This article says “Purdue University researchers have streamed a nearly 10-gigabyte scientific animation of a 90,000-atom cell structure over the Internet. The researchers believe the animation may be the largest non-compressed video sent over the Internet and viewed in real time”.Further,”the two-minute animated video, which was a scientific visualization of a cell structure from a bacterium, was streamed at a rate of 7.5 gigabits per second with a peak transfer rate of 8.4 gigabits per second. At that speed, the researchers could have transmitted approximately 12 movie DVDs in the same two minutes. Laura Arns, associate director and research scientist at the Envision Center, said the speedy transfer demonstrated a cost-effective method for providing access to scientific visualizations.
“The video was not compressed and it wasn’t done using expensive, highly specialized equipment,” she said. “The equipment could have been purchased off the shelf for less than $100,000.” Arns said the technique could allow researchers to collaborate in real time on projects such as drug discovery or viewing massive images from the Hubble telescope.She said there also could be future applications for the entertainment industry.”Using this, new release movies could be streamed into theaters all at the same time,” she said. “Or, the movie studios could use this technique to move films that are in production so that people could work on them collaboratively in real time.”
