Thanks for your reply.

We are drifting from the intention of my post.. Let's say the video is then compressed heavily and coming out of a MPEG encoder - this part I didn't mean to debate. Assuming its still adhering to the Avalon-ST video standard out of the encoder, can I just hook it up to the TSE block and expect the data be packetized properly and sent to the ethernet where it can go through routers/switchers/relays/whatnot and be received anywhere else? Or, is there some special "pre"-packetizing that I have to create with a glue logic prior to sending it to the TSE? Maybe CRC, maybe something else? Or do I need to create the packets myself?

I'm not too familiar with Ethernet - that's why I'm asking basic premise questions..
