The owners of contemporary television facilities are being faced with challenges from a number of directions. • The introduction and use of large format images in television program production creating motions images in excess of HD rates (2K and 4K) • The increasing reliance on IT storage and server technology for motion image storage and processing • The need to accept and provide content in multiple forms to multiple business partners • The need to be compatible with current large installed investment in SDI baseband infrastructures • The emergence of higher capacity IP based transport and routing as well as new standards for encapsulating HD video into IP — This paper will review the evolution of large facility infrastructures and in the context of these new trends and offer a point of view on the characteristics and requirements of the “multi-resolution infrastructure of the future”.
