Networked IT in the Updated
Hearst Headquarters
"It's what you don't see that makes the new Hearst
building an icon of its age: a networked IT infrastructure that would
probably impress even the building's notoriously crusty namesake --
the late media mogul, William Randolph Hearst.
'This is one of the biggest IT networking projects ever undertaken,'
says Christopher Resch, associate director of technical services for
Hearst, part of the mostly inhouse team that led the design and
integration of the building's communications and media backbone.
Conduits in the floor and cleverly concealed in the Erector Set-like
walls carry a combination of Cat-6e, fiber-optic, and RG-9 coax cabling
for voice, video, and data traffic throughout the building. The Cat-6e
cable runs from each desktop on every floor to each floor's telephone
closet (probably an antiquated name at this point in history). From
there, each closet has an access switch running on 50-micron multimode
fiber, supplied by Comscope's System Max wire division, to the data
center. (The Amino AmiNET110 converter then converts the video-over-IP
signal for use with television sets.)... —From the Sound & Video

Hearst headquarters in New York.

Magenta Research has accomplished a new benchmark in
video-over-Cat5. Using a proprietary electronic design, the company has

07 in Anaheim, Calif.
The MultiView XR-2000 receiver is specified to deliver UXGA computer
video (1600x1200) over 2,000ft. of Cat-5/6 and features 64ns of
