How to Successfully Commission a SMPTE ST 2059/PTP System

Every 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.
