- Abstract
- For years the vast majority of audio/video assets have been moved between locations using both streamed audio/video and tape. With the advent of local area networking (LAN) and wide area networking (WAN) technology and associated infrastructure, new ways to move assets are available to augment the existing methods. This paper gives motivation for broadcasters to use WAN methods for moving media files. Several very compelling reasons for using WAN technology as part of a broadcast facility are outlined. A brief overview of WAN technology is given with emphasis on the salient points for the broadcaster. Six different WAN technologies are compared. Some favorable trends are presented with a view to the future.
