MAYAH IO 8000 Connected Three Locations in
Memory of Franz Liszt
August 21, 2007

Raiding (Austria), Luxembourg
and Bayreuth (Germany) were connected together on July 19th
and on July 31st for the unique project by Austrian composer
and musician Gerhard Kramer – LISZ[:T:]RAIN, dedicated
to Franz Liszt.
Franz Lizst was born on 22nd October 1811
in Raiding, he performed in the public for the last time in
Luxembourg on 19th July 1886, he died in Bayreuth on 31st
July 1886. With a composition for three pianos, three percussionists,
live electronic and video those three historical places were
tightly linked together. In a composition by Gerhard Kramer
the Liszt’s musical pieces have been re-worked in a form
of the musical microcells. Playing the composition at different
locations symbolized also the significant elements of Liszt’s
life: roaming, travels, changes.
At every location, in the historical rooms
where Liszt himself performed back in the 19th Century, contemporary
musicians have started to play the composition by Kramer simultaneously.
The percussionists synchronized themselves using digital clocks
as well as the pianists did. Six IO [io] 8000 audio video
en/decoders from MAYAH provided synchronous transmission of
pictures and audio signals of a broadcast quality over the
public Internet to the fourth location – the train station
in Luxembourg. The audio signals were mixed in a digital console
and played out to the audience. The videos have been projected
with three beamers onto a large screen.
Video signals were encoded at full standard
definition resolution with MPEG-4 H.264 and successfully transmitted
with bit rates varying from 1 Mbit/s to 2 Mbit/s, partially
using the public IP-addresses, partially from the units behind
the DSL-Routers. Audio was encoded with MPEG-4 HE AACv2 at
64 Kbit/s stereo for the perceptive transparent audio quality.
The piece by Gerhard Kramer will be performed
also in 2011 in Weimar during the celebrations of Liszt’s
200th anniversary.

About IO [io] 8000/8001 MPEG-4 H.264/AVC
Audio Video En/Decoder:
The new IO [io] 8000/8001 is aimed for a
broad application range: from MobileTV (DVB-H / DMB) to STL,
SNG and further distribution applications. It provides an
IP data stream of a highest compatibility thanks to its full
ISMA 2.0 compliance. The strictly standards-based MPEG-4 AVC/H.264
coding algorithm, secures the highest possible picture quality
at any bit rates and resolutions from QCIF up to full D1 PAL
or NTSC. For absolutely reliable links IO [io] provides such
useful features as automatic re-connect and re-sync. Optional
feature for transmission with MPEG TS / FEC, either over IP/RTP
or ASI makes the IO [io] an extremely flexible tool for various
broadcasting applications.
