The Role of Measurement Tools in ST 2110 Workflows
THE CRITICAL NEED FOR SPECIALIZED MEASUREMENT IN IP BROADCAST
Without dedicated test and monitoring solutions, issues such as packet loss, timing drift, or incorrect stream formatting can go undetected until they impact live production, leading to costly downtime and degraded viewer experience.
ATLAS NG is the all-in-one solution from PROMAX to analyze broadcast signals, from the studio to the user outlet, supporting ST2110 protocols and available in rack or standalone, battery-powered formats.
HOW PROMAX ATLAS NG EMPOWERS BROADCAST ENGINEERS DURING ST 2110 SIGNAL ANALYSIS
The ATLAS NG offers a powerful yet intuitive platform tailored for the unique demands of ST 2110 environments:
- Integrated ST 2110 Analysis: video and audio streams in-depth monitoring.
- Advanced PTP Tools: continuous monitoring of clock synchronization, highlighting offsets and delays that could affect audio-video alignment.
- Comprehensive Packet-Level Diagnostics: Engineers can drill down into packet flows to identify issues such as packet loss or out-of-order sequences, helping to diagnose network or device faults rapidly.
- Flexibility: a portable and battery-based instrument that allows the engineers to move and check several points of the network.

DELIVERING CONFIDENCE AND EFFICIENCY
By integrating the ATLAS NG broadcast analyzer into the IP broadcast workflow, engineers gain a critical tool that bridges the gap between traditional signal monitoring and the complexities of IP media transport. This ensures faster troubleshooting, reduced downtime, and smoother operations in ST 2110 deployments.
Conclusion
EMBRACING THE FUTURE OF BROADCAST WITH CONFIDENCE
The migration to SMPTE ST 2110 represents a pivotal shift in how broadcast media is produced, managed, and delivered. However, this transition also introduces new technical challenges that require precise timing, robust network design, and comprehensive monitoring to maintain the highest standards of signal quality.
Implementing an ST 2110 workflow is not just about adopting a new standard—it demands tools that can guarantee correct operation from day one and throughout ongoing operations. Detecting timing issues, packet loss, or synchronization errors early prevents costly disruptions and preserves viewer experience.
