Workshops main Topics • Technology: • DVTS, CXP, LOLA, EchoDamp, Network basics, Monitoring, Lighting, Audio and Video codecs, ... • Case Studies and examples: • Masterclasses, Laboratories, Ongoing projects and activities • Social Networking: • discussions about arts and technology use, new collaborations

  9. Technology Achievemnts & Challenges Some “effects” of workshops gatherings and other activities in A&H…

  10. ECHODamp • A multi-channel audio mixer and echo controller for high-bandwidth musical videoteleconferencing • Uses a dynamics-based algorithm rather than a frequency-based one (like Acoustic Echo Cancellation) to preserve the full frequency range of the audio signal • Intuitive and easy-to-use controls work with any 4X4 (or larger) audio interface that supports CoreAudio on the Macintosh or MME, DirectSound, or ASIO on the Windows platform • Available free to non-profit educational and performing arts institutions at http://echodamp.com

  11. DVTS and DVTSplus • A reliable 30Mbps link, then plug, play, enjoy… Backstage at GEANT Lauch Event Stockholm, Dec 2009

  12. ConferenceXP (CXP) • Indipendent Audio/Video handling • (un)compression, codec, source, output • Multiple audio/video channels, now also HD! • Network and CPUs Challeging? • unicast, multicast, from 2Mbps up to ... infinity, CPU overflows Courtersy by Justin Hourigan (HEAnet)

  13. 4K, 3D, 8K and beyond... • CESnet 4K Ultragrid • http://www.cesnet.cz/doc/techzpravy/2010/4k-packet-format/ • Essex University Networked Media Lab • http://hpn.essex.ac.uk/facilities/netmediafacilities.php?mn=fa • Internet2 and other initiatives • http://www.garr.it/eventiGARR/papws/doc/fineman1_0709_papws.pdf

  14. LOLA – LOw LAtency A/V system • 1 GigaEthernet end-to-end circuit • runs also on IP • 92Mbps to 460Mbps, Jitter<4ms • audio 44K 24bit stereo • --> multichannel with CCRMA Stanford University • 60 frames per second b/w or color, 680*480 • 20ms audio/video codec roundtrip latency • ~1ms GE network latency per 100Km • how far away can we go? 1200km  2700km • it runs on “routed” networks!
