SMPTE Roadshow: ST 2110 Bootcamp
Real-World Training for Today’s IP Media Systems

The SMPTE ST 2110 IP Media Roadshow, led by the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers, is a hands-on, full-day training program for media professionals navigating the shift from SDI to IP-based production. The program focuses on how IP systems perform in real broadcast, live production and hybrid SDI-IP environments.

Hands-On Training by the Professionals Setting the Standards
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.
Participants gained:
- A clear understanding of the core ST 2110 suite
- Insight into how adjacent technologies — including IPMX, NDI, Dante, and JPEG-XS — fit into the broader ecosystem
- A shared vocabulary to improve collaboration across engineering, IT and operations teams
- The ability to assess deployment risks
- Greater confidence in infrastructure decisions
- Practical knowledge to support IP-based system design and planning
This bootcamp is designed for:
- Broadcast and media engineers
- Systems integrators
- Live and remote production teams
- Media IT and cloud professionals
- Technical managers leading IP transitions
6 Bootcamp Modules
The workshop is structured around six modules, moving from foundational concepts to applied system design through hands-on instruction.
Module 1: ST 2110 Foundations and 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. Latency considerations and keeping audio and video in sync across the IP infrastructure are considered.
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 to avoid 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.
