How the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 Leveraged the Benefits of ST 2110 and Transitioned Away from Baseband Video Formats - $15
Date: March 21, 2025Topics: 2025 BEITC Proceedings, IP Networks and the Broadcast Chain: Fast FriendsThis paper explores the challenges associated with baseband video formats in large-scale live productions, emphasizing the advantages introduced by SMPTE ST 2110 [1]. By analyzing conventional point-to-point video transmission against IP-based systems, key benefits such as enhanced metadata management, streamlined infrastructure, and increased adaptability are highlighted. A case study of the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 demonstrates how these technologies were applied to improve performance and reliability in a demanding live environment.

How to Optimize ABR Video Delivery With Server-side Quality Control - $15
Date: April 26, 2020Topics: 2020 BEITC Proceedings, Improving OTT Video QualityWith adaptive bitrate streaming, players evaluate the available bandwidth and perform their own quality selection. This approach has several drawbacks. In a fragmented market, each player has a different behavior, causing uneven end-user experiences. In addition, bandwidth evaluation (based on HTTP) may not work in the context of low-latency video streaming, impacting viewers? experience.
This paper will examine an innovative approach wherein the server performs its own bandwidth evaluation (relying on the underlying congestion control) and responds to a player?s segment request with its own selected quality. Experiments have shown the effectiveness of this approach in both unicast and multicast ABR contexts. As the quality selection is centralized, the behaviors of all players is homogeneous, and the service operator can change the selection strategy at any time, providing an unmatched level of control. Low-latency live streaming supports quality switching, since the server-side bandwidth estimate is not based on HTTP.

How to Successfully Commission a SMPTE ST 2059/PTP System - $15
Date: April 26, 2020Topics: 2020 BEITC Proceedings, Media over IP: Security and TimingEvery SMPTE ST 2110 deployment requires an ST 2059/PTP infrastructure. ST 2059/PTP systems are complex and have many subtleties. If done well, ST 2059/PTP systems can easily be deployed and commissioned. Unfortunately, there are many ways that system design and commissioning can go wrong, resulting in months or years of unexplained on-air glitches and gremlins.
This presentation will offer best practices for commissioning ST 2059/PTP systems developed from years of field experiences. This including practical checklists for both simple designs and advanced PTP over ST 2022-7 networks. Techniques to debug and troubleshoot errors found during commissioning will also be discussed.
