This document discusses IP interfaces for video production and summarizes the benefits of IP-based systems compared to SDI. It provides examples of IP-enabled video switchers and control systems from Sony and Grass Valley. The rest of the document discusses standards organizations and specifications that enable IP interoperability such as SMPTE ST 2110, AES67, and AIMS. It also summarizes IP routing and processing platforms like Grass Valley's GV Node and control systems like Lawo's VSM.

Products with New IP Interfaces

6. IP advantages !!??
• Flexibility  upgradeability and future expansion
• Format agnostic  1080p, UHD, HDR, HFR and beyond
• Cost saving and efficiency  less cabling, quicker installation, easier to
maintain
• Agility – Building a platform for the enabling of virtualized services
• Highest reliability – can be no less than what has come before (SDI served us
well)
• No limitation on a single vendor  highest level of interoperability, breeds
best in class products

– ST 2022-x standards take payloads from specialized electrical interfaces and puts them on IP
using RTP (The electrical interfaces are ASI and SDI) (Over 75 of mappings into MPEG TS)
ST 2022-x standards Overview

22. 22
ST 2022-6: SDI over RTP
–SMPTE 2022-6 is the most common uncompressed video format
–2022-6 can be thought of as intra-facility or transport from one broadcast core to another.
–It contains all the elements of current SDI

23. – RTP packets replicated for transmission on multiple diverse paths
– Recoverable if at least one copy makes it through one path, within receiver buffer limitations
– SMPTE ST 2022-7 Seamless protection of ST 2022 IP Datagrams
– Originally for SMPTE ST 2022-6 streams.

24. SMPTE ST 2110 Professional Media over IP Infrastructure

25. SMPTE ST 2110 – 10 (System Timing – RTP, SMPTE ST 2059, SDP)
SMPTE ST 2110 – 20 (Uncompressed Video – RFC 4175)
SMPTE ST 2110 – 21 (Performance of transmitters – packet pacing, bursts, gaps)
SMPTE ST 2110 – 30 (Uncompressed Audio – AES67)
SMPTE ST 2110 – 31 (Compressed Audio – non-PCM/AES3, Guardband aware, stereo)
SMPTE ST 2110 – 40 (Ancillary Data – VANC based on IETF ANC 291)
SMPTE ST 2110 – 50 (SMPTE ST 2022-6 Essence, Support for legacy SMPTE ST 2022-6 infrastructure)
25
The SMPTE ST 2110 suite of standards!

26. 26
Why AES67?
Same protocol is needed!!

27. SMPTE 2110 (TR-03/04)
– Video, Audio and Data are ALL separate streams using RTP (Real-time Transport Protocol)
– For Audio processing, the audio is simply picked up, processed and sent outbound
– Note that this doesn’t require an inherent embedding and de-embedding
27Session Description Protocol

28. SMPTE 2059
• ST 2059 specifies the phase of a given frame rate (sequence) at a specific instant in the past, called the SMPTE
epoch .

29. The JT-NM (Joint Task Force on Networked Media) Roadmap
– Which standards and specifications enable the JT-NM Reference Architecture
– How the range of underlying technologies is expected to evolve
– When it is expected that those standards and specifications be widely available to build
interoperable multi-vendor systems
– Note that timescales shown are approximate and may vary depending on the speed of
industry developments.
