Grass Valley, CA - AJA's XENA HD card was used in a demonstration of uncompressed 1080i video conferencing between two remote locations 1,700 miles apart during the Internet2 Fall Member Meeting, the company reports.
A XENA HD card was on each end of the system, installed in personal computers running Windows platform for both HD input and output. The ResearchChannel demonstrated the video streaming on a shared OC48 over the Abilene Network during the Meeting on September 30 in Austin, Texas, and connected with participants at the University of Washington (UW) in Seattle, Washington.
This demo was in preparation for SC04 in November, where ResearchChannel will have a dedicated 10Gbps circuit.
