PTP Done Right For ST-2110

In this episode of Broadcast2Post, Key Code Media dives into one of the most critical and most misunderstood pieces of a ST 2110 deployment: PTP timing. As newsrooms, stadiums, and live production facilities move to IP, timing is no longer a black box in the rack room- it’s a live network service that can make or break your entire workflow.

We’ll walk through how PTP actually works in real-world ST 2110 plants, why timing issues often show up as “random glitches” in cameras, multiviewers, replay, and audio, and what you need to get right with profiles, boundary clocks, BMCA, and QoS. Then we’ll log into an actual PTP / timing monitoring system on screen so you can see what “healthy” vs “uh-oh” looks like: grandmaster status, domains, offsets, jitter, and the kind of alarms you really want before you go to air.

This session will be essential learning for broadcast engineers, IT/network teams, engineering managers, and technical leads working on IP-based news, sports, and live production facilities-whether you’re planning your first ST 2110 build, adding IP islands to an SDI plant, or just trying to figure out if your current PTP setup is as solid as it should be.

Our goal is to help your team make better decisions around timing architecture, vendor selection, network design, and day-two operations- so PTP becomes the most boring part of your system (in the best possible way). Don’t miss this free live-streamed discussion and stick around till the end for a Q&A with our engineering team.
