Introducing CineGrid
• Research initiative to develop a global cyber-infrastructuresuitable for the professional production, distribution,archiving and display of digital media, concentrating onHDTV, 2K and 4K motion pictures, and beyond.
• Effort to stimulate education and training of nextgeneration digital media professionals, and cultivate globalinter-disciplinary communities to help advance the state ofthe art
• CineGrid will connect people using high performance“extreme” digital media via secure photonic networks usingtools originally developed for scientific visualization andGrid computing
• Initially, 1 GigE circuit linking CineGrid members in SanDiego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Chicago, andTokyo for non-commercial tests and demonstrations.
CineGrid Assumptions
CineGrid Assumptions• High-end visualization driven by three user groups– Entertainment, media, art and culture
– Science, medicine, education and research
– Military, intelligence, security and police
• All three markets trending towards convergence– advanced image formats with high(er) resolutions,
high(er) dynamic range and high(er) frame rates
– remote access to shared instruments, specializedcomputers and massive storage
– fast(er) networking with similar profiles
– networked collaboration tools for remote teams
– security for intellectual property
– training of next generation professionals
CineGrid Hypotheses• Digital cinema community can leverage scientific
visualization and Grid technologies
• Scientific Grid community can leverage digitalcinema market forces
• Systems developed for CineGrid can be appliedto many applications of digital media, scientificvisualization and distance learning
• Useful information exchange betweencommunities looking at “extreme” digital mediaproblems from different perspectives
• CineGrid demonstrations will focus developers,driving a virtuous cycle of “learning by doing”
CineGrid R&D Topics• Store-and-forward secure content delivery
• Streaming secure content transmission
• Pre-production collaborative design & planning
• Studio and remote production of sound and picture
• Digital dailies, interactive viewing & mark-up
• Distributed post production of audio/video
• Digital film scanning and restoration
• Digital media archiving
• Remote calibration and quality control of audio/video
• Education of next generation professionals– Remote lectures and interactive teaching– Experimental production– Exchange of student works– Joint development of training methods– Sharing of creative spirit

4K Still Images
Many applications today are generating
“extreme” resolution digital still images.
These applications can take advantage of 4K
image quality even if their raw image
resolution is much higher.
