The IABM devotes a lot of effort to supporting and helping to develop the standards that underpin the technology in broadcast and media. Much of that effort occurs ‘behind the scenes’ – we attend SMPTE and AES meetings and contribute to the smooth introduction of standards and improvement of their content. While there are many other standards bodies that are relevant to members, we have selected these two as the best places to channel our resources.
We feel that it is important to encourage greater engagement with IABM members to ensure that their views are understood and contributed. This article will focus on what the IABM does and how technologists in member companies can stay in touch with standards developments with just a small investment of their valuable time.

Thomas Edwards – VP Engineering & Development, FOX Thomas will explain the benefits of SMPTE ST 2110 with respect to virtualization. [maxbutton id="106" ] [maxbutton id="107" ]
Ed Calverley – Product Manager, Suitcase TV This session looks at how the current standards work is enabling true end-to-end IP-based production and how standards such as SMPTE ST 2110 enable systems to interoperate in a much more flexible way than was possible with SDI. As an example, during the Euro 2016 soccer tournament a time compensated 2-stage switching solution was frame accurately controlled over a limited-bandwidth link.

Phil Myers – Product Manager, Snell Advanced Media (SAM) Phil presents a case study on Broadcasting Center Europe’s new IP broadcast facility, “RTL City”, in Luxembourg, where all its operations are being consolidated. The initial deployment is based around VSF TR-04 using SMPTE ST 2022-7 with COTS IP switches with a seamless migration path to VSF TR-03/SMPTE ST 2110 operation.

Wes Simpson – Consultant, Telecom Product Consulting With the variety of standards species that populate the IP video ecosystem, it can be hard to figure out which ones apply in each situation. Wes provides a spotter’s guide to the species you are most likely to find in an all-IP studio, such as SMPTE ST 2110, IEEE 1588 and NMOS IS-04. Get an overview of each standards species and see how they all work together in the IP video environment.

In 2013, Microsoft Production Studios began pioneering work on a property-wide audio-over-IP production workflow. Through its ties to MSNBC, it forged relationships and shared knowledge with other broadcasters charting the same frontier. In this session, John Ball (Systems Engineer, Microsoft Production Studios) will share practical experience – both successes and lessons learned. Also, as Microsoft has already begun the infrastructure upgrades to accommodate a SMPTE ST 2110 video workflow, practical comparisons can be drawn on the adoption process for audio and video.

When published in late 2017, SMPTE ST 2110 consisted of parts -10, -20 and -30 which cover the fundamental definitions for synchronization and transport of elementary essence for uncompressed video and audio. Meanwhile, further parts of the standard have been, or are to be released shortly, including definitions for AES3 transparent transport. This presentation from Andreas Hildebrand (Technology Evangelist, ALC NetworX GmbH) provides an overview and update on the audio parts of SMPTE ST 2110, including their relationship with AES67.

With standards now ratified, Mark Davies (Director of Products & Technology, TSL Products) shares his experience with real live IP production deployments. These include some of the world’s first IP trucks and fixed studios and the challenges of living up to the format-agnostic promise as early deployments of SMPTE ST 2022-6 mature in record time and transition to SMPTE ST 2110. Not forgetting this new technology still needs to be controlled, timed and secure.
