Innovative Internet Protocol Remote Production Devices using Open Standards 

Growing demand for remote Internet Protocol (IP) production has led to an increase in demand for IP devices. Although it is possible to transmit audio signals using the SMPTE ST2110 standard, detailed control, such as adjusting audio levels and matrix control, is not allowed. Therefore, this study introduces innovative IP remote production devices that use open standards, Ember+, and investigates the use of an open protocol to handle control signals during remote IP production.

Additionally, using open standards for control signals, a device that converts the ST2110 standard and Dante—the major standard in the audio industry—for IP remote production, including control signals, is developed.

By using this converter with ST2110 compatible devices and Dante-compatible devices, we demonstrated its usefulness for IP remote production of the converter.
