RTW has added SMPTE ST 2110 compliance to its Dante- and Ravenna-compatible TouchMonitor TM7 and TM9. All new units are shipping with this functionality, with existing owners able to add it via a free firmware update.

‘SMPTE ST 2110 is a major contributing factor in the development toward a single IP-based mechanism for the professional broadcaster. and we expect it to replace SDI solutions over time,’ says RTW Senior Director of Product Management, Mike Kahsnitz. ‘Like SDI, it carries audio, as well as video and metadata, but unlike SDI, it is based on IP technology, which makes it a true network, rather than point-to-point.

‘Broadcast is beginning to make a shift toward a truly networked infrastructure and we obviously want to continue developing our solutions accordingly. In conclusion, truly professional audio meters are now available for broadcasters and content providers that are adopting the new IP-based infrastructure.’
