Submission + - 100 Gigabit Ethernet Could Revolutionise Live TV Production 1

danversj writes: I'm slashdotting my own article here — I'm a Television Outside Broadcast Engineer who wants to use more IT and Computer Science-based approaches to make my job easier. Today, live-produced TV is still largely based on circuit-switched systems. But technologies such as 100 Gigabit Ethernet and Audio Video Bridging hold the promise of removing kilometres of cable and thousands of connectors from a typical broadcast TV installation. 100GbE is still horrendusly expensive today but broadcast TV gear has always been horrendusly expensive. 100GbE only needs to come down in price just a bit — by following the same price curve as previous Ethernet technologies — before it becomes the cheaper way to distribute hundreds of uncompressed High Definition signals around a television facility.
