6 Keys
What successful IP projects have in common
Learn the proven principles that help broadcasters reduce IP migration risk and build future-ready broadcast infrastructure.
Start with your goals
Discover why HDR readiness, expanded channel density, facility consolidation — the goal shapes every decision that follows.
Commit to open standards
See why ST 2110 is the established foundation. Build on open standards to reduce risk and protect long-term investment.
Evaluate holistically
Learn how structured assessment across all three domains leads to better decisions and smoother migrations.
Prioritize high-value projects
Find out why early deployments in lower-risk workflows let teams build skills before IP enters mission-critical operations.
Plan for future capability
Explore how HDR delivery, scalable routing, cloud readiness, dynamic infrastructure sharing — plan for capability, not just migration.
Migrate at your own pace
Understand how gateway technologies enable modernization without disruption. The speed of migration depends less on the technology than on your readiness to execute.

IP-migration FAQ
What is SMPTE ST 2110?
SMPTE ST 2110 is the open industry standard for transporting professional video, audio and metadata over IP networks. With over a decade of industry adoption, it has become the foundation for interoperable, multi-vendor broadcast infrastructure and modern IP production, playout and media workflows.
Why are broadcasters moving from SDI to IP?
Broadcasters are adopting IP infrastructure to support HDR, UHD, remote production, cloud workflows and greater operational flexibility. Most organizations are introducing IP alongside existing SDI systems through phased migration strategies.
Can SDI and IP work together?
Yes. Hybrid SDI/IP environments allow broadcasters to modernize gradually, integrating existing SDI equipment with ST 2110 IP infrastructure to reduce risk, protect investments and maintain operational continuity.
What is NMOS?
NMOS (Networked Media Open Specifications) is a mature, widely adopted framework for IP media. This suite of open standards enables device discovery, connection management and interoperability within SMPTE ST 2110 and broadcast IP networks, simplifying multi-vendor broadcast deployments.
What is a Dynamic Media Facility (DMF)?
A Dynamic Media Facility (DMF) is an emerging software-defined broadcast architecture that allows media processing resources to be deployed dynamically across on-prem and cloud infrastructure. ST 2110 provides the media transport foundation for this approach.
