<P><SPAN STYLE="color: #000000; font-size: medium;"> As content creators and broadcasters continue to build new IP-based foundations for their facilities, two factors are becoming increasingly clear. The first is that Ethernet technology is rising to the forefront of this transition as the industry's best and most reliable replacement for SDI technology to move live video data streams over IP networks, as recommended by the SMPTE 32NF-60 Working Group, brings with it lots of corresponding technological innovations to make it possible for broadcast plants, production companies, and studios to build IP-style plants.</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN STYLE="color: #000000; font-size: medium;"> The second point is that all the cool technology in the world won't matter much if it can't be seamlessly designed, engineered, utilized, and integrated by such entities that, for decades, have used analog equipment and physical, passive media inside the heart of their facilities. This is a particularly difficult circle to square for content creators specifically, because their ranks cover the industry's gamut, from the large studios and networks that also distribute content, to boutiques and smaller entities that create specialized content for varying new platforms, and need to connect to other collaborators and partners, large and small.</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN STYLE="color: #000000; font-size: medium;"> And therein lies the problem, in that, a meaningful and complete, industry-wide transition to relying on true IP-based content creation facilities built around Ethernet or alternative technology requires not only the right equipment, but a level of human effort and collaboration that requires two fundamentally and culturally different industries--the IT industry and the video broadcast industry--to come together in ways that are simply not yet feasible on a wide basis. Therefore, a wide ranging understanding of how to arrange an array of components and subsystems, along with comprehension about how to conduct ongoing educational initiatives across the industry, needs to happen in conjunction with the ongoing technology revolution, before the truly networked, IP-based content creation facility becomes anything close to ubiquitous.</SPAN></P>
