Webinar: Measuring and Visualising Live IP Traffic

Posted on by Russell Trafford-Jones


Webinar: 14 Jun 2018, 15:00 BST

This Webinar provides an introduction to the Live IP Software Toolkit (LIST), and how and what to use it for.
Shining a light on media streams.

IP-based networks make for powerful production infrastructures because they are content-agnostic, scalable, and, in principle, flexible.

Understanding what is going on in your Live IP infrastructure is important. Are your senders transmitting according to the specifications? Does your PTP timing reference perform within proper limits? Without new tools, administrators are blind to such factors. That is where LIST comes in.

The Live IP Software Toolkit allows administrators to inspect production network traffic and visualize streams. It is closely aligned with SMPTE 2110 and related standards. LIST is currently a minimum viable product and open source.

As an industry we have finally built a consensus on a common IP standard and are forging ahead with the SMPTE ST 2110 suite of standards. However, there are more challenges to conquer when moving to an IP broadcast infrastructure.
