Tektronix Assists with AIMS Alliance, EBU and IRT to Design and Execute JT-NM Testing of SMPTE 2110 Devices
Summary
According to Mike Overton, Principal Engineer at Tektronix, the goal of the program is to provide meaningful depth for decision-makers to consider which devices actually address the SMPTE 2110 standards. “By establishing trust in which devices meet the test criteria, we’re helping strengthen confidence in the standards and, ultimately, advancing their effectiveness. Tektronix was pleased to participate with the JT-NM and the AIMS Alliance in advancing the idea of industry cooperation and standards, and we recognize the outstanding contributions of the EBU and IRT. We look forward to continuing our participation for many years.” As the industry migrates toward IP-based workflows, the JT-NM Tested program provides media professionals with guidance on which devices can currently be specified and deployed in a SMPTE 2110 environment. For those IP gateway devices providing an SDI output, the WFM8300 was used to monitor the video and audio signal to ensure correct decoding of the streams.
