MOVE FROM ASI TO IP KEYS BOOM

摘要

Many of the new IP-based products that are expected to be launched at this year's NAB were made possible by technological developments honed over the last decade or more. Tom Lattie, VP of product management at Harmonic, notes that a push eight or nine years ago by major multichannel video providers to migrate from ASI networks to IP networks helped create more reliable technologies for IP-based video. Since then, more recent improvements in "bandwidth and switch fabric" has made it possible to handle much more video at lower costs, he says. "So the IP infrastructure is better suited for broadcast workflows, both from a bandwidth and cost standpoint."
