Abstract: This paper describes a general concept for a multi-format digital studio with an emphasis on signal distribution, interconnection, and synchronization. The concept plant is broad in scope, acting as a basis for facilities with more narrow scope. This concept is designed to be functional today while including the capability of incorporating future technology within reasonable economic constraints. A number of HDTV, DTV, DVB, and SDI signal formats will be discussed in technical detail with respect to timing and format composition providing a sound technical basis supporting the feasibility of multi-format synchronization as well as a strong argument for incorporating this technology in any new facility. Fiber and copper interconnection technology will be discussed as part of evaluating how future LAN and telecommunications technologies may be incorporated into this concept facility, and how these technologies could be used in combination with conventional methods to implement digital studios with reasonable longevity. Pertinent block diagrams, tables, and graphs, and comparative performance analysis data will be included to support the design concepts of this plant.
