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 28 in Chapter 1, Introducing the Profile XP). 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.
