Upgrade your Broadcasts & Live Productions with SMPTE ST2110 Workflows

The SMPTE ST 2110 Professional Media Over Managed IP Networks suite of standards is a major contributing factor in the movement toward one common internet protocol (IP)-based mechanism for the professional media industries. The impact goes beyond just replacing serial digital interface (SDI) with IP to the concept of having the flexibility to come up with a whole new set of applications based on, and leveraged off, information technology (IT) protocols and infrastructure. SMPTE ST 2110 may be implemented for broadcasters and live production of professional media over managed IP networks. 

SMPTE ST2110 is a pivotal standard for the broadcast industry, facilitating the separate transmission of video, audio, and metadata over IP networks. Broadfield’s commitment to staying ahead of industry trends ensures that they offer the latest ST2110-compliant products including the Panasonic Kairos, Matrox, RED Connect, Netgear and more.

Panasonic KAIROS

 Panasonic KAIROS is a live production platform that gives professionals unlimited control to deliver rich content for broadcast, large screen display and live streams. KAIROS adds ST 2110 to its standard baseband and streaming connectivity for unparalleled input/output flexibility that pairs perfectly with the content creation flexibility of its GPU/CPU processing. The user will simply see an intuitive layer-based interface, and powerful content creation with a quick learning curve. 

Matrox ConvertIP

Matrox ConvertIP DSS SDI/IP converter has been proven compatible with Panasonic’s all-IP KAIROS live video production platform. ConvertIP DSS makes it possible to integrate traditional SDI signaling and processing into a SMPTE ST 2110 environment, thereby bridging the gap between the KAIROS and SDI devices. With ConvertIP DSS in the KAIROS workflow, KAIROS users can drive SDI monitors or ingest SDI signals into their vision mixer during live productions and traditional broadcasts.

The Panasonic KAIROS with ST 2110 Production Ecosystem offers operational efficiency and creativity that can be elevated with an IP video-production system connecting PTZ and studio cameras with the IT/IP platform. KAIROS is more than a typical switcher as it frees you from the constraints of a traditional hardware-based system. KAIROS offers unrestricted flexibility of input, output, and operation for the efficient production of live video that captivates audiences. Here are the key benefits of deploying the KAIROS solution for your live video processing needs. 

Matrox Convert IP Easily Converts your Existing Sources to ST2110 and is Recommended for KAIROS Production Systems

Matrox ConvertIP DSS SDI/IP converter has been proven compatible with Panasonic’s all-IP KAIROS live video production platform. ConvertIP DSS makes it possible to integrate traditional SDI signaling and processing into a SMPTE ST 2110 environment, thereby bridging the gap between the KAIROS and SDI devices. With ConvertIP DSS in the KAIROS workflow, KAIROS users can drive SDI monitors or ingest SDI signals into their vision mixer during live productions and traditional broadcasts.  

The ConvertIP DSS/KAIROS integration will be especially useful in live production environments, such as concert venues and stadiums, where there’s a large amount of video driving many screens and projectors. As a native ST 2110-based vision mixer, the KAIROS will mix live content with graphics and video clips to create multiple simultaneous compositions to drive display devices throughout a facility. A ConvertIP DSS can sit at any endpoint to bring SDI feeds in or out of the ST 2110 media network where the KAIROS platform operates.
