New Technology Brings Concerts And Other Entertainment To The Big
Screen Via Internet - Also Brings High Quality Digital Video And
Better Audio
January 2003 (Newstream) -- The Internet is going Hollywood and
ready to make its silver screen debut.
Via the Internet, concerts and other entertainment could be coming
soon to your local movie theater thanks to new technology. The
technology provides high quality theater-screen size digital video and
audio that is better than anything available in theaters today.
The innovative video and audio technology from the Integrated Media
Systems Center (IMSC) at the University of Southern California (USC)
was demonstrated to 500 top Internet researchers in a recent event on
the USC campus in Los Angeles. The audience saw a concert over the
Internet of a previously recorded segment by the New World Symphony of
Miami Beach on a 30-foot theater screen in USC's Bing Theater.
Movie theaters and other businesses can access high-speed network
services now and potentially employ this new technology. And with many
movie theaters converting to digital systems and high-speed networks
rapidly expanding, that Internet could be coming soon to a theater
near you.
