Digital video is the area that represents the potentially largest aggregate use of Internet2 high-performance networks, and the area that derives the widest benefit from that high-bandwidth capacity. Video applications encompass everything from Internet-based videoconferencing to on-demand content to remote control of microscopes and other instrumentation. The Internet2 Digital Video Initiative (http://dv.internet2.edu/) is one effort involved in developing a wide range of advanced digital video capabilities for the national research community. These efforts are enabling a new generation of digital video applications that take full advantage of the potential of high-performance networks.
	This presentation contains examples of some high-performance networking applications and activities that are currently in progress throughout the Internet2 community in the area of Digital Video.
