This demonstration showcases a number of simulated channels from several I2DV stations at major universities throughout the United States.
Channels can broadcast live events, which can be archived, or stored content selected by the viewer.
Internet2 allows for the creation of new communication services that can be designed specifically for precise content tailored to small groups of common communities, focused on education for narrowly defined disciplinary areas, local special events of national interest, national collaborations on common research projects, non-commercial college sports, student news programs, etc. It is possible not only to have a science channel, but a x-ray crystallography channel, an astrophysics channel, a roman history channel, etc. I2 provides for a robust persistent, ubiquitous infrastructure and Quality of Service capabilities to ensure high quality broadcast, with clear images and crisp sound. This demonstration provides for a rigorous test of advanced national multicast capabilities.
