RTW adds SMPTE ST 2110 to TouchMonitors
- Details
The move addresses the growing adoption of new networked audio and video standards from broadcasters. New TM-Dante and TM-Ravenna units will ship with ST 2110 functionality, whilst existing owners will be able to add this option via a free firmware update.
“ST 2110 is the latest standard within audio and video over IP and we expect it to replace SDI solutions over time,” comments Mike Kahsnitz, RTW senior director of product management. “SMPTE ST 2110 is a major contributing factor in the development toward a single IP-based mechanism for the professional broadcaster.
“Like SDI, it carries audio, as well as video and metadata, but unlike SDI, it is based on IP technology, which makes it a true network, rather than point-to-point.
“Broadcast is beginning to make a shift toward a truly networked infrastructure and we obviously want to continue developing our solutions accordingly. In conclusion, truly professional audio meters are now available for broadcasters and content providers that are adopting the new IP-based infrastructure.”
