Presenter, Roundtable
Topic and Description
Presentation Topic: IPMX Makes Network Easy
Description: IPMX is a standard in development based on ST 2110. ST 2110 has been deployed successfully in broadcast environments all over the world. Existing ST 2110 deployments are mostly uncompressed AV requiring high bandwidth sophisticated network equipment. IPMX is targeting the Pro AV space where an open standard for AV over IP is needed but where support for less sophisticated networks is also a major requirement. The presentation explains how IPMX aims to enable building AV over IP solutions using a wide variety of network equipment and infrastructure; from 1G over Cat5e cables to 100G over fiber, and beyond. We will cover network switches and some of the feature requirements that come with IPMX. One of the key differences between ST2110 and IPMX we will cover is the fact that IPMX is designed to work without the presence of a PTP Grandmaster on the network. We will review some of the workflows typical of Pro AV and how they can be achieved using IPMX without PTP. We will also see how PTP can be used by IPMX to achieve advanced workflows where the additional synchronization provided by PTP is beneficial. We will also explain how some of the timing specification differences in IPMX versus ST 2110 are designed to enable the use of non PTP aware switches and the use of less sophisticated PTP Grandmasters.
