LOLA: Low Latency Audio Visual Streaming System
4. Running LOLA
The LOLA user interface (Fig. 4) is intended to be as simple as possible: a remote address to
call (IP address), a “Check” button to make a quick and simple pre-connection test, a “Connect” and
a “Disconnect” button. A “Session name” box allows you to assign a specific name to a setup
configuration for easier identification and you can also “Save” this configuration from the “File
menu”. It is thus possible to recall previously saved setup configurations via the “File menu”
“Open”; as the saved configuration file also includes the remote party IP address, you can use this
feature to create your “LOLA address book”, where each entry also includes personalized setup
parameters for the remote partner. Furthermore, LOLA also remembers the “last session” setup,
thus it will always restart from the last session configuration. See also section 4.2 and Fig. 6.
