Information about the Technology
The videoconference featuring Thomas Hampson on January 23, 2018 used a cutting-edge high-speed technology called UltraGrid.
Developed by the Laboratory of Advanced Networking Technologies (SITOLA) in the Czech Republic, coupled with Internet2—the nation’s research and education network—this technology provides musicians in different locations an optimal platform for performing and collaborating with the highest quality of audio and video. Through direct fiber optical connections, audio and video will take approximately 200 milliseconds (less than a third of a second) to travel from Miller Recital Hall at Manhattan School of Music to the Haydnsaal of the University of Music and Performing Arts in Vienna. In addition to its incredible speed, UltraGrid also provides the most accurate sound and picture possible over a network connection—sending raw, uncompressed audio and video signals to each location. Total bandwidth utilized for a UltraGrid connection can range from 30 Mbps (megabits per second) to over 1 Gbps (gigabits per second). Today, we connect to Vienna at 75 Mbps—about 150 times faster than the average Skype call (512 kilobits per second). The use of UltraGrid is groundbreaking for MSM Distance Learning. We hope that this research and development exploration will contribute to pushing the frontier of what is possible for global music access and outreach in the twenty-first century.
