Aiming at the timing and striking again, SMT UHD S1 was renovated and debuted in May this year. As the nations first 4k broadcasting system with a full-IP 2110 architecture, it once again built its own multi-dimensional advantages:
All-IP architecture based on SMPTE-2110 standard
Dual production area 4K 32 channel standard+
Support full-process 4K HDR production (HLG, PQ)
Real-time retrieval of more than 100 channels of 4K signals
Real-time monitoring of 360 frames
Audio DSP processing capacity exceeds 240 channels
Able to handle 6.4T of data per second
Simultaneously design 4 4K subtitle machines and 6-12 channel EVS
40 production stations+, with an area exceeding 96 square meters
See the trend and lock in IP
Based on the IP technology of SMPTE-2110, facing the challenges of massive data storage and management due to the widespread application of 4K/HDR/VR/AR, it provides an ideal solution. In addition to the advantages of IP architecture, such as improving production efficiency, enhancing multi-channel expansion capabilities, and exchanging external two-way information, along with the gradual maturity of 5G technology, IP can bring application innovations in ultra-large bandwidth, allowing the system to effectively integrate with diverse internet cloud platforms, thereby promoting the further integration of the entire broadcast industry and new internet technologies and to expand the unlimited imagination of program broadcasting and production.

During transformation, there is no reference to take and is full of technical challenges. SMT began to transform to IP three years ago. Through practical applications in the past few years, it has a wealthy experience in the design and application of traditional SDI and new IP architecture, at the same time, with accurate control of the OB truck and technology, through repeated demonstration, installation and debugging, and continuous optimization, the S1 SMPTE-2110 all-IP architecture has been successfully upgraded. SMT UHD S1 upgrade project is a bold attempt and investment under the SMPTE-2110 architecture, which will provide a reference for nation's peers. At the same time, it will also play an important role in promoting the development of the entire IP technology industry and 4K production industry.
Super Ecology Detonates IP
As a new generation of OB van that is compatible with the cloud technology, SMT UHD S1 will have a brand-new mission in addition to traditional broadcast tasks. As a huge attention harvester, the scene will truly step into the era of streaming media broadcasting, build a brand new 5G ecology platform, and realize the core theory of one truck one ecology.
Create IP with IP
