Description

Using CANARIE/CRC's UCLPv2 technology, i2CAT uses LambdaGrids to support HD videoconferencing to promote culture(s). Global live performances are demanding testbeds. On 29 September 2006, ANF sent, in real time, a dance performance by the Korean Nulhui Dance Company from the LG ArtCenter Auditorium in Seoul to CRC in Canada and to the Culture Center in Barcelona using uncompressed HDTV over IP, requiring a 1Gbps (~860 Mbps) network environment.
