Wide Area Networks for Both High- and Low-End SMPTE ST 2110 Workflows
Alexander Sandstrom
SMPTE ST 2110 supports both uncompressed 1 and compressed video clippings, 2 which allow it to be used in live production workflows for both high- and low-value content. However, high- and low-end live production require different quality and have very different budgets. In addition, although the entire quality spectrum will use the same set of standards, building a wide-area network (WAN) that provides the quality demanded by high-end live production, while also meeting the price pressure from low-end live production, is also challenging. The solution is a WAN that can seamlessly mix both private (dedicated) and public (Internet) infrastructures.
