Members and non-members welcome! Refreshments will be served!

Please join meeting producer Berenice Herskovits (NY1) and Fred Huffman, speaker/presenter for an evening of exploration, explanation, and informative discussion of Software Defined Network (SDN) and its close relative, Network Virtualization (NFV).
What are Software Defined Networks? What is a Virtual Network?
How do we build a system? What's all this talk about SDI 'Islands' and live IP?

The world is moving from serial digital infrastructure to software-driven, packet based infrastructure and operations, using a new SMPTE Synchronizing and Time Label Standard ST-2059. How does one transition from traditional Black Burst and Tri-Level Synchronizing signal distribution to packet based distribution? What does it take to realize the functional equivalent of a pulse DA?  How do we time a packet based system?

How do core routing and production switching work in a packet based plant? How is this connected to your office desktop PC? Are you already virtual and don't know it?!

This session is not just another buzzword bingo solution presentation. We will explore, explain and present a combination of factual information and practical ways of planning, designing and implementing packet based Ethernet/IP content creation and distribution in a technical operations facility.
