The application driving this demonstration is transport of uncompressed high definition TV signals in SMPTE-292 format over an IP network. This will be the first time transport of studio quality uncompressed HDTV signals over IP has been demonstrated.

The uncompressed SMPTE-292M media stream comprises an RTP/UDP/IP flow at approximately 1.5 Gbps. Media encoding and packetization is implemented in special purpose hardware, with the control plane on a standard PC.
