SMPTE 2110 training course description

This practical course provides a comprehensive introduction to SMPTE ST 2110 and its role in modern IP based media systems. The course covers uncompressed video, Audio-over-IP, and ancillary data as separate essences, with comparisons to compressed workflows via ST 2110-22. Participants will explore key standards including ST 2110-10 to -60, PTP-based timing and synchronisation, QoS, multicast delivery, and AMWA NMOS (IS-04 to IS-10) with recommended practices. Each module is reinforced with hands-on labs involving packet analysis, stream inspection, and protocol troubleshooting

What will you learn
  • Explain how ST-2110 transports video, audio and data over IP.
  • Analyse essence flows with Wireshark.
  • Troubleshoot and test multicast networks.
  • Explain the role of PTP in ST 2110.
  • Compare uncompressed and compressed workflows including ST 2110-22.
  • Use AMWA NMOS to discover, register and connect ST 2110 devices.
