News from FORE>>> R NewsWire First-Ever Networked HDTV Demonstrated At ComNet '99 WHAT: FORE Systems, Inc., (Nasdaq: FORE) a leading global supplier of advanced networking solutions, in conjunction with several technology partners, is demonstrating the first-ever uncompressed transport of High Definition Television (HDTV) signals across a multiservice network. The HDTV video feed originates at the Naval Research Laboratory and is transported over a high-performance network to the ComNet show floor, approximately six miles away. WHERE: FORE Systems Booth No. 1426 ComNet '99/Washington Washington DC Convention Center WHEN: Tuesday, Jan. 26 from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m Wednesday, Jan. 27 from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 28, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. BACKGROUND: The Advanced Technology Demonstration Network (ATDnet) community seeks to develop methods to take advantage of advanced video applications such as HDTV for the U.S. Armed Forces. The networked HDTV demonstration at ComNet shows for the first time how HDTV can be transported in an uncompressed format across a multiservice network in real time. The HDTV demonstration starts at the Naval Research Laboratory, where the signal is generated by live camera or tape. The signal travels from the NRL's network, part of the ATDnet, after being converted into asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) cells by advanced video technology from Tektronix, which provides solutions to manage the transmission, storage and distribution of video over networks. The 1.5 Gbps digital signal is switched by a ForeRunner(R) ASX(TM)-4000 ATM backbone switch using the industry's only OC-48c (2.5 Gbps) ATM ports. The cell traffic coming from the ASX-4000 is transported using Osicom Technologies' Gigumux(TM) Dense Wave Division Multiplexer (DWDM) across a Bell Atlantic Federal fiber, which completes the link into the convention center. The same equipment on the receiving end prepares the signal for eventual viewing on a plasma display, yielding studio-quality HDTV. At the same time, live two-way high-quality MPEG2 videoconferencing is taking place across the same network link.
