Controlling the Virtual Broadcast Studio

The shift from broadcasting video stored on tapes to entirely digital video stored on high speed servers allows for a dramatic change in the nature of controlling studio operations. The architecture of the studio shifts from a web of directly connected mechanical devices to a community of computers and peripherals that are linked together by a high speed wide area network. The job of managing studio operations becomes one of controlling these networked resources which enables the creation of a “virtual” studio where individuals can control the entire broadcast process from geographically independent locations.
