ST 2110 Solutions: Practical Considerations Derived From Real Customer Experiences

This presentation will discuss the key interoperability and architectural considerations for VSF-TR07 and SMPTE ST 2110. There are multiple layers to consider, making many practical end-to-end solutions complex. Although the standardisation layers work, synchronisation and management of ST 2110 essences can be difficult. While the codec used in JPEG XS is generic and inherently works with sub-frame delay, it is essential that the rest of the delivery chain is properly optimised to avoid adding extra frames of delay. The next industry goal should be to offer NMOS control for the entire solution: Achieving this for the VSF TR07 domain requires some standardization focus.​ The high flexibility of the standard, coupled with some manufacturer’s desire to rigidly enforce their approach towards ​implementation, is creating a degree of unnecessary vendor lock-in in some cases. ​
