Instructors:

Kristof Van der Veken has a diverse work experience spanning multiple roles and industries. Kristof is currently employed at EVS Broadcast Equipment, where they started in October 2009 as a Senior Project Engineer and has progressed to the position of Senior Solutions Architect Live IP. Prior to this, they worked at Erudict Media Solutions as a Technical Account Manager, Product Specialist, and Project Manager from January 2006 to July 2009. Before that, they were a Product Specialist and Project Manager at Lines Broadcast Systems from April 1997 to December 2005. Kristof also gained experience as a Support Manager at United Telecom in early 1997. Earlier in their career, they worked at VT4 as a Responsible for automation playout from October 1994 to December 1996 and at PK Electronics as a Technician from March 1994 to September 1994.

Learning Objectives

  • Explain how IPv4 addressing, subnet masks, VLANs, Layer 2 forwarding, and Layer 3 routing determine how devices communicate in media networks .
  • Calculate and validate subnet ranges, usable host ranges, and point-to-point addressing schemes appropriate for broadcast IP environments.
  • Differentiate and evaluate unicast, broadcast, and multicast transport behaviors, including the operational roles of TCP, UDP, IGMP, and multicast control mechanisms in high-bitrate media workflows.
  • Interpret the roles of SMPTE ST 2022 and the SMPTE ST 2110 suite in transporting professional media over IP.
  • Analyze SDP and PTP information to determine how ST 2110 flows are described, how timing is distributed, and how synchronization behavior affects operation across a media network.
  • Describe NMOS-based discovery, registration, connection management, and interoperability concepts to support manageable, standards-based ST 2110 system deployment and operation.

Course Overview

Welcome to the Essentials of Media over IP (EMIP) course. This course is available free of charge to anyone interested—both members and non-members—thanks to the generous support of our partner, EVS Broadcast Equipment SA.

Developed through a collaboration between experts from the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) and EVS, with Kristof Van der Veken as the primary contributor, this course provides a foundational introduction to Media over IP technologies and workflows. It is designed for professionals who are new to the field or looking to expand their knowledge.

An added feature of this course enables you to select Closed Captions in the video lectures. The languages available for CC include English, Español, Français, Deutsch, and Japanese. 

This program provides broadcast and media-technology professionals with a foundation to help understand and apply the networking, transport, timing, control, and interoperability concepts required for media-over-IP systems. Learners progress from IP fundamentals such as addressing, switching, routing, subnetting, and multicast, into the professional media standards and control-plane mechanisms that define modern ST 2110 deployments, including ST 2022, ST 2110 essence transport, SDP, PTP synchronization, NMOS discovery/connection workflows, and interoperability guidance for manageable, standards-based facilities.
