VESA IMPLEMENTATIONS

VESA has completed a proof-of-concept trial that is a physical realization of the VHN architecture. The trial was built around an operational long distance IEEE 1394 backbone, and demonstrated the capability of the architecture to support:

Figure 16.3. VHN proof of concept

  1. Multiple simultaneous digital video streams—digital video (DV) and MPEG-2

  2. Multiple types of datastreams—digital video and asynchronous data (Web browsing)

  3. Multiple types of network segments—IEEE 1394 and Ethernet

The trial used Category 5 UTP as the backbone transmission medium. Figure 16.3 shows the equipment and connections for the proof-of-concept.
