ST2110 Uncompressed Video over IP
Artel SMART openGear 12G SDI Media Delivery Platform – Media over IP (ST2110) Encapsulator / De-Encapsulator

The SMART openGear 12G-SDI card is Artel’s Next-Generation ST2110 Gateway supporting 1 or 2 channels of 12G-SDI Encapsulated into ST2110-20; And 1 or 2 channels of ST2110-20 De-Encapsulated into 12G-SDI. The unit offers Bi-Directional and multi-channel support with ST2022-7 for hitless redundancy.

• 12G SDI Gateway - Bi-directional, Multi-channel 12G-SDI to ST2110-20 Encapsulation and De-Encapsulation.
• Built-in Frame Syncs - SDI inputs are frame-synced prior to encapsulation, ensuring seamless integration into IP workflows.
• Dual Ethernet SFPs - Two 25GbE SFPs for ST2110 Inputs/Outputs for Primary and Secondary support for ST2022-7 hitless redundancy.
• ST-2022-7 Hitless Redundancy - Packet duplication and redundant streams using different physical routes for seamless protection switching.
• Quad SDI Ports - . Four (4) HD-BNC ports for 12G/6G/3G/HD-SDI connectivity.
• Multi-Channel Operation - Each channel processes one (1) video flow, four (4) audio flows (each supporting up to 16 audio channels) and one data flow for ancillary data.
• OpenGear - Card/modules fit the industry OpenGear standard designed for broadcast and live production signal processing, video, audio, and data processing in a flexible, multi-vendor system.
• Configuration & Control - Uses NMOS for in-band control and configuration which can be used alongside the openGear DashBoard™ for remote monitoring and configuration.

I/O View

The Artel SMART openGear 12G-SDI Media Delivery Platform is a 12G SDI Gateway that offers bi-directional, multi-channel 12G-SDI <-> ST2110-20 Encapsulation and De-Encapsulation.  SDI inputs are frame-synced prior to encapsulation, ensuring seamless integration into IP workflows.

High-bandwidth 12Gbps SDI signals, often carrying 4K video, 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 an “all-IP” infrastructure.

Four HD-BNC ports are used for 12G/6G/3G/HD-SDI connectivity, supporting 2 channels (1 In/1 Out, or 2 In or 2 Out) independent SDI signals.  Each channel processes one (1) video flow, four (4) audio flows (each supporting up to 16 audio channels) and one data flow for ancillary data.

The device provides a gateway function using ST2110-20 into dual 25GE SFP’s.  The two 25GbE SFPs are used for ST2110 Inputs/Outputs for Primary and Secondary support for ST2022-7 hitless redundancy for seamless protection switching.  Dual 10 GbE SFPs are available as a special-order SKU.

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 OpenGear card and uses NMOS for in-band control and configuration which can be utilized alongside the openGear DashBoard™ for remote monitoring and configuration.

SMART openGear 12G 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.

The SMART openGear 12G ST2110 Gateway is ideal for modern broadcast and production environments where hybrid workflows are required between uncompressed 12G/6G/3G/HD-SDI and 25GE IP trunks with seamless protection capabilities.
