Connecting SD and HD via Gigabit Ethernet in the Studio

The use of network connections is set to expand rapidly in television. At the same time television is changing faster than ever with new formats, DTV and high definition on the horizon. The object is to specify and create an open network appropriate for today's requirements as well as meeting tomorrow's growing, and more demanding needs. This has to work in parallel with the existing connections to provide additional I/O and without compromising their performance. For economy and compatibility the base technology should come from the computer industry but the choices require careful study. Quantel's work has resulted in Clipnet which is aimed at more efficient operation and better access to material.
