Sony and Level 3 Transfer Broadcast Video across Ethernet

Sony Electronics successfully transferred digital broadcast video and audio segments across Level 3's wide area Ethernet network using Sony's e-VTR technology. Engineers transferred 50 and 30 Mbps broadcast 4:2:2 digital video segments across a local network. The team also successfully transferred the video segments across a wide area network from a Sony e-VTR between Denver and Washington, D.C. and between Denver and Dallas using Level 3's (3)Flex Ethernet service. Sony Electronics described the technology as "like having a very long Ethernet cable that connects multiple video production facilities" across the globe.
