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

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.
