From: Mark Handley <M.Handley () cs ucl ac uk> Organisation: University College London, CS Dept. Phone: +44 71 380 7777 ext 3666 THERE ARE STILL A NUMBER OF PROBLEMS TO BE OVERCOME, SO THIS MAY STILL NOT BE MULTICAST, BUT AS THE DATE IS NOW SO CLOSE, WE FELT SOME ADVANCE WARNING WAS IN ORDER. THE UK HAS ALSO BEEN EXPERIENCING SOME PROBLEMS RECENTLY WITH THE QUALITY OF OUR MBONE FEED, SO NO GUARANTEES.... -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Nature of Space and Time a series of 6 lectures given alternately by Stephen Hawking and Roger Penrose at the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences, Cambridge, UK Mon 25, Wed 27, Fri 29 April, Mon 2, Wed 4 and Fri 6 May 1994 at 5pm BST (GMT +0100). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- We hope to be able to multicast this series of lectures to the Mbone. We are very grateful to Princeton University, who own the copyright to the audiovisual recordings (videotapes will be available from them later), and have given permission for this multicast. We plan to route the video over fibre from the Newton Institute to Cambridge University AV unit, then via an H.261 codec over the SuperJANET ATM network to London, where it will then traverse the London University LIVENET video network to the MICE lab at UCL Computer Science, where we will compress it further for Mbone transmission.
