Media Facility Infrastructure of the Future
The owners of contemporary television facilities are faced with challenges from a number of directions including the introduction and use of large format images in television program production creating motion images in excess of high-definition (HD) rates (2K and 4K); the increasing reliance on information technology 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 serial digital interface baseband infrastructures; and the emergence of higher capacity Internet protocol (IP)-based transport and routing as well as new standards for encapsulating HD video into IP. This paper reviews the evolution of large facility infrastructures and in the context of these new trends offer a point of view on the characteristics and requirements of the “multiresolution infrastructure of the future.”
