Full titleLIVE-FOR-ALL
Summary
In modern medical teaching the operating theatre procedures play an important role. There is an intrinsic limit to the availability of operating rooms for students: space is never enough. The use of video transmission to other sites, such as classrooms, has been spreading in the last years, but it requires point to point connection, lacking flexibility.
The recent advancements in digital video encoding and streaming video technology make now possible to deliver high quality moving images and sound to a LAN.
Personal computers are ubiquitous and allow anybody to access a live transmission in any room.
For live transmissions, multicasting saves bandwidth if there are multiple users.
