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


With the SMPTE 2110 suite of standards largely published and the related AMWA IS-04 and -05 specifications stable, people’s minds are turning to how to implement all these standards bringing them together into a complete working system.

The JT-NM TR-1001-1 is a technical recommendation document which describes a way of documenting how the system will work – for instance how do new devices on the network start up? How do they know what PTP domain is in use on the network?

John Mailhot starts by giving an overview of the standards and documents available, showing which ones are published and which are still in progress. He then looks at each of them in turn to summarise its use on the network and how it fits in to the system as a whole.

Once the groundwork is laid, we see how the JT-NM working group have looked at 5 major behaviours and what they have recommended for making them work in a scalable way. These cover things like DNS discovery, automated multicast address allocation and other considerations.

Video: Routing AES67

Well ahead of video, audio moved to uncompressed over IP and has been reaping the benefits ever since. With more mature workflows and, as has always been the case, a much higher quantity of feeds than video traditionally has, the solutions have a higher maturity.

Anthony from Ward-Beck Systems talks about the advantages of audio IP and the things which weren’t possible before. In a very accessible talk, you’ll hear as much about soup cans as you will about the more technical aspects, like SDP.

Whilst uncompressed audio over IP started a while ago, it doesn’t mean that it’s not still being developed – in fact it’s the interface with the video world where a lot of the focus is now with SMPTE 2110-30 and -31 determining how audio can flow alongside video and other essences. As has been seen in other talks here on The Broadcast Knowledge there’s a fair bit to know.(Here’s a full list.

To simplify this, Anthony, who is also the Vice Chair of AES Toronto, describes the work the AES is doing to certify equipment as AES 67 ‘compatible’ – and what that would actually mean.

This talk finishes with a walk-through of a real world OB deployment of AES 67 which included the simple touches as using google docs for sharing links as well as more technical techniques such as virtual sound card.

Packed full of easy-to-understand insights which are useful even to those who live for video, this IP Showcase talk is worth a look.

Webinar: IP for Media Part 4 – Audio

Date: Thursday 21st March 2019
Time: 2PM EDT / 18:00 GMT

The fourth in the series of IP in broadcasting, Wes Simpson, NewTek and TV Technology are back, this time, to discuss using Audio over IP – specifically uncompressed audio over IP.

There are a number of proprietary systems like Dante, RAVENNA and others, but this webinar focusses on the standardised AES67 and the closely linked SMPTE ST 2110-30 standards.

Register here for this webinar and the previous IP ones which cover Security, Remote Production and the first ‘101’ session covering the basics of compressed and uncompressed IP for broadcasting.

Video: The Audio Parts of ST 2110 Explained

At the IBC 2018 IP Showcase, Andreas Hildebrand explains how AES67 and 2110 work together and how technologies like Dante, RAVENNA and Livewire fit in.

While there are lots of resources for working with 2110 video, but this is one of the few which tackles Audio. Andreas covers one of the ‘gotchas’ in 2110 – the compatability requirements for AES within the standard. He then looks at the timing requirements of 2110 and how they differ to those of AES67 and finally discusses AES3 while explaining the ST 2110-31 standard.
