Course Overview - Now Available in Multiple Languages!
Welcome to an updated course on SMPTE ST 2110. 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, Japanese, and Português.
SMPTE ST 2110 has transformed professional media production by establishing a set of standards that enable the seamless transport of video, audio, and ancillary data over high-performance IP networks. This transition to all-IP media frameworks eliminates the need to replace core infrastructure with every new media signal format.
Led by SMPTE Fellow and Emmy award winner Wes Simpson, this SMPTE Virtual Classroom course equips participants with the knowledge needed to fully leverage SMPTE ST 2110. Updated with the latest standards revisions from 2022 and 2023, the course ensures interoperability across all ST 2110-compliant equipment.
Targeted at engineers and technologists with a basic understanding of IP, the course delves into key aspects such as video, audio, and data encapsulation, synchronization, and traffic shaping—unlocking the full potential of IP-based operations.
