The bigvideo group: 

The bigvideo group Bob Riddle – Technologist October 2005

Who are we?: 

Who are we? Internet2/ResearchChannel Working Group The Internet2/ResearchChannel Working Group provides a testbed for the exploration of high-quality demand and streaming video applications across Internet2 backbones and associated campus networks. BigVideo Project A subcommittee of the Internet2-ResearchChannel Working Group interested in using affordable and widely available cameras, PC’s, software, and hardware. Began testing DV as an affordable bandwidth option between typical streaming products and the atypical High Definition Television capabilities.

DVTS Projects: 

DVTS Projects DVTS The DVGuide Comet PMC 3D DVTS KNOPPIX / Mac-mini AG integration HDV ConferenceXP Handhelds

DVTS current Status: 

DVTS current Status software - WIDE DVTS updates, new features, new platforms Mac-mini DVTS “appliance” DVGuide, DVTuner, IPV6 multicast Demo Stereoscopic DVTS - 10:30 High-End Video hardware - Fujitsu Comet PCI cards - for your Intel box Comet PMC box DVTS support provided HDV test between Ann Arbor & Japan

Digital Video Transport System: 

Digital Video Transport System It looks something like this

Who is using this?: 

Who is using this? Musicians – master classes Campus TV – multicast to dorms Video conferencing – high quality, low latency USHS – medical instruction UPENN – collaboration of pathologists ICU – St. Francis work

What is the “DVGuide”?: 

What is the “DVGuide”? Imagine that … you could tune your computer into a series of “educational” channels the same way you tune your television into satellite channels you could send & receive DV quality video across the internet with the same ease as sending & receiving email you could expand the borders of the campus, reaching alumni, colleagues, students, and potential students through an institutional television channel you could do all this without any significant capital expenditure by taking advantage of resources that currently exist on your campus

The DVGuide looks a lot like this::

DVGuide: Research & Visibility: 

DVGuide: Research & Visibility Network Researchers What happens when # of multicast flows grows? What happens when multicast flows > 1 gbps? How do you deploy such flows using SSM? How do you “help” multicast-challenged users? Universities – an opportunity to: to increase visibility (campus radio/TV) to connect with remote alumni, faculty, students to expand the borders of your campus to provide DV quality content AV at almost zero cost

How do I get a DVGuide channel?: 

How do I get a DVGuide channel? Multicast network capability is required this is not “traditional webcasting” Internet2 “network” capability is required DV requires 30 mbps per stream MPEG2 requires 4-15 mbps per stream Compressed HDTV requires 20 - 270 mbps Uncompressed HDTV requires 1 – 1.5 gbps Advanced Applications are required DV – DVTS, Fujitsu Comet PMC, etc. MPEG2 – VLC, VBrick, etc. HDTV – still in the “roll your own” stage

Why do I need multicast?: 

Why do I need multicast? Why can’t I use something like Real? Do the math – 30 mbps of DV traffic i.e. Victoria Secrets webcast More than 1 million web hits during 1st hour 283% increase in web traffic during event Unicast delivery doesn’t cheaply scale! think of multicast as “Broadcast TV” If you have a “tuner” and your “antenna” is pointed in the right direction, just tune in the “channel” If you’re on a Internet2 backbone, you’re ready! (well, almost ready …)

Mac-mini DVTS Appliane: 

Mac-mini DVTS Appliane is a $500 DVTS appliance possible? Mac-mini - limit to a single firewire port No muss, no fuss No monitor, keyboard, mouse required Configure, plug it in, then phone-home Web browser used for control example
