8K live streaming using IP Live in 100G SDN network on distance over 1.000 km

During the TNC17 conference taken place in Linz (Austria) on 29 May – 02 June 2017, Poznan Supercomputing and Networking Center (PSNC) in cooperation with ADVA and Juniper prepared a demonstration presenting benefits of the packet-optical integrated network infrastructure managed by SDN controller in broadcast IP live video transmissions systems.

The purpose of the demo was to present the multilayer cooperation between network equipment and video transmission systems. Around 1.000 km long connection specially established for the demonstration purposes between Poznan (Poland) and Linz (Austria) was supported by the ADVA DWDM equipment on the optical layer, Juniper MX switching platform in the packet domain and the Juniper NorthStar system as a SDN controller. As a service running on top of the network transport layer the Sony IP Live system was used for real-time streaming of 8K video. Two 8K IP Live streams were transmitted from Poznan over 100G network to Linz where the media IP traffic was routed in SDN domain and finally displayed on 8K wall.
