Use Cases for Telepresence Multistreams
Abstract
Telepresence conferencing systems seek to create an environment that
gives users (or user groups) that are not co-located a feeling of co-
located presence through multimedia communication that includes at
least audio and video signals of high fidelity. A number of
techniques for handling audio and video streams are used to create
this experience. When these techniques are not similar,
interoperability between different systems is difficult at best, and
often not possible. Conveying information about the relationships
between multiple streams of media would enable senders and receivers
to make choices to allow telepresence systems to interwork. This
memo describes the most typical and important use cases for sending
multiple streams in a telepresence conference.

RFC 7205 Telepresence Use Cases April 2014
1. Introduction
Telepresence applications try to provide a "being there" experience
for conversational video conferencing. Often, this telepresence
application is described as "immersive telepresence" in order to
distinguish it from traditional video conferencing and from other
forms of remote presence not related to conversational video
conferencing, such as avatars and robots. The salient
characteristics of telepresence are often described as: being actual
sized, providing immersive video, preserving interpersonal
interaction, and allowing non-verbal communication.
Although telepresence systems are based on open standards such as RTP
[RFC3550], SIP [RFC3261], H.264 [ITU.H264], and the H.323 [ITU.H323]
suite of protocols, they cannot easily interoperate with each other
