During 2006 the development of the open source digital video sync-starter software IvySync continued achieving new features. The interactive installation "Jardin Secret" by Lydia Schouten has been implemented with an ad-hoc customisation of the software, opening the way for sensor controlled setups.
Thanks to a new remote control feature (XMLRPC) the software can now interact with Montevideo's web catalogue, as it has been employed also for single-channel video playback in Montevideo's Mediateek, playing back on-demand local streams from the video server as outlined in the Video Streaming on LAN research.
IvySync was employed in more locations for the exhibition of multiple channel video artworks by Julika Rudelius (Montevideo, De Balie, "Eastern Neighbours" in Babel Utrecht), Calin Dan, Magnus Monfeldt, Broersen & Lukacs (Stedelijk Museum 's-Hertogenbosch).
Besides its direct adoption in Montevideo, the software started being freely employed by researchers in media labs and video art musea, within the terms of the GNU General Public License: while it isn't possible to keep exact track of this dissemination, we had notice from the Glasgow School of Art (Ben Dembroski) and the Bergen Center for Electronic Arts, plus more researchers and artists in the Netherlands experimenting with it.
As a research publication the Wide Area Network Streaming documentation has been written, completed with encoding benchmarks and published in the "Competence Network for Media Design" book (ISBN 3-9502013-2-7) as a collaboration with the Austrian FHplus program run by Universities of Applied Sciences Vorarlberg/St.Poelten/Salzburg.
