Making SONET/SDH/ATM work for the television industry is now possible with new technologies and products that seamlessly integrate television signals into the broadband worldwide backbone. Using these new technologies, television signals are readily transformed into datacom-compatible form and transparently transported wherever they need to be with minimal delay and at the quality level expected by the broadcast and post-production industry.
