Subject: [AUDITORY] Open lecture: JackTrip with Chris Chafe and Mike Dickey, 25th of February, 20:00-21:30 CET From: Roberto Bresin <roberto@xxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 19 Feb 2021 16:47:54 +0000***Apologies for cross-posting*** JackTrip with Chris Chafe and Mike Dickey The NAVET Center at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology is very proud to = host an open lecture and QnA with Chris Chafe and Mike Dickey. Join us on Z= oom to learn about the development, recent improvements, and upcoming featu= res of JackTrip and the work of the JackTrip Foundation. The 25th of February 20:00-21:30 CET https://kth-se.zoom.us/j/62636459030 JackTrip is a multi-machine technology which supports bi-directional flows = of uncompressed audio over the internet at the lowest possible latency. Dev= eloped in the early 2000's, it was used in intercontinental telematic music= concerts and a variety of musical experiments using high-speed research ne= tworks as the audio medium. Its ability to carry hundreds of channels simul= taneously and its lightweight architecture led to a range of applications f= rom IT for concert halls to small embedded systems. The pandemic has ushere= d in a new phase of development driven by musicians seeking solutions durin= g lockdown. Major improvements have focused on ease of use and the ability = to scale across worldwide cloud infrastructure. With orchestral-sized ensem= bles urgently in need of ways to rehearse on the network and most participa= nts running their systems over commodity connections, this "new reality" ru= ns counter to what's required for ultra-low-latency rhythmic syncronization= . Many developers and musical practitioners have joined in the cause of fin= ding adequate solutions. JackTrip which has generally been run as a native = software application is now complemented by dedicated solutions including n= umerous Raspberry Pi-based systems, standalone physical web devices, and br= owser-based WebRTC and Pure Data versions. The recently established JackTri= p Foundation is a non-profit clearing house for open-source development, tr= aining, and support of partners and affiliates providing their own roll-out= s of the technology. www.jacktrip.org www.kth.se/navet ------------------------------------------------------ Roberto Bresin, Professor, KTH, Sweden Director of NAVET http://kth.se/navet roberto@xxxxxxxx
