Abstract: Advances in digital storage technology have made it possible to store vast amounts of program material in a central location. In addition, advances in digital distribution technology have made it possible to move this material more efficiently between facilities and, ultimately, deliver it via multiple channels to a mass audience. At the heart of the network, switching and routing must be deterministic, error free, and fault free.

bio
Chuck Meyer heads the NVision design team that has developed the most innovative line of digital audio, video, and HDTV routing products on the market today, including the Envoy multiformat router. He has published or presented a number of papers on digital audio-video technology, discussing conversion, synchronization, routing, and other related topics, and authored the highly regarded NVision product Catalog Design Notes, The Book and The Book II. Prior to Joining NVision in 1990, Meyer co-founded Applied Design Laboratories, where he successfully developed and liscensed consumer electronic products for Tyco, Hasbro, Nike, and Nolan Bushnell's Axlon Toys. He has designed and developed CMOS chips for modem applications, as well as optimal coding algorithms for picture-phone products. Meyer earned B.S. and M.S. degrees in electrical engineering from the University of California at Berkley. He holds 17 patents. Meyer is a member of SMPTE, and IEEE.
