Challenges

27. ECHODamp
•
A multi-channel audio
mixer and echo controller
for high-bandwidth musical
videoteleconferencing
•
Uses a dynamics-based
algorithm rather than a
frequency-based one (like
Acoustic Echo Cancellation)
to preserve the full
frequency range of the
audio signal
•
Intuitive and easy-to-use
controls work with any 4X4 (or larger) audio interface that
supports CoreAudio on the Macintosh or MME,
DirectSound, or ASIO on the Windows platform
•
Available free to non-profit educational and performing arts
institutions at http://echodamp.com

28. ECHODamp collaborators
•
Created by Brian Shepard, Assistant Professor of
Pedagogical Technology, University of Southern California
Thornton School of Music
•

32. LOLA
LOw LAtency Audio Visual Streaming System
The Dream...
...at the GARR Conference 2005, in Pisa...

Teresa Trevisan and Flavio Zaccaria: ... our “Piano Duo”

34. LOLA, many challenges, still...
“I do not know what you have done, but I call it a
Miracle!” (F. Zaccaria, pianist, after he performed 3 full Bach Brandburg Concerts with his partner T.
Trevisan playing more than 100Km away)
“We are in a new unexplored world: how can we adapt
interpretation to two different Concert Hall acoustic
environment at the same time?” (N. Buso, musician, composer and audio
engineer in the LOLA development team)
“We won the CODECs challenge! ... the challenge is for
the NRENs now! (how do I tell my colleagues?)”
dedicated circuits/lightpaths, jitter<3ms, take down ~1ms per 100Km to the speed of light.
