Economic Impact of Cinema in California Major Employment from Movie Industry in California by County
In 2005, movie production provided employment for over 245,000 Californians, with an associated payroll of more than $17 billion
A 2-hour movie digitally scanned and compressed at 500Mb/s takes 450 GBytes
Hollywood alone makes 250 movies a year

What is CineGrid?
CineGrid is a non-profit international membership organization established in 2007 based on collaborative efforts, since iGrid 2002 in Amsterdam, of leaders in the fields of advanced networking and digital media technology from Japan, America, Canada, and Europe.
CineGrid is building an interdisciplinary community for the research, development, and demonstration of networked collaborative tools to enable the production, use, and exchange of very high-quality digital media over photonic networks.
CineGrid is built on GLIF links by GLIF members.
CineGrid organizes major demonstrations with many GLIF users.
Historic Convergence Motivates CineGrid
• State of the art of visualization is always driven by three communities– Entertainment, media, art and culture– Science, medicine, education and research– Military, intelligence, security and police
• All three communities are converting to digital media with converging requirements
– Fast networking with similar profiles– Access shared instruments, specialized computers and massive storage – Collaboration tools for distributed, remote teams– Robust security for their intellectual property– Upgraded systems to allow higher visual quality, greater speed, more
distributed applications– A next generation of trained professionals

• 4K transmission– JPEG2000 Compressed (500Mb/s) via
IRNC/C(ON)2/CAVEwave to Calit2 on Wednesday
– Uncompressed via IRNC/JGN2 to Keio on Friday (8bGb/s)
• DVCPRO-HD transmission– Compressed (135MB/s) via
IRNC/C(ON)2/CAVEwave to Calit2 on Thursday
– Replicated and sent to USC, UW, UIC, Ryerson, (Stockholm), Barcelona, (Prague) as 135Mb/s streams, decoded by PCs
• All done with vlans set up in a week or so

COLOR CORRECTION SETUP – GLIF Demo
Summary: CineGrid on GLIF
• A new goal for GOLEs: global access to cinema production & post production– Geographic location need no longer be a barrier to your customers
creating with the highest media production quality– You can bring your local talent and facilities to distant places– You can show support for your projects nationally and
internationally– You will point to increased revenue and employment growth in
your media industries working with world-wide collaborators, as well as observable bandwidth utilization of GLIF-style networks
Thank You Very Much!
• Our planning, research, and education efforts are made
possible, in major part, by funding from:
– US National Science Foundation (NSF) awards ANI-0225642, EIA-
0115809, and SCI-0441094
– State of California, Calit2 UCSD Division
– State of Illinois I-WIRE Program, and major UIC cost sharing
• Argonne National Laboratory and Northwestern University for
StarLight networking and management
