[LUG] Impressive Video from the Gulf ...

 


Just seen this:

  http://www.bp.com/liveROVFeed

BP are providing a live video feed from their ROVs a mile underwater in the middle of the gulf - that page shows all cameras at the same time, you can click on individuals.

Just viewing that page needs about 1- 1.5Mb/sec of streaming feed - so they must be uploading that via satellite, then into the Akamai CDN then to the punters at the end of the interwebs...

It makes the effort of the live feed from the Skylla seem feeble by comparison... (did that ever work?)
