For years broadcaster engineers have designed their facilities and used Blackburst as their tried and trusted reference signal. Then along came IP and the introduction of Media-over-IP and a new reference signal, Precision Time Protocol (PTP).
Now, most facilities are having to gradually migrate from SDI to IP and like the culture clash between traditional broadcast engineers and the new breed of IP broadcast engineers, both BB and PTP have to co-exsist, if the migration from SDI to be seamless and pain-free.
At Leader we have 70 years experience of helping our customers manage technology transitions, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that we have been working on a product that combines both the traditional BB/TLS, Audio reference signals and SDI test pattern signals, as well as PTP and IP test patterns in a single product.
Join Steve and Kevin as they discuss the new Leader LT4670 Hybrid IP and SDI Sync Pulse Generator and how the customer challenges they have heard from early IP adopters have been overcome with the new LT4670.
So, irrespective of whether you have an operation SMPTE 2110 facility, or you are making your first tentative steps on your IP migration journey, Steve and Kevin will have something of interest for you.
Whether you missed NAB 2024 this year, you spent plenty of time at the Leader and PHABRIX booth, or somewhere in between – this quick and lively discussion is a great chance to get your burning questions answered.
