Webinar: What Is SMPTE ST 2110 & Why Does It Matter?

Posted on by Russell Trafford-Jones


Date: Tuesday, 5 June 2018, 18:00 BST, 12PM EST

The SMPTE ST 2110 Professional Media Over Managed IP Networks suite of standards is a major contributing factor in the movement toward one common internet protocol (IP)-based mechanism for the professional media industries. The foundation for SMPTE ST 2110 standards is Video Services Forum (VSF) Technical Recommendation for Transport of Uncompressed Elementary Stream Media Over IP (TR-03). The SMPTE ST 2110 standards suite specifies the carriage, synchronization, and description of separate elementary essence streams over IP for real-time production, playout, and other professional media applications.

In this free webinar from IEEE, you’ll gain the knowledge you need to help your company make the most of SMPTE ST 2110, a critical enabler of fully internet protocol (IP)-based operations.

Speakers:
Joel E. Welch, Director of Education, SMPTE
Thomas Bause Mason, Director of Standards Development, SMPTE

Location: Crystal Vision, Lion Technology Park Station Road East, Whittlesford, CB22 4WL See map: Google Maps
The meeting is two minutes walk from Whittlesford railway station with regular train services to London Liverpool Street and Cambridge. Good trains from London Liverpool St are at 17.13 slow and 17.37 fast returning on 20.30 or 21.11 or 21.30 (about an hour)

Crystal Vision’s System Architect Richard Lawrence and Managing Director Philip Scofield will explain how some of the problems of putting together a live media IP installation can be solved, covering subjects such as network security, compatibility between equipment suppliers, firewalls and new methods of monitoring.

With two weeks to go, this event is already half full. Register now

In this talk you will find out about some of the hazards of IP media systems and also suggestions for dealing with them. IP installations give great flexibility and will eventually be lower cost than SDI. We all need to know how to make use of this new technology.

There will also be a discussion of modular products in an IP environment. The rise in computer performance means that these can now be software Apps with both IP and SDI connectivity that are well suited to working with computer networks. This brings some interesting questions about timing. How do video synchronisers fit into a software environment with multiple streams of media? “Real time” does not have a lot of meaning in this world. Time stamping saves the day of course, but it is a new way of seeing things.
