The Next Phase of SMPTE ST 2110

Key Code Media — Thu, 03 Sep 2026 22:22:46 +0000

SMPTE ST 2110 has moved beyond the early adopter phase. The question is no longer simply whether ST 2110 works. It is where does ST 2110 now make economic and operational sense?

For years, ST 2110 was mostly reserved for major facility builds with the budget, engineering resources, and network infrastructure to match. That equation is starting to change.

Lower cost endpoints, better SDI/IP gateways, JPEG XS, and more mature workflows are making IP production practical for more facilities. And with hybrid SDI/IP workflows, moving toward 2110 does not have to mean ripping everything out and starting over.

In this Broadcast2Post Live episode, host Michael Kammes sits down with Jami Higginbotham (Principal Architect, Advanced Systems at Blackmagic Design) and our own, Steve Dupaix (Sr. Director of Broadcast Innovation at Key Code Media), to explore what’s changing, where ST 2110 makes sense today, and what it could mean for your next facility upgrade.

Shared Media Storage in 2026: Cloud, On-Prem, or LTO?

Key Code Media — Mon, 13 Apr 2026 14:12:00 +0000

Shared Storage & Archive is one of those areas that feels simple until it is not. Everything works fine until a file goes missing, or someone asks for a project from three years ago. At that point, storage stops being about capacity and quickly becomes a conversation about performance, access, cost, and long term planning.

In this episode of Broadcast2Post, we break down how creative teams should approach shared media storage and archive strategy. The discussion includes a practical decision tree along with insights from Tom Coughlin, President of Coughlin Associates, whose annual storage report has tracked real world industry trends since 2009.

Multi-Site Creative Teams | Managing Hybrid Teams

Key Code Media — Tue, 17 Feb 2026 16:15:00 +0000

The latest episode of the Broadcast2Post Podcast focuses on how modern creative teams can work together across locations without sacrificing speed, quality, or control. Creative teams are more scattered than ever. Editors operate from different cities, freelancers contribute from personal workstations, and reviewers span departments and time zones. Yet many production environments are still structured as if everyone works in the same building. That disconnect creates friction in collaboration, asset management, and review cycles.

In this episode, host Michael Kammes speaks with Danielle DiStefano, Chief Technology Officer at ITV America, and Matt Stamos of Key Code Media about what it takes to properly support multi site creative teams. This discussion focuses on how large scale television productions move massive amounts of footage from remote shoots into centralized post environments. And from the corporate perspective, how to coordinate with distributed creative and marketing teams using hybrid and cloud workflows to support multiple departments, freelancers, and product lines. If you’re a creative in a multi-site team, or your team supports content creation across more than one location, this episode is for you.

PTP Done Right for ST 2110: How to Avoid the Timing Pitfalls in IP Broadcast

Key Code Media — Wed, 03 Dec 2025 07:22:00 +0000

The latest episode of the Broadcast2Post Podcast tackles one of the most misunderstood and mission-critical components of any ST 2110 or IP broadcast deployment: PTP timing.

As studios, stadiums, universities, and live production environments move to IP, timing is no longer a mysterious box hidden in the rack room. It is now a live network service that impacts every camera, multiviewer, replay system, intercom, and audio device on your network. When PTP is not configured correctly, it shows up as “random glitches” that are anything but random.

In the blog and video, the Key Code Media engineering team walk through how PTP actually operates inside a modern 2110 facility, why timing failures appear the way they do, and the essential design decisions that keep your plant rock-solid. The team then goes hands-on inside a real PTP monitoring environment to show exactly what healthy timing looks like, how to spot drift, and which alarms matter before you go to air.
