The advantages of IP vs. baseband in a corporate video infrastructure and how Network Device Interface (NDI) and the SMPTE 2110 set of standards developed by the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers apply will be explored by industry executives during the Studio Production & Post session “Practical IP,” at the second annual Silicon Valley Video Summit (SVVS), Jan. 23.
The panel will be moderated by Kent Terry, SMPTE San Francisco (SF) section chair, who has been a member of SMPTE and an active participant in SMPTE technology committees for more than 25 years. He now chairs two SMPTE working groups and has contributed to several SMPTE standards, including emerging standards in the ST 2110 suite for conveying audio metadata.
The panel will include Nik Kumar, Advanced Systems Group (ASG) engineering director, Systems Integration (East); Deon LeCointe, Sony Electronics director of Networked Solutions, Imaging Products & Solutions – Americas; Angus Mackay, Matrox Video product marketing manager; Chuck Meyer, CSMeyer principal; and Ryan Morris, Arista Networks systems engineer.
