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.

Meeting: IP in Broadcast

Posted on by Russell Trafford-Jones


Meeting: 17th Jan 2018 | 17:00 | 8 Golden Square, Soho W1F 9HY
An exclusive presentation and demonstration to help you get to grips with Precision Time Protocol (PTP) and IP workflows from Daniel Boldt (Head of Software Development, Meinberg) and Nikolaus Kerö (General Manager, Oregano Systems).

If you’re thinking about upgrading to an all-IP studio workflow, traditional synchronisation techniques like black burst and tri-level sync will have to be replaced with a packet-based method in order to make best use of the new single, shared medium. PTP is ideally suited to this, and the SMPTE 2059 standard has helped define and tailor PTP to the needs of the broadcasting industry.

Of course, planning, configuration and continuous monitoring are essential for every studio’s mission critical applications, especially if you’re upgrading to an IP-based infrastructure. As part of an in-depth presentation around PTP and IP workflow, Daniel and Nikolaus will be discussing their experiences of working with the new technologies, and comparing different PTP-enabled topologies. They’ll also provide a real-world demonstration of IP-based applications to showcase the performance of PTP under varying network conditions, and highlight its pitfalls, which could affect availability and accuracy further down the line. As standard, there’ll be drinks so you can network and discuss all the evening’s topics with everyone afterwards.

What to expect…
5pm Registration.
5.30pm Presentation begins.

On-demand Talk: 69 Minutes
Mark Yonge, AES Standards Manager, takes us on the journey of how AES67 came into being. This talk from 2015, builds on the clear indications that IP was the way forward up the technologies underpinning the standard and the implications for us on the new ways of working.

In a recorded talk at an AES UK Section meeting, Mark talks about delays, PTP, multichannel audio and much more.

Video: AES & SMPTE 2110 Commonalities and Constraints

Posted on by Russell Trafford-Jones


Great explanation of how AES67 and @SMPTE 2110 overlap but also where they differ. Including an overview of PTP timing: a perfect follow on from the recent @SMPTEUK meeting on the same topic at Surrey University.
Andreas Hildebrande from ALC NetworkX shows the completeness of the AES67 ecosystem and how different companies interoperate on IABM TV during NAB 2017.
