Video: AMWA NMOS IS-04 and IS-05 Scalability and Performance

Posted on by Russell Trafford-Jones

AMWA’s discovery and registration protocols IS-04 and IS-05 play a big role in making IP systems usable, allowing the system to easily identify new kit when it’s plugged in and understand its capabilities. However, deploying such systems at scale should give anyone pause for thought – how scalable are they? How does the system recover after a network outage? Clearly we wouldn’t want the system to be brought down by the administrative burden.

Rob Porter, from Sony Europe Ltd., has done the research and presents it here at the VSF’s IP Showcase at the 2018 IBC.

Rob gives a brief overview of the two specifications, describing their APIs and the open source nature of them. He then goes on to explain how he emulated this large number of devices and what he found.

Finally, Rob wraps up the session by explaining how he optimised network-loss recovery times and summarises best practices.

Video: ST 2110 over WAN

Posted on by Russell Trafford-Jones

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

Webinar: Control and Monitoring in an IP Infrastructure

Posted on by Russell Trafford-Jones

Date: Monday 19th November 2018, 08:00 GMT and again at 16:00 GMT

Axon’s back with their 5th webinar in the Broadcast IP 101 series. Previously they have covered preparing for IP, the basics, Transport Formats and uncompressed vs compressed video. Now they are back to talk about control and monitoring.

The well-known 2022 and 2110 standards define transportation of video (and other essences). Like SDI-related standards, they don’t describe how to control the path of signals or monitor them. Unlike SDI, however, we expect to know what’s plugged in to our networks (AKA discovery) and then to control the data flow. There are proprietary and open specifications for doing this, including AMWA IS-04, IS-05 and IS-06 which deal with discovery, control and connection management.

In this webinar, CTO Peter Schut describes the lay of the land and how you can implement control and monitoring in an IP infrastructure.

The webinar happens twice. Once at 08:00 GMT (Midnight PT) and once at 16:00 GMT (11am ET).

Register now! Early, Late

Video: Full Stack 2110 with John Mailhot

Posted on by Russell Trafford-Jones



John Mailhot from Imagine Communications discusses what ‘Full Stack’ means for video over IP. The SMPTE 2110 suite of standards is mainly about the transport of essences – but how to you simply plug in some equipment and get going? You need standards which discover and register the new device, you need timing to synchronise devices. It’s a whole ecosystem.

John walks us through the data flows (and workflows) necessary when you plug new 2110 kit in and we quickly discover there is more depth than we imagined.

John also discusses how DHCP can give you more than just IP addresses.

Covering IS-04, IS-05, PTP/SMPTE 2059, ST 2110 and IEE 802.1AB (LLDP). This is a very practical video. Why? Because understanding all this is key to diagnosis and troubleshooting.
