4K Video over SMPTE 2022-5/6 Workflows
The next generation of live television is here! Unfortunately, the necessary bandwidth for ultrahigh-definition-television resolution video and higher frame rates for live uncompressed video transport is not. Uncompressed 4K video at 60 frames/s 4:2:2 requires 12 Gbits/s and even more for 4:4:4, which causes a problem for video transport across 10 Gbit/s Ethernet networks. “Lightly compressed” 4K is needed to fit in a single 10 Gbit Ethernet (GbE) cable. For the industry's existing and deployed infrastructure, the compression has to be capable of leveraging the already deployed SMPTE ST 2022-5/6 equipment.1,2 Visually lossless compression for a single 4K stream over a 10 GbE link is also ideal. This paper explores the issues described and suggests the technologies required to fix the problem.
