Abstract: The need for a viable data networking solution in production has never been greater. The requirements to handle more production formats and metadata combined with the relentless drive for efficiency is placing the current video infrastructure under pressure. Fast data networks are increasingly available and potentially help solve many problems. To gain the maximum benefit from mainstream network technology, it is important that the production environment understands its capabilities and limitations. This paper argues that for many applications the cost and complexity of networks supporting advanced services, such as quality of service, is not warranted and its benefit is outweighed by the interoperability and affordability of simpler solutions. The availability of general purpose high-bandwidth, low-latency networks with good vendor support will prove invaluable to the production system designer.

bio
Steve Owen joined Quantel in 1996 after eight years with Panasonic Broadcast, where he was heavily involved in managing the introduction of a range of digital products including the D-3 and DVCPRO formats into Europe. At Quantel, he worked on the Editbox range of online nonlinear edit systems and is now responsible for marketing of all Quantel's products. Owens' training in broadcast was at the BBC in and around post-production engineering, learning more than he cares to remember about VTRs.
