IP and SDI Work Seamlessly Together Karl Paulsen Chief Technology Officer Contributor to the IBC IP Showcase Integration
Hybrid IP/SDI what we mostly build, today integrates SDI peripherals with an IP core or an SDI core with IP islands augments I/O networks at 1, 10, 25, 40, 100 Gb IP
Hybrid IP/SDI Enables a flexible means toward a transition As SDI is phased out, hybrid approaches: can retain an economic equation for your ROI can supplement an SDI based workflow will ease the move towards IP will ready the facility for a full IP future
Hybrid IP/SDI IP and SDI will continue to live together While IP is the future SDI remains a significant long tail player equipment will likely continue both SDI & IP SDI may eventually be an option
Hybrid IP/SDI Values In ST 2110 all streams separately routable Allows for design/implementation flexibility systems may start out with just audio over IP ( 30) add video streams later ( 20) start with video/audio ( 20/ 30); then add metadata ( 40) when feasible
Hybrid IP/SDI HD Migration 1080p50/60 first; later move to UHD Workflows design and implement as HD today retain SDI, add IP where appropriate decisions can be delayed (e.g., Quad SDI/2SI vs. IP) later, as services expand and needs demand, move up to UHD in all IP (non SDI) design
Hybrid IP/SDI Scalability IP doesn t constrain growth; IP allows users to convert, as more devices become native IP to modify, as workflows demand more content to add redundancy/resiliency as needed for example (a) run in both SDI and IP (if desired) (b) build out separate streams on redundant fabrics (c) add/upgrade the core without excessive cost

Expected Technology Adoption Curve Crossing the Chasm
Constraints to Full IP implementation availability of Native IP Gear limited equipment with IP only inputs or outputs inputs & outputs may be IP based; yet, inside the box it s essentially an SDI domain
Inside the Box it s still an SDI world VIDEO & AUDIO & ANC-DATA as SMPTE ST 2110 SDI-ENCAPSULATED as SMPTE ST 2022-6 RECEIVER DECODE DE-SERIALIZE IMAGE PROCESSING AND MANIPULATING (4:2:2 / 4:2:0)
Constraints to Full IP Adoption completeness of full IT/IP systemization completed interoperability standards e.g., thorough network management, with respect to IT & IP alignment harmonization of SDN like control across multiple vendors that is all changing as evidenced here
Moving Toward IP (hybrid or otherwise) is definitely happening now for greenfield facilities easier to design & implement for existing facilities depends upon hardware availability; and the financial ROI (where it s still on the books) (i.e., fully depreciated vs. replaceable assets) What you design for today, depends on when you must deliver

Hybrid Future Proof and Preparednees Affordable incremental changes; retain current systems where needed Achievable start out small; gradual additions with limited obsolesce Appropriate ability to start now and grow into full IP over time an avenue to 1080p or UHD/4K without forklift upgrades
Comparative Approaches to Building in IP SDI Devices that are IP native need translation as IP meets SDI baseband May complicate move to full IP when a employing a SDI baseband core Extends the life of existing SDI gear without translators Not ideal for UHD HYBRID Translators become tie lines Automated path making based on systems Ideal for systems that have outgrown their SDI routing system Provides a clear path to IP native Over time As workflows and content expand Cost effective accounting friendly approach without forklift upgrades Extends equipment life Gradual updates of legacy SDI gear IP IP devices are growing Network management architecture prepares for expansion Translation still required for baseband to IP devices Wire level redundancy improves up time, adn reduces maintenance
