About the Fibre Channel video network option
The Fibre Channel video network actually relies on two separate networks: Fibre
Channel and Ethernet. The Fibre Channel network is part of the Real-Time Processor
subsystem which manages the flow of video data in and out of the system (refer to “High
level block diagram” on page 34 in Chapter 1, “Introducing the Profile XP Media
Platform”). The Fibre Channel network provides the high speed connection between
network devices.
The Ethernet network is part of the Windows NT computer system in the Profile XP and
is used for control and transport of data associated with the discovery and identification
of video clips within the system. This network can be either 10BaseT or 100BaseT
Ethernet. Both networks use TCP/IP network protocol.
