Abstract: DIRECTV, Inc., initiated operations at its all-digital Castle Rock Broadcast Center (CRBC) on June 17, 1994. The broadcast center contains a 512-by-512 SMPTE 259M serial digital router, controls more than 300 digital VTRs, and broadcasts nearly 200 channels via the DIRECTV geosynchronous Direct Broadcast Satellites. This paper describes the issues and challenges facing DIRECTV in evolving the CRBC and its other facilities toward a “server based” architecture. Tentative conclusions may change as requirements change and technology matures. This paper is intended to provide a basis for industry discussion of key issues.
