SMPTE ST 2110-41 is a pivotal standard within the SMPTE ST 2110 suite, designed to enhance the transport of metadata in IP-based broadcast infrastructures. It enables the carriage, synchronisation, and description of separate elementary essence streams over IP for real-time production, playout, and other professional media applications. This standard has been under discussion for several years, but the SMPTE specifications were recently approved in March 2024 and now complete the 2110 family of standards related to IP transport.
In this whitepaper, BBright explores why this new standard is needed, the key features of ST 2110-41, and its role in audio and other applications.
