Tests will be conducted in collaboration with RAI Production and ICT Divisions, providing, after a first phase of laboratory testing at CRIT, interconnection of two corporate sites through the IP Rai network.

Will be evaluated:

• ability to integrate Sony experimentation with other similar activities for the transmission of audio / video signals over IP (eg, remote audio stations and mixers)
• interoperability with other audio / video signals available on the network
• issues related to the interconnection of switches compatible with the Sony IP Live solution with those already in use
• transit of PTP synchronism through the local and geographic network
• remote management of network-connected cameras
• performances on a geographic network link, with particular focus on QoS (low rate of lost packets, jitter , low latency, packets out of sequence)
• feasibility of an audio / video “remote production” on the current corporate network infrastructure

This project is a first step to provide useful elements to estimate the investments needed to adapt actual network infrastructure to future IP production needs.
