CTS-D: 1
IP is rapidly becoming the preferred distribution method for both video and audio in AV and broadcast markets. There are several standards and protocols being used and further developments in this area planned. In this session we will describe and explain key options including NDI, Dante AV, SMTPE 2110 variants and IPMX from both a technical perspective and from market adoption standpoint. We will cover CODEC options and technical factors such as latency and good practice for deployment.

How to build a Network will give AV professionals an overview into the main design involved in network streaming applications. The course will introduce key aspects of a streaming network, in particular, content bandwidth requirements, matching content to a network, and security, which are key to a well-produced, professional looking stream. The session will focus on integrating with other teams such as IT professionals, broadcasters, and architects.

How to Design an AV over IP Network
Thu, June 12, 8:30 AM – 10:30 AM, Room W311EF

CTS-D: 2, CTS-I: 2, ANP: 2
This session will explore the challenges facing a system designer who wants to expand an AV-over-IP system beyond a single network switch. How is bandwidth managed? How is multicast handled? These challenges will be carefully laid out followed by best practices and solutions to ensure success.
A major challenge for multi-switch AV-over-IP is that, out of the box, many multicast protocols will flood the network with multicast data. That’s OK if your streams are small, but not if they are large video streams! It’s simple to design an AV-over-IP system with only one network switch, but things get complicated when you need to support hundreds of endpoints over multiple switches. You’ll learn to manage complexities and discover how easy it can be to build massive AV-over-IP systems that scale to any size.
