Microsoft, Intel, Hewlett-Packard and others will conduct a live Webcast of a concert with high-definition video and 5.1-channel sound.
The tech companies, working with service providers NTT East and J-Stream, will broadcast a live concert of popular Japanese musician Jo Hisaishi on April 16 to a preselected audience of 700 through a Web site, according to Microsoft.
The broadcast is designed to demonstrate the use of broadband PCs as high-quality, audio-video entertainment devices, a Microsoft representative said. The company also aims to show that its server technology can be viable for streaming video into next-generation "filmless" digital movie theaters.
