SMPTE ST 2110 is a set of standards for IP-based media transportation. ST 2110 is a series of standards to enable the elementary essence transport of video, audio and associated data over IP networks. It is best deployed in applications where users require maximum flexibility and reliability. In practice, SMPTE 2110 should work in much the same way that NDI works… but unlike NDI, SMPTE 2110 is designed for uncompressed video and audio that is eminently reliable. As such, video and audio signals and switching equipment is hard-limited to the number of streams that any network connection will support. A 10gbps optical connection can support 6 HD feeds (each of which is 1.5Gbps uncompressed) for example. *Whereas you can get no more than 10Gbps on Cat6 cabling, SMPTE 2110 typically uses fiber with bandwidths of 10, 25, or 100 Gbps. The protocols are the same, but the bandwidth is far faster.*
ST 2110 is a suite of standards that represents a shift towards a more future-proof infrastructure for the production and distribution of media content, while NDI is a software-based protocol that allows video systems to share video, audio, and metadata over IP networks in real-time. *: https://www.renewedvision.com/blog/guide-to-video-standards-sdi-hdmi-ndi-and-smpte-2110
Blackmagic Design has a wide range of SMPTE-2110 IP video products, including converters, video monitors, audio monitors and even cameras! Plus they support Ultra HD using low cost 10G Ethernet! Most converter models are bidirectional, so they're fantastic to use on cameras when you need an extra program return! The rack mount models have an elegant design with a color LCD for monitoring, menus and diagnostics. All models conform to the SMPTE ST-2110 standard for IP video, including PTP clocks and even NMOS support so you can make connections using a video router panel. The Blackmagic 2110 IP Converter 3x3G model even includes a reference video output, timed to the 2110 PTP clock!
The Blackmagic 2110 IP Converters have been designed to integrate SDI equipment into 2110 IP broadcast systems. The rack mount models can be installed in equipment racks right next to the equipment you're converting. However with Blackmagic Studio Cameras, Blackmagic Audio Monitor 12G G3 and the SmartView 4K G3, you can build most of your SMPTE-2110 system without converters! Plus most Blackmagic SMPTE-2110 IP video products can be remote powered! But adding converters means you get a low cost way to transform all your video equipment to SMPTE-2110. Simply add a Blackmagic 2110 IP Converter to live production switchers, disk recorders, streaming processors, cameras, TVs and more.
Blackmagic 2110 IP Converters are available in models with RJ-45 connectors for simple Cat6 copper cables or SFP sockets for optical fiber modules and cables. Using simple Cat6 copper cables means you can build SMPTE-2110 systems at a dramatically lower cost. The cables are simple and Ethernet switches for 10G Ethernet are very common. In most cases, modern buildings already have 10G Ethernet cable installed, so you can use the cables you already have! Plus copper cables can remote power devices such as converters and cameras. There are also models for optical fiber Ethernet. Optical fiber at 10G speed is much lower cost than 25G or 40G Ethernet. You can even use 3G, 6G or 12G‑SDI modules!
One of the biggest problems with SMPTE-2110 is needing an IT tech on standby to keep video systems running. Blackmagic 2110 IP converters solve this problem because they can connect point to point, so you don't need to use a complex Ethernet switch if you don't want to. That means you get the advantage of SMPTE-2110 IP video with simple Ethernet cables, remote power and bidirectional video. It’s just like an SDI workflow. You can plug cameras into rack converters and get all the camera control, program video, power and tally, with a single cable. Or connect an HDMI converter to a rack converter for remote monitors. Everything automatically configures and just works. more on: https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/blackmagic2110ipconverter and on: https://www.videoexpert.eu/en/blackmagic-2110-ip-converters/
You can connect the converters point to point with a simple Ethernet cable between the converters. An example is between a rack and a monitor converter or camera. The point to point connection auto configures so you don't need to enter any settings. It's a simple cable that you just plug in! With point to point connections, you get the perfect solution for live events as the Ethernet cable can make connecting to cameras extremely simple with all control, power and video down a single cable.
When working in larger SMPTE-2110 systems, such as broadcast, you can connect all your video gear to an Ethernet switch. In this case, you just plug everything into the Ethernet switch and then make the connections between devices by configuring the Ethernet switch. It works just like a large video router as all connections are made between the SMPTE-2110 devices. Plus all Blackmagic 2110 IP products support the NMOS protocol. It's more complex to configure, but is totally flexible!
The Blackmagic Ethernet Switch 360P is the first Ethernet switch designed for the film and television industry! It has extremely high performance plus low latency. All the Ethernet connections are on the rear, which means the cables are neater, hidden from users and more secure. You get 16 fast 10G Ethernet ports and 2 extremely high speed 100G Ethernet QSFP sockets for copper cables or optical fiber modules. Plus there’s a router panel built into the front so you can set 2110 IP multicasting using familiar video routing so you don't need a team of IT technicians! Users won't even know they're routing SMPTE-2110! It's a simple plug and play solution with everything needed for television work!
