for those who feel zuma went kaput (most realize it's now part of the optiswitch family)... this is from fall '02 and shows a continued testing relationship with NTT at USC:

USC School of Cinema–Television

Description:
A Super High Definition digital video bit stream, originating from an NTT server at the Electronic Visualization Lab (EVL) at the University of Illinois at Chicago, is being transmitted via StarLight, through Internet2's Abilene backbone network and projected at the Zemeckis Center at the University of Southern California on a large-venue LCD projector, utilizing MRV Communications (formerly Zuma Networks) OptiSwitch 1000 series switches. Content is provided by the USC School of Cinema-Television, the EVL at the University of Illinois at Chicago, NTT Network Innovation Laboratories, and others. Using Internet2 high-performance networks, we hope to demonstrate the potential for super high-performance imaging and visualization applications over very high-speed networks.

Role of Internet2:
The transmission of Super High Definition moving images from a remote server to a distant projector without interruption can only be accomplished successfully over a long distance network with the capacity and quality of service of Internet2's Abilene backbone network. Each frame contains 8 megapixels, and at 24 frames per second, an average of 300 megabits per second is required for the compressed transmission format. The system requires high quality connectivity between Chicago and LA that can provide sustainable bandwidth without significant packet loss, delay, or jitter. Abilene could play a key role for supporting this extremely network intensive application.
