ethernet is not optimised for any kindof real time networking.
it has a good headline data rate, but terrible latency.
And apples file sharing isnt optimised to do this either.

Ethernet based networks for use with catalyst- IMHO - has to be about the worse possible thing.

Fibre channel and the hardware to support it -is designed to do this kindof thing, in real world video networks.
