Video: Designing and Utilising SMPTE 2110 for Broadcast: Opportunities and Challenges

A meeting of experienced minds here at the Pittsburgh SMPTE section talking about the opportunities and challenges of ST-2110. Phil Myers from Lawo talks optimistically about the challenges that can and often have been solved in implementing 2110 whether that be network infrastructure or timing, giving a good primer on the whole topic as he starts the session.

Hugo Gaggioni from Sony, talks about NMOS, explaining what AMWA does and the difference between their IS-04,05 and 06 specifications.

Karl Kuhn from Tektronix then discusses packet pacing, PTP and network architectures. He then looks at how to monitor PTP and see it is working well.

With the panel session at the end, joined by Dan Turk from NEP, there is a free-ranging discussion covering some of the following topics:

  • Control of IP networks
  • The limits of IP
  • Multicast traffic
  • Network Architecture
  • True non-blocking switches
  • Break-even points of IP systems
  • Split essences & dropping blanking
  • Network planning for UHD
  • Handling loss of network on PTP implementations
    plus much more!

Video: Enhanced Redundancy of ST 2059-2 Time Transfer over ST 2022-7 Redundant Networks

We’re all starting to get the hang of the basics: that PTP is the new Black and Burst, that we still need sync to make studios work and that PTP (IEEE1588) is standardised under ST 2059 for use in the broadcast industry. So given its importance, how can we make it redundant?

Thomas Kernen from Mellanox and Chair within the STMPE standards community takes about his real-lift work on implementing PTP with an eye on redundancy methods

Thomas covers the following and more:

  • Whether 2022-7 works for PTP
  • BMCA Redundancy Model
  • Multiple Grand master use
  • Adjusting to dynamic variations in timing feeds
  • IEEE 1588 v2.1
  • Timing Differences in basic networks

Video: Planning an ST 2110 infrastructure

In a continuing series of videos which dig deeper than just saying ‘hooray, IP is great’, we look at the onerous task of actually planning and deploying a whole building’s worth of 2110. From the IPShowcase at IBC 2018, Ultich Voigt from Qvest Media explains how they helped Swiss public broadcaster SRG/SSR to build their new facility – the TPC Sports, News & Technology centre.

Ulrich looks at how functions can be centralised and/or consolidated and whilst he talks of the technology standards in use, the highlight here are the workflows achieved.

Topics covered:

  • Aims of the project
  • Technical Goals and Standards
  • How they got experience in using IP ahead of the project
  • Testing planning & issues rectification
  • Deciding whether to go ‘Full IP’ and what that means
  • Dealing with immature product market
  • Vendor partnerships
  • Tendering & more!

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

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.
