Mcl.jit library for scalable live video in Max/Msp/Jitter

This paper describes a set of software tools we developed for scalable live video coding and transmission in Max/MSP/Jitter. The tools are available to the users as the mcl.jit object library, which includes several real-time scalable codecs, some with support for Region-Of-Interest (ROI) coding, as well as tools for scalable live video transmission. Some of these tools have been successfully used in live telematic performances. We believe they could be useful in other multimedia networking applications, as well as for research, education, and demonstration purposes.
