As the broadcast industry is now replacing SDI with IP for critical live applications, new ways of measuring, monitoring and fault detection need to be explored. This presentation from Ievgen Kostiukevych (IP Media Architect, European Broadcasting Union) breaks down certain major technical aspects of SMPTE ST 2110 suite, like timestamping and packet delay variation. It also explains the challenges of building software-based SMPTE ST 2110 implementations. The talk will also cover the work of EBU members who are facing the challenges of moving to new IP-based facilities.

How Redundant Paths Work Using SMPTE ST 2022-7 for SMPTE ST 2110 Streams
SDI redundant paths required a frame sync to switch in to aid with a seamless switch over to a redundant feed. Not so with IP. The SMPTE ST 2022-7 is the standard for seamless protection which is packet-based, so no frame sync is required. Merrick Ackermans (Principal Engineer, MVA Broadcast Consulting) explains how this works with SMPTE ST 2110 streams.

Deep dive into SMPTE ST 2110-21 Traffic Shaping and Delivery Timing for Video
Are you sure that the SMPTE ST 2110-20 receiver that you purchased can receive the SMPTE ST 2110-20 streams from all the SMPTE ST 2110-20 transmitters you purchased? What is this “Type N” and “W” all about? Why is there an SMPTE ST 2110-21 standard? In this presentation, Leigh Whitcomb (Architect, Imagine Communications) explains the SMPTE ST 2110-21 standard and examines when equipment is interoperable and not.

SMPTE ST 2110 Step 2: Perfecting the Picture and Sorting the Sound
Optimizing IP Media Designs for Maximum Flexibility & Benefit Based on experience of real-world deployments to-date, Andy Rayner (Chief Technologist, Nevion) will take a look at some of the principles for designing complete systems. Now the basics for SMPTE ST 2110 are complete and 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.

SMPTE ST 2110 infrastructure and IP flow monitoring
Thomas Gunkel (Broadcast Market Director, Skyline Communications) reviews a practical example of a SMPTE ST 2110 UHD OB-truck and the challenges in monitoring its infrastructure and the media-over-IP flows. The presentation explores the most relevant KPIs in an ALL-IP environment, looks at SMPTE ST 2022-7 and PTP monitoring explains how to resolve multicast flow topology in combination with label management and how to present such aggregated data to an operator.

Practical Multi-Vendor Application of SMPTE ST 2110 – Technical Challenges and Solutions
Standards only matter when multiple vendors are at play. Find out from Nestor A. Amaya (Director, IP Solutions and Infrastructure Product Marketing, Ross Video) and François Legrand (Senior Project Manager, CBC) how SMPTE ST 2110 works in real deployments, and what challenges remain. François from CBC will join in this presentation providing an end-user point of view.

BCE’s Journey Video Over IP Infrastructure
BCE broadcasts more than 35 channels through its 100% IP-based infrastructure. Costas Colombus (Director of Technology, BCE) describes how with a very tight schedule, BCE implemented SMPTE ST 2022-7 in its IP workflow in order to be on air in Q1 2017 before the new standard’s publication.

A National Broadcaster’s all IP Media LAN and WAN Infrastructure
When the national broadcaster TV 2 recently relocated both of its locations, an all IP infrastructure for live production was chosen. Ole Johan Skogheim (Head of Systems, TV 2 Norway) describes how the main goal was to reduce impact of distance and to merge production islands’ connecting all resources in a network based infrastructure. Initially based on SMPTE ST 2022-6/-7+AES67, but planned for SMPTE ST 2110 upgrade, the project resulted in a true multi-vendor environment giving TV 2 greater freedom in the allocation of resources and location of operations.

Planning a SMPTE ST-2110 Infrastructure for tpc sports, News and Technology Center in Zurich
tpc Switzerland AG is building a new sports, news and technology center in Zurich. The center will be built fully on an SMPTE ST 2110 infrastructure and as such is one of the largest SMPTE ST 2110 projects in Europe. The start of this project had been announced during NAB Show 2017. Now, 12 months later, Ulrich Voigt (Head of Design, Qvest Media GmbH) and Andreas Lattmann (CTO of tpc Switzerland AG) will jointly describe the journey taken during that time, where PoCs and tests have been conducted, specification and planning work has been performed and RFIs have been issued and evaluated.

Evaluating Features of IP End Points
That shiny new box supports SMPTE ST 2110. Great but what else matters when selecting an IP endpoint? The SMPTE ST 2110 standard provides a robust technical framework upon which vendors build their application solutions. Vendor implementations can and do vary. In this presentation by Patrick Daly (Director of Technology, Diversified), we discuss an approach to evaluating IP endpoints that considers the functional requirements of the end-user’s system and the particulars of the use-case.
