True to its core objective of using Information Communication Technology  (ICT) as an enabling tool to  convey salient information among its stakeholders, the CISCAI project conducts its  SECOND LIVE VIDEO STREAMING TECHNOLOGY DEMONSTRATION, to broadcast  through the Internet, the Mini-Workshop on  State-of the-Art  ICT Applications for the Monitoring and  Management of Avian  Influenza (AI)  in Indonesia on Tuesday, 16 June 2009  at the Hotel Ibis Tamarin in Jakarta, Indonesia.

The video streaming  technology  has been designed  to be viewed even by   computer networks that are located behind  network firewalls (a firewall is an integrated collection of security measures designed to prevent unauthorized electronic access to a networked computer system). The (streaming) system does not require a public IP address to perform  streaming server  capability and can be viewed with any internet  browser such as the ubiquitous Internet Explorer, Firefox or Google Chrome.

The system uses  binary streaming transfer to convey  video packets from the hotel venue   to the CISCAI server (which acts as some kind of a reflector), and  which subsequently re-broadcasts  the video feed  via the CISCAI website  to the rest of the world via the Internet.  The system hopes to overcome the problem of low bandwidth requirement for video to be viewed effectively and efficiently.

The Live stream broadcast commences at  9:00 AM (Jakarta) Local Mean Time (Jakarta  time is  Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) +7 hours).
