Top three informational takeaways for the audience - Requirements of an IP system - What is ST 2110 and how it works - Why ST 2110 is so significant to the future of broadcast This is tutorial paper. The industry has begun the shift from SDI to IP with initial deployments being based on SMPTE ST 2022, ASPEN, or IP Live. While each of these solutions has its merits, they also have limitations, such as not supporting breakaway audio, or not being fully standardized. With the move to IP, the industry has a set of requirements that an IP system needs to fulfil. None of SMPTE ST 2022, ASPEN, IP Live, Ravenna or Dante meet all the requirements. VSF Technical Recommendations 03 and 04 (TR03, TR04) were developed to address the gaps these systems had in meeting the requirements. e.g., breaking the video, audio and ANC essence data into separate RTP streams. While an improvement, TR03 and TR04 also did not meet all the requirements. SMPTE ST 2110 builds on the work of TR03 and TR04, has input from a wide range of industry experts and vendors, and addresses of the industry's requirements to create one standard to rule them all. Even before being published, ST 2110 has gained substantial market support, been included in the Alliance for IP Media Solutions (AIMS) roadmap and featured in the largest interop event in our industry's history. This presentation will explain what are the industry's requirements, what ST 2110 is, what it does, how it addresses all the industry's requirement and why it is so significant to the future of broadcast.

SMPTE (pronounced "simp-tee"), the organization whose standards work has supported a century of advances in entertainment technology and whose membership spans the globe, holds the SMPTE Annual Technical Conference & Exhibition in Los Angeles each October. The event is considered the world's premier forum for the exploration of media and entertainment technology. More information about this year’s upcoming event is available at www.smpte2018.org.
The people of the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers, or SMPTE, have sorted out the details of many significant advances in media and entertainment technology, from the introduction of "talkies" and color television to HD and UHD (4K, 8K) TV. Since its founding in 1916, SMPTE has received an Oscar® and multiple Emmy® Awards for its work in advancing moving-imagery engineering across the industry. SMPTE has developed thousands of standards, recommended practices, and engineering guidelines, more than 800 of which are currently in force today. SMPTE Time Code™ and the ubiquitous SMPTE Color Bars™ are just two examples of SMPTE's notable work. As it enters its second century, SMPTE is shaping the next generation of standards and providing education for the industry to ensure interoperability as the industry evolves further into IT- and IP-based workflows. Visit www.smpte.org for more information.
SMPTE's global membership today includes more than 7,000 members: motion-imaging executives, creatives, technologists, researchers, and students who volunteer their time and expertise to SMPTE's standards development and educational initiatives. A partnership with the Hollywood Professional Association (HPA) connects SMPTE and its membership with the businesses and individuals who support the creation and finishing of media content. Information on joining SMPTE is available at www.smpte.org/join.
