ST2110 Uncompressed Video over IP
Artel FL-ST2110-SFP FiberLink SDI Video to ST2110/ST2022-6 Gateway SFP Module

This revolutionary SFP module plugs into Video Equipment (such as Cameras, Monitors, Playback Servers) that are equipped with MSA or non-MSA compliant SFP Slots (10GBase-SR) and provides encapsulation and de-encapsulation of the SDI data to and from IP using SMPTE ST2110 or ST2022-6.

• SDI Host SFP - This SFP module installs in standard SDI Host SFP transmitting video signals used in broadcast video equipment.
• SMPTE 2110 Encode & Decode - The module Encapsulates and De-Encapsulates SDI Signals on host side over Ethernet/IP using the ST2110 or ST2022-6 standard.
• SDI Formats to 3G - The device auto-senses of HD-SDI to 3G-SDI formats.
• Single or Dual Channel - The MSA pinout only accommodates single channel operation. A non-MSA compliant SFP supports single or dual channel operation
• Interoperable - IP and SMPTE standard-based implementation provides for interoperability with existing IP networks and SMPTE device integrations.
• Modular & Miniature - The SFP pluggable form factor enables high availability, reduced points of failure, and easy maintenance operations. Installed inside existing ethernet switch footprints.
• Cost Savings - Enables deployments using less equipment, fewer cables, and lower power consumption.
• Monitoring - Simple device configuration and monitoring is performed using I2C via a serial interface for alarms, voltage and temperature.
• Standards-based - Follows SMPTE for all essences. Video according to ST 2110-20 (single or dual channel), Audio according to ST 2110-30 (PCM), Ancillary Data according to ST 2110-40 and Video/Audio/Ancillary according to ST 2022-6.
• PTP Synchronization - Native PTP support according to ST 2110-10 (AES-R16-2016).
• Redundancy - Supports Seamless Protection Switching of RTP Datagrams according to ST 2202-7 multiplexed over one physical interface.
• Traffic Shaping - Following ST 2110-21 ensures reliable and predictable video delivery over IP with video streams delivered in time and sequence.
• NMOS Support - Follows the Networked Media Open Specification for Control and Management including IS-04 v1.2 (Discovery), IS-05 v1.0 (Routing), IS-08 v1.0 (Audio Mapping), IS-09 (System), BCP-002-01 (Essence Grouping), TR-1001 (System Environment and device behaviors) as well as Ember+ and Ember+ Bess Protocol.
• Clean Switching - A special “Clean Switch” feature ensures source switching it done without glitches, flashes, or color changes or audio "pops" during the video switch.
• Software Upgrades - Devices are software upgradeable to adapt to new standards, adapting to new protocols.

The Artel FL-ST2110-SFP is an SDI Video to ST2110 Gateway.  The SFP Module can plug into Video Gear equipped with SDI Host SFP Slots and it will encapsulate or de-encapsulate the SDI data to and from IP using SMPTE ST2110 or ST2022-6.

Video SFPs improve how broadcast equipment is inter-connected and it has been widely adopted.  SFP cages enable multi-format inputs and outputs without needing a separate box for each interface or cable type (coax, single-mode, multimode etc.).  The broadcast industry adapted the MSA standard and adapted it for use with SDI based video signals, rather than IP data.  This was harkening towards convergence with the world of Ethernet/IP. 

Now, the Media Broadcast and Production market is rapidly moving to Ethernet/IP for switching and transport.  This video SFP module helps deliver IP Convergence in Media Broadcast. 

The unit is designed to interface with video source and destination devices (via SFP) that are not yet ST2110 IP native, enabling those devices to exist on an IP network.  Since the FL-ST2110-SFP plugs directly into SDI SFP/SFP+ cages, the solution dramatically simplifies the migration and integration of SMPTE2110 IP and SDI equipment.

The SFP form factor offers a compact, lightweight, high-density SDI-to-IP gateway solution that is pre-integrated with Artel Video Broadcast portfolios and easily configured for use with any brand of video gear.

Unit options include encapsulation/encoding and de-encapsulation/decoding using ST2110 or ST2022-6.  MSA-compliant versions support a single channel only.  Non-MSA units operate with either a single or dual channel.  Units can be installed at device locations to provide for the desired mix of input and output connectivity over the IP network.  Designed to support SDI video pathological signals over IP, the module can ensure the quality of video transmission.

FL-ST2110-SFP utilizes SMPTE for all essences: Video according to ST 2110-20 (single or dual channel), Audio according to ST 2110-30 (PCM), Ancillary Data according to ST 2110-40 and Video/Audio/Ancillary according to ST 2022-6.

Supports Seamless Protection Switching of RTP Datagrams according to ST 2202-7 multiplexed over one physical interface.  Traffic Shaping is performed in accordance with ST 2110-21.  For Control and Management the unit offers NMOS including IS-04 v1.2 (Discovery), IS-05 v1.0 (Routing), IS-08 v1.0 (Audio Mapping), IS-09 (System), BCP-002-01 (Essence Grouping), TR-1001 (System Environment and device behaviors) as well as Ember+ and Ember+ Bess Protocol.

Clean Switch and Frame Sync. features can be added and enabled with optional licenses.

The “Clean Switch” feature allows switching between different video sources (e.g., cameras, players) without  any visible or audible artifacts that otherwise happen during the transition.  Clean Switch ensures the source switching it done without glitches, flashes, or color changes or audio "pops" during the video switch.

Clean switching can be applied to just the video switching, or extended to include to essences (video, audio and ancillary).  The feature is functional when switching between ST2110-20 to ST2110-20 (uncompressed) or between ST2110-22 to ST2110-22 type of essences. 

The units offer native PTP synchronization support according to ST 2110-10 (AES-R16-2016).  When the SFP is being used as an Encapsulator, it offers the option to add “Frame Sync. feature, if PTP frame syncing at the source is desirable.

The module is particularly useful with…
