The SMPTE ST 2110 IP Media Roadshow is a hands-on, full-day training program for media professionals navigating the shift from SDI to IP-based production, focused on how IP systems actually perform in real broadcast, live production, and hybrid SDI-IP environments.

Participants leave with the practical knowledge to implement, troubleshoot, and scale IP systems with confidence — and a shared technical vocabulary that strengthens collaboration across engineering, IT, and operations teams.

The day is built around six modules that combine instruction with applied examples, moving from foundational concepts through to hands-on system design:

• Module 1: ST 2110 Foundations & Systems Architecture — Build a clear picture of how video, audio, and ancillary data are separated into independent streams, transported over IP, and reassembled in a working production environment.

• Module 2: Precision Time Protocol (ST 2059) for Live Production — Cover how ST 2059 enables sample-accurate synchronization across a facility, and how to identify the timing issues that most commonly disrupt live workflows.

• Module 3: Audio over IP in ST 2110 Environments — Explore how audio streams are defined, transported, and managed independently, including latency considerations and keeping audio and video in sync across IP infrastructure.

• Module 4: Network Fabric Design for Media — Address multicast routing, bandwidth planning, and redundancy strategies for networks that reliably carry real-time, uncompressed media.

• Module 5: Deployment and Operational Failure Points — Identify the design decisions and configuration errors that most commonly cause problems in the field, and develop a practical framework for avoiding them.

• Module 6: Team Practicum — Sample RFP and System Design — Apply the day's learning through a collaborative exercise built around a realistic RFP and system design scenario that mirrors real-world IP infrastructure planning.

Beyond the core ST 2110 suite, attendees gain clarity on where adjacent technologies — including IPMX, NDI, Dante, and JPEG-XS — fit into the broader standards landscape.

They'll also come away better prepared to assess deployment risk, make more confident infrastructure decisions, and contribute meaningfully to IP-based project planning from day one.

As the organization that develops and maintains the ST 2110 standards, SMPTE brings a depth of expertise and vendor-neutral perspective that no other training provider can match — connecting specification language directly to operational reality, and equipping attendees to turn standards into working systems.
