[dvblast-devel] Information request for presentations

[Marian Ďurkovič]

Hello Andy,

  in Slovak (and also Czech) academic community, videolan is very popular for
years. The typical deployment is at university campus or at students' dormitory,
where server(s) running DVBlast (VLS/VLC in the past) feed RTP streams over IP
multicast to the network. This is deployed at several universities, the biggest
deployment I know of uses 4 servers with 16 DVB cards. 

  Out of curiosity, just a few days ago we had the 7-th anniversary of the first
VLS/VLC deployment at our university :-)

    With kind regards,

       M.
