It is a clear-cut requirement of IP infrastructures that all signal flows need to be conducted via an IT switch, or network of switches, providing an architecture that allows a virtually anything-to-everything routing environment.

One notable “new” figure will be Dr. Andrew Cross, formerly with NewTek, Vizrt and now the new CEO of Grass Valley (GV).
Philo T. Farnsworth’s reported first words upon seeing the first TV image, which happened to be transmitted wirelessly, were “There you are, electronic television!” Some 95 years later, TV broadcasters and viewers rely more on wireless electronics than ever.
