In Proceedings of the International Computer Music Conference. 2012, 168-172.https://hdl.handle.net/1805/15145Telematic performance, connecting performing artists in different physical locations in a single unified ensemble, places extreme demands on the supporting media. High audio and video quality plays a fundamental role in enabling inter-artist communication and collaboration. However, currently available video solutions are either inadequate to the task or pose extreme technical requirements. A new solution is presented, vipr (videoimage protocol), which exposes a number of popular, robust video compression methods for real-time use in Jitter and Max. This new software has successfully enabled several inter-continental performances and presents exciting potentials for creative, telematic artists, musicians, and dancers.en-USAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 United Statesperforming artsmusictelematicnetwork videostreaming videovideo compressionmusic performancepresenceArticle
