What is Cine. Grid? Cine. Grid is a non-profit international membership organization established in 2007 based on collaborative efforts, since i. Grid 2002 in Amsterdam, of leaders in the fields of advanced networking and digital media technology from Japan, America, Canada, and Europe. Cine. Grid 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. Cine. Grid is built on GLIF links by GLIF members. Cine. Grid organizes major demonstrations with many GLIF users.
Historic Convergence Motivates Cine. Grid • 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
