TR-1001 IP Media Networks
(Video Over IP, SMPTE ST 2022/ ST 2110, PTP, NMOS & More)
3 days (Flexible)
Overview
This training course covers everything you need to know about IP-based networking for Media Production. It covers all the essential network protocols and standards for uncompressed video over IP as well as looking at how to make such systems work through the use of PTP and new NMOS specifications.
The course is normally presented over 3 days including some hands-on workshops. It can be simplified to cover all topics in 2 days and by removing the hands-on sessions.
Target Audience & Outcomes
Anyone working in a technical role requiring a good grounding in networking for broadcast/media production or those who have already been working with the technology but perhaps needs to take a step back and understand it all properly.
Attendees of this course will be able to explain how IP networks function and how they are being used by the various standards for uncompressed video and audio over IP. Attendees will also have up to date knowledge of JT-NM TR-1001 and the requirements it sets out for a functional media network using control level protocols such as NMOS.
