication 0 causes services component 24 to remove the
- client application component 20 places a call tO Crktservices: :
- notification queue handler of services component 24 uses a "smart queue” system to process pending notifications. The purpose of this is two-fold: 1. To remove redundant messages.
- the system of Fig.1 provides the capability to select whether or not to send
- client application component 20 wanted to be sure to never
- CMyRktServices :: OnCreateProjectStart ( const RktObjectldTypeS rObjectld, const RktObjectldTypeS rParentObjectld )
- notification parse the objects contained by the track: void
- CMyRktServices :OnCr ⁇ ateProjectC omplete ( const RktObjectldTypeS object d, const RktObjectldTypeS parentobjectld )
- predefined broadcast objects are used wherever
- the described system provides two primary methods for creating custom and
- client application component 20 has an object which is a variation
- client application component 20 has a type of Track which holds Mix information, it can
- the first step in extending a broadcast object is to define a globally unique
- This ID is used to mark the data type of the object. It allows services component 20 to
- client application component 20 sets the data
- Client application component 20 simply requests the attribute
- Custom Objects are used to create proprietary objects which do not directly map
- Custom Data Object is a broadcast object which holds arbitrary binary data. Custom Data Objects
- Services component 24 does provide all of
- the first step to creating a new type of Custom Data is to create a unique ID that
- This ID must be guaranteed to be unique, as this ID is used to determine the type of
- crktproject :createcustomobject o can be called to create a new custom object, set the data
- client application component 20 When client application component 20 receives the notification for the object, it is
- I 32Typ ⁇ nSize ⁇ sizeof ( myCustomData ) ; pCustomObject->GetData( SmyCustomData, nSize );
- the data will be downloaded automatically.
- This recorded media is represented by an Asset object
- An Asset object is
- Asset data is often very large and it is highly desirable for users to broadcast
- Asset objects provide a mechanism for tracking each version of the data
- Each Asset object has a list of one or more Rendering objects, as shown in
- the data for each rendering object is only broadcast to server 12 when specified
- rendering object data is only downloaded
- Each rendering object thus acts as a placeholder for all potential versions of an
- Asset object that the user can get describing all attributes of the rendered data.
- Rendering Objects act as File Locator Objects in the broadcast object model.
- Assets are abstract elements; it is Rendering Objects that actually hold the
- Renderings have two methods for storing data:
- RAM or disk is largely based on the size and type of the data being
- MIDI data is RAM-based
- audio data is file-based.
- cache module 36 Because Rendering objects are sent from server 12 on a request-
- services component 24 can check whether the Rendering object is stored
- Asset Renderings objects are limited to three
- Source Specifies the original source recording—. Literally represents a bit-
- Standard Specifies the standard rendering of the file to use, generally a
- Preview Specifies the rendering that should be downloaded in order to get a
- preview of the media generally a highly compressed version of the original source data.
- type of Rendering object selected will be based on the type of data contained by the
- the sender creates a new Asset object, sets its data, and broadcasts it to
- Step 1 Create an Asset Object
- the first step for client application component 20 is to create an Asset object.
- Step 2 Set the Asset Data and Data Kind
- the next step is to set the data and data kind for the object.
- the data and data kind for the object In this case,
- the setsourceMedia o call is used to set the data on the Source rendering.
- Step 3 Set the Asset Flags
- the third step is to set the flags for the Asset. These flags specify which
- Step 4 Broadcast
- the last step is to broadcast. This is done as normal, in response to a command
- client application component 20 of local sequence station To receive an Asset, client application component 20 of local sequence station
- Client application component 20 creates an interface to the
- CMyRktServices : On ⁇ ssetMediaAvailable ( const RktObjectldTypeS rAssetld, const RendClassType classification, const RktObjectldTypeS rRenderingld ⁇ try
- an audio data Asset is created.
- component 20 sets the audio data and a compressed preview rendering is generated
- the sender follows many of the steps in the simple MIDI case above. This time,
- CRktServices : Instance ( ) ->CreateRktAssetInterface ( assetld ) ; // Set the data kind pAsset->SetDataKmd( DATAKIND_ROCKET_AUDIO );
- the preview could be generated by calling
- CRktAsset CompressMedia ( ) explicitly:
- ASSET_BROADCAST_SOURCE was not set. This means that the
- Source Rendering has not been tagged for upload and will not be uploaded to server 12.
- the source rendering could be added to uploaded later by calling: pAsset->SetBroadcastFlags
- notification queue handler 28 When an Asset is created and broadcast by a remote sequencer station 16, notification queue handler 28 generates an OnCreateAssetComplete () notification. Client application component then queries for the Asset object, generally via a lookup
- the CRktAsset : DownloadMedia ( ) specifies the classification of the
- CMyRocketServices ( const RktObjectldTypeS rAssetld, 25 const RendClassType classification, const RktObjectldTypeS rRenderingld f try
- CMyRktServices :OnAssetMed ⁇ aDecompressed ( const RktObjectldTypeS rAssetld, const RendClassType classification, const RktObjectldTypeS rRenderingld ) (
- Services component 24 keeps track of what files it has written to disk client
- application component 20 can then check these files to determine what files need to be
- Services component 24 uses Data Locator files to track and cache data for
- Each data locator file is identified by the ID of the rendering it
- client application component 20 can use whatever file organization scheme
- Each project object has a corresponding folder in the cache directory.
- Locators the directories are named with the ID of the project they correspond to.
- Locator objects are stored within the folder of the project that contains them.
- the current rendering file For example, a user may work for a while with the preview
- CRkt-Asset provides a method for clearing this
- This call both clears the rendering file from the cache and deletes the file from disk or
