Technical requirements Technical requirements Technical requirements Technical requirements
• Platforms (CERN, The Exploratorium…) will produce their own show
Requirements: local video team and equipment and high-end videoconferencing connection + expert.
• Simple remote connections (for Q/A sessions or guests) need
standard videoconference system to get connected to the platform.
•Encoding, streaming and platform switching are centralized in Bologna
platforms will connect directly to them
