Course Overview
This 10h blended learning course provides an in-depth technical exploration of SMPTE ST 2110, the industry-standard suite of protocols for transporting professional media over IP networks. Designed for engineers, system integrators, and broadcast technicians, this program covers the fundamentals and advanced principles of ST 2110, including uncompressed and compressed video, audio, data encapsulation, synchronization, redundancy, and network traffic shaping.
Through structured modules, learners will design, implement, and troubleshoot ST 2110-based IP workflows, preparing them to confidently transition from SDI to IP-based production environments.
Prior experience with IP networking and digital video/audio standards is recommended.
