Practical Tips - AES67/ST2110 Installations

    Translate page

    The whole production intercom or talkback communication industry, particularly in the Broadcast and AV media markets, is moving into a new way of working, away from dedicated 1:1 cable connections between equipment to using Audio over IP (AoIP) networks using the AES67 / SMPTE ST2110-30 standard.

    Consequently, the success of the installation and project relies on a correctly configured IP network infrastructure.

    Kindly consider these steps to help smooth out AoIP installations.

     

    #1 Read and review Clear-Com’s AoIP – AES67/ST2110 Document

    ·      Use Enterprise-grade managed 1GB switches that meets or exceeds Clear-Com’s minimum specifications (preferable if it supports Boundary Clock mode)

    ·      QoS

    ·      IGMP

    ·      VLANs

    ·      PTPv2 GM Units with GPS (application dependent)

    ·      Contact Clear-Com support about out IP ST2110 survey form via Support@clearcom.com

     

    #2 Ensure that an IP Network Engineer (from the switch vendor) is available

    ·      Pre-sales to review the network topology

    ·      On-site during installation to help configure the network switches

     

    #3 Ensure that there are dedicated IP test and measurement tools on site

    ·      PTP Track Hound

    ·      Wireshark

    ·      Multicast Hammer

    ·      3rd Party IP ST2110 Measurement Equipment

    #4 Installation – Good Practices

    Prepare the network, the devices and check for PTP synchronization at endpoints before running audio through.

     

    ·      List of IP address

    ·      List of multicast IP address

    ·      List of GM IP and MAC address

    ·      Check PTP status and latency to end points (Offset From Master values)

    ·      Test devices offline before connecting to live network
