Tech Paper 2021: This paper explores the technical challenges of generating ST 2110 video-over-IP streams on standard IT hardware and how they were addressed in a practical software implementation.
Abstract
ST 2110 has been promoted by the industry as a new standard for video-over-IP (Internet Protocol), allowing for live broadcast production to take place using high bandwidth IP networks instead of SDI (Serial Digital Interface) using coaxial cables. However, as it as hardware-centric standard, it has extremely tight timing requirements that make it very difficult to generate streams on standard IT hardware. Achieving this requires solving a large number of technical challenges. This paper will explore these challenges and how they were solved in one of the few practical software implementations.
