Demonstration of low latency HD video transmission at symposium Networked Visualization for e-Science

As a part of Networked Visualization for e-Science symposium live uncompressed HD video transmission was demonstrated. Software UltraGrid was used for streaming live video from The Laboratory of Advanced Networking Technologies to SAGE tiled screen at SARA computer and network center. Both places were interconnected through CzechLight’s, StarLight’s and NehterLight’s high-speed fibre links.

The symposium was organized on the occasion of the visit of prof. Thomas DeFanti to the University of Amsterdam. Prof. DeFanti is well known for his groundbreaking work in computer graphics and visualisation and is one of the inventors of the CAVE.

UltraGrid from The Laboratory of Advanced Networking Technologies (ANTLab) is a software for real-time transmissions of
