A Video Studio Over Ethernet - Can it be done?

mikejz84 asks: "I am working on a design for a college campus TV station. Right now I am trying to find a way to do live events on campus. The link at most would be about a mile and a half. I was thinking microwave, but want something easier. Our campus has a gigabit ethernet backbone, I am wondering if there are any solutions for remote-to-studio links that would work over ethernet and still have very hight quality video? Idealy, I would like to have it where I can send straight DV across Ethernet Live."

Firewire over Tcpip? by bentfork · 2004-04-16 13:02 · Score: 5, Informative

I though a firewire over ip solution shouldn't be to hard to find. However when I did a google search I found a lot of dislexics out there really talking about "IP over Firewire". query
My guess is that this is what you are looking for DV Stream on IEEE1394 Encapsulated into IP
You may also want to look at The Comet Project if you are willing to buy some custom hardware (non english)
