IP – ST 2110 Solutions

A well-designed IP fabric utilizing ST 2110 allows linear growth beyond the limits of traditional SDI topologies. IP fabrics can be sized to accommodate the largest of facilities and offer more flexible growth than fixed-size baseband routing solutions.

Leverage IP for the flexibility and scalability in the core, but still retain the simplified interconnect that an SDI infrastructure offers. Interconnecting SDI islands with local routing to an enterprise-wide IP fabric provides the best of both worlds while protecting existing equipment investment.

Control of your infrastructure needs to be intuitive, regardless of the underlying architecture. A unified control system can manage SDI, IP, and hybrid installations. Integrated tielines and path-finding bridge signals between domains seamlessly allowing operators to get signals where they need with ease.

ST 2110 IP infrastructure enables multiple signals per cable carried on lightweight optical fiber. This significantly reduces the space, weight and cable management overhead of traditional infrastructures.

Traditional systems employ dedicated infrastructure for each signal type. With IP infrastructures, the endpoint maps any content to standard IP packets, allowing the core connectivity to be agnostic to the signal types. This allows new signal types to be introduced to the fabric without infrastructure changes.

IP infrastructures simplify the integration of software processing and virtualization. Common network interfaces on generic processing hardware provide access to any media on the network, unlocking the flexibility of software-based media processing.
