A Video NetworkAnd

An Operations Network

TWO DISTINCT NETWORKS:TWO DISTINCT NETWORKS:

•Digital Satellite Receivers•Broadband IP•Transcode devices•Server Interconnections

THE VIDEO NETWORK:THE VIDEO NETWORK:

Goal: Move large quantities of data around at Real Time or F.T.R.T speeds

Physical connections: Fiber, Fibre, GigE

•Traffic•Automation (On Air, Prep, Recording & Digital Ingest)•Streaming•Machine Control

THE OPERATIONS NETWORK:THE OPERATIONS NETWORK:

Goal: Support database communication for metadata sharing and consolidation

Support deterministic control of broadcast devices

•Essence Connections•Metadata Connections•Control Connections

Automation driving the system normally from a running Play List

EVENT: Schedule ChangeEVENT: Schedule Change

The Traffic Office determines that a

schedule change to the running list is

required.

Traffic Automation

1) Traffic system requests a current copy of the playlist

3) Traffic Operator makes the adjustment

4) Just before submission, Traffic makes a second request for the list and checks to see if the changes are still valid

5) If so, the changes are passed to Automation

6) Automation inserts the changes to the list and confirms back to Traffic

2) Automation returns the list in XML format

REAL SYSTEM DESIGNREAL SYSTEM DESIGN

You wouldn’t ask an Electrician to design your video networks.

I advise that you all consider utilizing the services of a professional I.T. design engineer as you embark on your I.T. build outs.

There is plenty for you to contribute to the process as most I.T. designers have never had to wrestle with the performance loads and requirements that we are asking our systems to do.

Thank You
