With the emergence of IPTV as a viable video entertainment distribution solution and the increased use of IP metro and wide area networks for video transport, more and more video processing equipment manufacturers are including IP interfaces on everything from encoders and receivers to splicers, rate shapers and test and monitoring systems. That, coupled with the existing wide array of high rate IP routers and switches, allows us to explore the advantages and mechanics of using IP as the primary connection paradigm for digital headends.
