As media production moves fully into IP, performance, security, and workflow integration become tightly linked. This session examines three critical pillars of modern ST 2110 environments: empirical cybersecurity testing that exposes hidden vulnerabilities in multicast and NMOS control planes; JPEG XS as a unifying mezzanine format bridging live IP and file-based production workflows; and performance optimization of ST 2110 applications on COTS hardware using DPUs to offload networking and JPEG XS processing. Together, these papers provide a practical roadmap for building secure, efficient, and scalable IP-based production infrastructures ready for hybrid live and post workflows.

Session includes Best Student Paper Award Winner.
