The Artel Fiberlink ST2110-TD Single or Dual Channel ST2110 to SDI (3G/HD-SDI) Throw-Down Units offer bi-directional, multi-channel 3G/HD-SDI <-> ST2110 Encapsulation and De-Encapsulation.
High bandwidth 3Gbps SDI signals, are Encapsulated "packaged" into separate, synchronized TCP/IP streams (video, audio, data) as defined by the SMPTE ST 2110 standard. De-encapsulation "un-packages" the ST 2110 IP flows back into high-quality SDI enabling hybrid SDI and ST2110 networks and facilitating migration of broadcast environments to "all-IP" infrastructure.
HD-BNC ports are used for 3G/HD-SDI connectivity, supporting 1 or 2 channels of independent SDI signals. Each channel processes one (1) video flow (SMPTE ST2110-10/20/21), audio flows (SMPTE 2110-10/30/31) and one data flow for ancillary data (SMPTE 2110-10/40)
The product leverages Precision Timing (PTP) for synchronization across all streams to ensure packets are precisely assembled, reassembled, ordered and synchronized across Ethernet infrastructure using PTP switches, such as the Artel Quarra products.
The unit comes as a standard Throw Down box and uses NMOS for in-band control and configuration.
The Fiberlink ST2110-TD offers a scalable, reliable, and flexible bi-directional interoperability between SDI and ST2110 for modern broadcast and production environments for seamless interworking between SDI and IP-based workflows.
The Artel FiberLink, DigiLink and SMART products are designed to enable Broadcasters to move from SDI to IP infrastructure over time and at pace, while future-proofing IP adoptions with 12G and 4K video today with software upgradability in the future.
