ST 2110

Video: SMPTE ST 2110 Perfecting the Picture and Sorting the Sound

Posted on by Russell Trafford-Jones


Andy Rayner from Nevion takes us through the principles for creating complete SMPTE ST 2110 systems based on Nevion’s real-world deployments.

With the basics for SMPTE ST 2110 in place, developments and deployments are focusing on achieving the ‘whole solution’. An all-IP environment offers immense flexibility which is yet to be fully realized but is coming to fruition as vendors mature their capabilities. As well as basic architectures, some of the areas explored including optimising buffering, audio manipulation, conversion between ST 2110 and SMPTE ST 2022 & going on/off campus in IP.

Looking at Audio, Scaling of media flows and the key question of orchestration, this is a great real-world look at ST 2110.

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.

Meeting: BOXfest 2018

Posted on by Russell Trafford-Jones

Date: Thu, June 28, 2018 12:00 PM – 4:00 PM BST
Location: Century Club, 61-63 Shaftesbury Ave, London, W1D 6LQ

The excellent BOXfest is back for its sixth year! On the theme of ‘Disruption’, this is a one day technology event in Central London. Following on from NAB, BOXfest highlights key technologies and products concentrating on customer case studies, sharing technology roadmaps and market trends. The audience is typically senior, technical management and engineers, with the day designed to allow time for people to network with their peers.

With the escalation of technologies including IP, AI and cloud alongside ever-changing business requirements how do you deliver future-proof solutions and innovation to your organisation?

Several technical authorities from a number of key vendors for product-agnostic presentations will provide insight into these topics:

IP – Where are we with IP?
AI – What is it and how does it affect me?
AI – Real world applications
Cloud – creating flexible infrastructure that works for media
IMF – What, why?
HDR – Real world experiences.

Webinar: Measuring and Visualising Live IP Traffic

Posted on by Russell Trafford-Jones


Webinar: 14 Jun 2018, 15:00 BST

This Webinar provides an introduction to the Live IP Software Toolkit (LIST), and how and what to use it for.
Shining a light on media streams.

IP-based networks make for powerful production infrastructures because they are content-agnostic, scalable, and, in principle, flexible.

Understanding what is going on in your Live IP infrastructure is important. Are your senders transmitting according to the specifications? Does your PTP timing reference perform within proper limits? Without new tools, administrators are blind to such factors. That is where LIST comes in.

The Live IP Software Toolkit allows administrators to inspect production network traffic and visualize streams. It is closely aligned with SMPTE 2110 and related standards. LIST is currently a minimum viable product and open source.
