Technology Achievements & Challenges

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

ECHODamp collaborators

• Created by Brian Shepard, Assistant Professor of Pedagogical Technology, University of Southern California Thornton School of Music

• Internet2 community members helped test to ensure system’s readiness for production. Critical testers included:

• Scott Deal, Professor and Associate Director of Music Research Programs, IUPUI (Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis);

• Ben Fineman, System Administrator, Internet2; • Dan Nichols, Head of Recording Services and Internet2

Multimedia Specialist, NIU (Northern Illinois University); • Justin Trieger, Internet2 Systems Manager, New World

Symphony

DVTS

• 30Mbps

Backstage at GEANT Lauch Event Stockholm, Dec 2009

ConferenceXP (CXP)

• Independent Audio/Video handling• (un)compression, codec, source, output

• Multiple audio/video channels• Network and CPUs Challeging?

• unicast, multicast, from 2Mbps up to ... infinity, CPU overflows

LOLALOw LAtency Audio Visual Streaming System

The Dream......at the GARR Conference 2005, in Pisa...

Masterclass with NWS in Miami

The Reality...November 2010 – two pianists performed Bach duet together from Trietste to

Paris

The LOLA team

Production Conservatorio di musica G. Tartini - Trieste

Implementation Paolo Pachini: general coordination

Carlo Drioli: programming

Nicola Buso: testing and musical advice

Claudio Allocchio (Consortium GARR): testing and networking advice

Massimo Parovel: conception and supervision

Teresa Trevisan and Flavio Zaccaria: ... our “Piano Duo”

LOLA, many challenges, still...

“I do not know what you have done, but I call it a Miracle!” (F. Zaccaria, pianist, after he performed 3 full Bach Brandburg Concerts with his partner T. Trevisan playing more than 100Km away)

“We are in a new unexplored world: how can we adapt interpretation to two different Concert Hall acoustic environment at the same time?” (N. Buso, musician, composer and audio engineer in the LOLA development team)

“We won the CODECs challenge! ... the challenge is for the NRENs now! (how do I tell my colleagues?)”dedicated circuits/lightpaths, jitter<3ms, take down ~1ms per 100Km to the speed of light.

The Workshops – TERENA, Internet2, and NREN hosts
