Image Transport Quality? No Problem

In the process of creating quality digital motion images, there is a need to move these images around as part of the creation process. The digital aspect of these images directly implies non-physical media as a transport option, such as broadband wired or wireless networks. The definition of ‘quality image delivery’ will be that the digital bits sent are identical to the bits received. ‘Live’ digital streaming images that are being played or stored sequentially and that cannot be resent in the event of an error have a different set of requirements than content that is image files. The quality transport of content files is addressed with reliable file transfer protocols. There are a number of protocols available that address different transport networks and environments. Terrestrial networks will allow for standard IP transport protocols. Satellite and wireless networks require different types of protocols. It will be shown how transport networks can reliably and safely deliver quality digital images everywhere, at a price.
