Background and Objectives |
| |
The availability of cheap broadband IP network connections has extended the reach of information technology (IT). We are studying an advanced broadcasting station system that aggressively exploits the advantages of IT in order to produce and transmit broadcast programs more promptly and efficiently than is possible at present.
This exhibit presents a program production system using IP networks over which program producers can freely use a variety of image materials and program production equipment. |

Features |
| |
Research on "Plug & Play" systems has progressed toward establishment of a common communications scheme for utilizing image materials and equipment on a network. Recently, we incorporated a common communications scheme in a method to construct a system that allows users to freely configure various systems, such as ones for program production or editing, on a network.
This exhibit displays one example application, an advanced program production system using network.
- This system can perform real-time transmission/processing of non-compression SDTV format video on a network.
- It allows a user to produce a program by freely combining various production systems linked together with a network.
- It can handle several different systems as if they were one single system. |

Future Work |
| |
In addition to upgrading this system to the Hi-Vision (HDTV) format, we will continue to work on other technical developments to realize broadcasting station systems for effective workflow.
