Emulating real-world network conditions to verify applications & systems
The challenge of making the switch from SDI to IP networks.
Overcoming network challenges in modern broadcast transmission
Serial Digital Interface (SDI) has, until recently, been the preferred transport mechanism for broadcast transmission. The shift to IP brings challenges, notably the unpredictability and inconsistency of network performance.
This leads to issues such as latency, jitter, packet loss, which particularly affect video transmission and can jeopardize Quality of Service (QoS) unless appropriate steps are taken.
Comprehensive testing ensures QoS and reliability in real-world conditions.
Mitigating risks in broadcast networks
A comprehensive test program is the most effective way to offset the risk of failure or reduced QoS in a broadcast network. For example, incorporating WAN emulation allows for the simulation of realistic network conditions, ensuring that the network can handle real-world scenarios effectively.
SMPTE standards
The Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) plays an active role in defining new standards to allow for the increased adoption of IP-based networks for broadcast. The standards suite such as ST 2110, ST 2022 set out a framework of best practices to facilitate the adoption of IP networks in broadcasting, ensuring smoother deployments.
How to test video to SMPTE ST 2110
Ensuring network compliance with SMPTE ST 2110-21 standards is essential for maintaining high-quality video transmission. Discover more about these standards, the range of impairments applicable during ST 2110-21 testing, and a detailed test procedure to verify network system compliance with ST 2110-21 standards in the Calnex Solution Brief.
Testing broadcast applications with impairments
Calnex, alongside Francois Gagnon, Lead Test Engineer for Riedel Montreal, engage in a collaborative discussion on utilizing network emulators to demonstrate compliance with SMPTE ST 2110 and ST 2022 standards.
