Webinar: Control and Monitoring in an IP Infrastructure

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).

Video: Full Stack 2110 with John Mailhot



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: Audio Network Standards AES67 and SMPTE ST2110

This is a very accessible overview of AES67 and 2110 from Andreas Hildebrand, evangelist for RAVENNA audio over IP technology at ALC Networx.

Andreas explains what SMPTE 2110 and AES67 are and how they relate to other standards in the industry. He then looks at the timing requirements of 2110 and how they differ to those of AES67 with examples. Another important area examined is when 2110’s audio is/isn’t compatible with AES67.

Finally AES3 is discussed as this is part of the ST 2110-31 standard and Andreas shows how this relates to RAVENNA standards.

Webinar: Neuron – IP Signal Processing for Broadcast Infrastructures


Date: Wednesday October 3rd, 08:00 BST and 16:00 BST
At IBC, Axon introduced, to much fanfare, “the world’s first Network Attached Processor” and announced two customers to boot. But what is a Network Attached Processor? Why will this solve signal processing needs of IP and hybrid-IP environments?

Peter Schut, CTO of Axon, will explain and answer questions in two sessions, am and pm.
