Video: ST 2110 over WAN

Andy Rayner from Nevion looks at using SMPTE ST 2110 on a Wide Area Network (WAN).

While using ST 2110 is a much discussed topic in the studio or within a building, there are extra difficulties in putting it between buildings, cities and countries with some saying it shouldn’t even be done. Here, Andy examines how you can do it whilst acknowledging the industry still has some decisions to make.

Topics discussed include:

  • SMPTE ST 2022-7 – dual flows
  • FEC use on ST 2110
  • Flow Trunking
  • Conversions to and from 2110 and 2022-6
  • Light/Mezzanine Compression
  • PTP Trunking and GPS-locked PTP
  • Multiple Timing Domains
  • Discovery & Control between buildings

Video: DOCSIS 3.1 – An In-depth Overview

An in-depth talk explaining DOCSIS 3.1 from SCTE by Cisco’s Ron Hranac. DOCSIS 3.1 is the latest Data-Over-Cable Service Interface Specifications.

The presentation will include information on the following:
– Why DOCSIS 3.1?
– Basic principles of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM).
– Spectrum allocation.
– FEC performance enhancements.
– New Proactive Network Maintenance (PNM) measurements.

CableLabs released version I01 of the new specification in late October 2013. DOCSIS 3.1 introduces a new physical layer, improved Forward Error Correction (FEC) and other features for high-speed data transmission on cable networks. Scalable to 10+ Gbps in the downstream and 1+ Gbps in the upstream, DOCSIS 3.1 supports services competitive with fibre to the home, but using cable’s HFC platform. Cisco’s Ron Hranac provides an overview of DOCSIS 3.1 from a physical layer perspective.
