Studio on demand by distributed video production over ATM

This paper presents an overview on the European ACTS project named “Distributed Video Production (DVP)”. Central to the DVP project are distributed pilot applications for professional digital video production over ATM broadband networks (LAN and WAN). The DVP project investigates the quality of service (QoS) requirements of broadcasters for several forms of distributed video production and runs a series of trials of distributed virtual studios (“studio on demand”), distributed rehearsals and remote video editing and retrieval. Additionally, this paper reports on two initial tests with a German public broadcaster and the German Telekom. The DVP project partners are GMD and about 20 broadcasters, computer and video equipment manufacturers, and video production companies
