How is quick setup achieved with Io IP for Transmitting/Receiving SMPT ST 2110 Video and Audio?

Category: FAQ

Released: 2019-04-10

For SMPTE ST 2110, there are three methods available for setup; SDP, JSON scripts, or manual:

JSON files can be either generated or read via AJA Control Panel, and this file will contain all of the necessary values required in order to set up streams. By adding some basic data such as desired unique IP address of the card, the script will automatically generate the necessary IP addresses for both SFPs. As such, you should leave a minimum of 2 IP addresses for a single Io IP on the media network; i.e., don’t assign each of multiple Io IPs sequential IP addresses, as the script requires two per card.

SDP stands for Session Description Protocol and is a format for describing streaming media communication parameters. SDP itself doesn’t deliver any media but is used between endpoints for negotiation of media type, format, and associated properties. SDPs are very user friendly, in that they can be copied from fields inside AJA Control Panel and simply pasted into a receiver interface (e.g., IPR-10G2-HDMI, IPR-10G2-SDI, IPR-10G-HDMI) and video will be routed. Note that SDP requires a network and therefore cannot be used in point-to-point configurations.

With SMPTE ST 2110 you can set up network configuration manually, but this process is complex and should be tackled by an IT administrator.

For SMPTE ST 2022-6, Io IP network setup is quite straightforward and therefore done manually in AJA Control Panel software at this time. Please consult the Io IP Manual.
