CIAR is involved in projects and initiatives related to high bandwidth digital video (5 - 30 Mbps). One of these projects consists in webcasting live or archived videos of the RCMI Seminar Series using multicast technology (VideoLan). A list of current webcasts is available at the Internet2 Digital Video Guide

The IP for archived seminars is 233.154.22.6 port 1234. For live seminars, use 233.22.154.5 port 1234.
We are also exploring technologies such as DVTS.
