Ultra high definition technology has become a standard within the last few years, explored not only within the broadcast trade but also, more recently within the education and research industry. There has been an emerging interest, with its role yet to be defined within the education and research community.
Last week, we had the first UHD Showcase event at Cardiff University. The successful event showcased the Janet network by demonstrating the use of this technology for medical application. There were several demos including 3D radiotherapy imaging sent from Cardiff to the Poznań Supercomputing and Networking Centre (PSNC) in Poland, and 3D heritage imagery from Poland to Cardiff.
