University of California, Berkeley, Educational Technology Services Accommodates Overflow Audiences Using Leading-Edge Streaming Media Tech
When Stephen Hawking took to the stage at UC Berkeley's Zellerbach Hall on May 2, 2007, some of the best seats in the house weren't even in the same building. In addition to the standing-room-only crowd, an "overflow" audience for the world-renowned Cambridge University professor was treated to high quality real-time video and audio streaming of his speech at a second remote auditorium on the UCB campus. Reaching the additional audiences was made possible, easily and economically, using new leading-edge video and audio streaming over the IP network. "This 'IPTV' solution was incredibly easy to implement, and it produces video and audio clarity and detail that is just phenomenal," explained Mike Ray of Berkeley's Educational Technology Services, about the XVD Video Compression technology used by the university. "We're able to provide our popular lecture series in real-time to a much larger audience, which is such a tremendous benefit to UCB students, faculty and staff."
