Webinar: Building Large SMPTE ST 2110 Systems Using JT-NM TR-1001-1

Posted on by Russell Trafford-Jones

When? 10th Jan 2019. 1:00 PM EST / 10:00 AM PST / 18:00 GMT

TR 1001-1 from the JT-NM (Joint Task Force on Networked Media) gives guidance on protocols, configuration and architectures to use when setting up large ST-2110 systems.

John Mailhot and Brad Gilmer, both well trusted industry figures who are in the thick of creating and testing ST-2110 and the surrounding specifications, will lead us through what it is, what it tells us and, ultimately, how we can best go about creating a large ST 2110 system.

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.

Video: Control Throughput and Latency for Multicast-based IP Routing Systems

Posted on by Russell Trafford-Jones

John Mailhot explains throughput and latency in switches and discusses live SDI switching in IP, subscription and control using NMOS 5 and 6. John then takes some time to discuss what ‘good enough’ is for switching time given SDI also has a delay.

Finishing up with network topology and interoperability, this is a great look into some of the details of dealing with 2110.

The SMPTE 2110 family of essence networking protocols is based on multicast flows in the IP network. IGMP (Internet Group Multicast Protocol) is the typical method for endpoints to subscribe to the streams they want, and to leave the streams they no longer require. Concerns have been raised in the industry about the suitability of IGMP for this task, and the applicability of SDN techniques as an alternative means to managing group memberships. Speed of switching signals is a particular concern.
