....... ambiguous nature of Fibre Channel (is it a network, is it an
interface, is it both?) has led to an increasing number of users benefiting from
being able to physically de-couple their sizeable disk clusters from the units
housing both the codecs and the software running the user interface. Of course,
the logical extension of this idea would be to also remote the codecs to a
central 'engine room'. Operators then become left with merely a PC on which
to host the man/machine interface. Some broadcasting organisations, for
example TV4 in Sweden and Central TV in UK, have already embraced this
concept, helped by product from OmniBus Systems (see their work with
ENPS and Quantel).

So they want to put the codec closer to the SAN.
Went to the Omnibus site.

omnibus.co.uk

Took a virtual tour of some current tv studios.
They needs SANS.

Read about Virage; A video search engine pioneer

virage.com

irage's market-leading media cataloging and media analysis
products enable organizations to get a handle on the terabytes of
video and image content they own. Virage's media indices and
metadata form the basis of managing these rich data types, in
much the same way that a card catalog unlocks the wealth of
knowledge in a large library.

Digital broadcast +SAN + new technology(like virage)=something
that will give that 10X factor that a concept needs.

'Gonna keep my FC seats for a few years and see how much they are going for then.
