The Meeting Point – 8K Stream from Immersive Multimedia Labs at PSNC
Poznan Supercomputing and Networking Center (PL), Spin Digital Video Technologies GmbH (DE), Ars Electronica Futurelab (AT)

A live 8K streaming from PSNC labs in Poznań, Poland to Ars Electronica in Linz, Austria. In Ars Electronica’s Deep Space a video in 8K resolution with multichannel sound will be transmitted live from PSNC, and realized with the use of several modern techniques using prototype hardware and software. It will also be a short trip through all the experiments and implementations that have been successfully done in the last few years as part of the Immersify project.
