The concert was heard, and seen, in the Norris Theater at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. Twelve channels of high-resolution, production quality sound (24bit/96KHz PCM) were transmitted over the new high speed internet networks CA*net3 in Canada and Internet2 in the U.S in real-time. An MPEG-2 video stream was also transmitted using Cisco Systems's IP/TV system. In Los Angeles, the 12-channel audio stream was mixed by world-renowned recording engineers Brant Biles and Bob Margoulef and fed into the 5.1 channel sound system of the Norris Theater, while the video stream was projected on a large screen. This is a first for transmitting a live performance of this quality over the Internet.
