SMPTE ST 2059 standards play a critical role in synchronizing audio and video systems across IP networks. This series ensures that media signals are perfectly aligned, synchronizing the transport of video and audio in real-time environments. Nextera Video's ST 2059 core adheres to IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) standards, allowing seamless integration with traditional genlocked systems and flexible networking setups that accommodate varying speeds and protocols.
ST 2059 offers deterministic timing signal generation and supports multiple network configurations, including those without PTP-aware switches. The core can operate across various Ethernet speeds and integrates effortlessly with different equipment models, facilitating seamless interoperability within hybrid environments. This ensures that media content is transported precisely in sync, a necessity for live production and post-production workflows.
The availability of multiple licensing options and demo designs based on popular FPGA development kits makes ST 2059 cores versatile for engineers looking to implement synchronized IP systems. ST 2059 cores ensure media content is not only aligned temporally but also meets industry interoperability benchmarks through rigorous JT-NM testing, making them indispensable for time-sensitive media applications.
