about Live Performance workshop

[Peter Szegedi <szegedi@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear colleague,

You may recall I sent you a message a few weeks ago, asking for your
help in contacting relevant campus people with information about a
forthcoming Live Performance Workshop being organised by TERENA, GARR
and Internet2.

The campus people who are most relevant are those who usually deal with
technical aspects of videoconferencing or are interested in netcasting,
or who produce performing arts events, conduct masterclasses etc.

I would really appreciate it if you could help again by passing on the
message below to those same people you contacted before: this is a
reminder but it it also contains new information about the deadline for
registration. If you could forward just that part of this message to
your relevant contacts (and let me know), that would be great.

Many thanks for your kind consideration again.

Best regards,
Peter

PERFORMING ARTS PRODUCTION WORKSHOP: REGISTRATION DEADLINE APPROACHING

Registration for the first TERENA and Internet2 hands-on audio/video
production workshop is open until 8 July 2009. Potential participants
are cordially requested to register as soon as possible via
http://www.garr.it/papws.

The workshop will be held on 13-15 July 2009, hosted by GARR in
cooperation with the Music Conservatory of Trieste, in Italy. The event
will emphasise the equipment and staffing requirements for interactive
performing arts education, multi-site performance events and high
quality netcasting. It is meant to be the first in a series of annual
workshops on this topic.

The July workshop targets people in the research and education community
who produce performing arts events (academies or colleges of music,
dance, arts etc.) and want to explore the possibilities and challenges
of using advanced Internet and related services in their teaching,
rehearsals and performances.

People involved in audio/video production in other domains can also
greatly benefit from the workshop presentations and practical hands-on
sessions with the leading edge advanced applications and services that
research and education networking organisations can offer.
Main topics:

• Digital Video Transport System (DVTS and HDVTS),
• Traditional and enhanced H.323 and SIP videoconferencing,
• Conference XP,
• Full audio and echo control computerised management,
• Lighting and video camera optimisation,
• Real-time monitoring of network performance and problem solving.

Workshop highlights will include the first presentation of a fully
integrated, computerised audio and echo control system, and of LOLA – a
low latency audio/video system experiment on high-bandwidth networks.

The workshop topics will be oriented towards particpants’ needs, in
order to maximise the benefit to users with a non-technical background.
