SDI to IP Transition
The infrastructure we use to deliver content is in transition from a traditional point-to-point Serial Digital Interface (SDI) based infrastructure to an Internet Protocol (IP) infrastructure, mandating new workflows and solutions. This clash in domains, from video engineers’ comfort with SDI to network engineers’ familiarity with IP, will require a bridge to foster collaboration between broadcast engineers and IT experts to troubleshoot issues in this new hybrid SDI/IP environment
We at Telestream understand your needs and come uniquely equipped to simplify these challenges with trusted expertise and comprehensive solutions.
Informative and customizable tile displays enable faster analysis and correlation.ST 2110 and ST 2022-6 Analysis and Diagnostics
The move to an IP based infrastructure cannot come at the expense of insight into your content. Broadcast engineers must know what content is being carried on the network, and be able to diagnose faults as they occur. The use of ST 2110 and ST 2022-6 IP has introduced new failure modes to the broadcast environment such as PTP set up and accuracy, redundant path testing, packet loss and jitter, multiple Audio and Data streams associated with a single Video asset. Engineers need a new set of displays and tools to understand what is happening on their network coupled with a familiar set of tools to ensure that their content is correct and meets quality standards.
Telestream’s solutions for managing the shift from SDI to IP offer high visibility into these new signals, including a comprehensive set of IP measurements to complement familiar SDI measurements, allowing engineers to quickly address problems with their content.
Easy to read PTP Graphs with Session Details and Timing.PTP Synchronization in IP Video
Early IP installations were based on the SMPTE ST 2022-6 standard in which the Video, Audio, and Data essence of the content was encapsulated into a single UDP/RTP stream. By default, this meant that content was synchronized together. Consequently, Engineers in these facilities could choose to use either PTP, Black Burst or Tri-Level Sync as a mechanism to synchronize the facility. SMPTE ST 2110 changes the game for synchronization design. In this standard the Video, Audio, and Data essence is carried in separate streams on the IP network and so it is essential that PTP is used as the synchronization mechanism on these networks.
PRISM Waveform Monitor can scale with Inspect 2110 monitoring solutions to lock to multiple timing references including PTP and then provide comprehensive analysis and measurement of these signals. This allows engineers to see and solve system issues related to PTP setup and distribution on the network.
