ST 2110 Client (Beta)
Professional ST 2110 stream reception for the SDI-to-IP transition
As broadcast, contribution and production workflows move from SDI to IP, SMPTE ST 2110 is becoming the foundation for flexible, high-quality video and audio transport. By carrying video and audio as separate IP streams, ST 2110 gives developers and system integrators greater control over each essence while maintaining the quality and low-latency expectations of professional media environments.
The MainConcept ST 2110 Client SDK enables software-based reception of ST 2110 video and audio streams. The SDK includes the Network ST 2110 Source component for receiving uncompressed video and PCM audio streams, making it ideal for encoders, multiviewers, monitoring systems, playout, ingest and other broadcast applications to transition from SDI to IP workflows.

- Product Highlights
Receive uncompressed ST 2110 video and audio
Follows ST 2110-10 for system architecture, ST 2110-20 for uncompressed video reception and ST 2110-30 for uncompressed PCM audio conforming to AES67.
Hardware-agnostic software implementation
The software-based architecture works with any network hardware that matches or exceeds the bandwidth requirements of the transmitted streams.
SDP and NMOS stream loading
ST 2110 streams can be loaded through SDP files, while NMOS support enables stream discovery and stream loading in IP-based broadcast environments.
Integrated color space conversion
The integrated Universal Color Space Converter enables color conversion of received video streams directly within the workflow.
Designed for modern broadcast infrastructure
The SDK supports flexible IP-based production and contribution workflows where video and audio essences are managed independently across network infrastructure.
Easy integration into professional media workflows
Provides a streamlined integration path for adding ST 2110 input capabilities to broadcast and media applications, accelerating the transition from SDI to flexible IP-based infrastructures.
Built for professional broadcast applications
The MainConcept ST 2110 Client SDK can be integrated into a wide range of professional broadcast and media solutions. Designed for software-based and cloud-ready deployments, the SDK helps developers introduce ST 2110 input capabilities into existing and next-generation products without dependency on specialized hardware.
