HHS Modernizes Broadcast Infrastructure with SMPTE ST 2110 IP Workflow Upgrade
By Stephanie R
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has completed a major broadcast infrastructure modernization project, transitioning its HHSTV facility from legacy SDI architecture to a fully IP-based SMPTE ST 2110 environment. Led by systems integrator CHESA, the project replaced aging routing, monitoring, and signal processing systems with a scalable broadcast infrastructure designed for future UHD and 12G workflows.
The new deployment includes dual-path SMPTE ST 2022-7 redundancy across all signal flows, Cisco Nexus 9000 networking, EVS Cerebrum orchestration, Imagine Communications SNP edge processing, and Riedel Bolero wireless intercom systems. The facility now supports software-defined routing, centralized management, and significantly improved operational reliability across multiple production spaces inside the Hubert H. Humphrey Building in Washington, D.C.
A major focus of the project was eliminating single points of failure while simplifying long-term scalability. By integrating NMOS-managed ST 2110 workflows and dual-fabric redundancy, HHS gained a broadcast infrastructure capable of supporting future format expansion without requiring major hardware replacement.
