Quicklink Announces SMPTE ST 2110 Support Across Product Line

Quicklink, providers of remote production solutions, has announced support for SMPTE ST 2110 within Quicklink ST250, Quicklink ST150, Quicklink Studio Servers (ST100, ST102, ST208, ST200), Quicklink Cre8 STS410, and Quicklink TX (Skype TX).

With this announcement, Quicklink’s broadcast-grade hardware supports direct uncompressed video inputs and outputs into 2110 IP-based workflows, conforming to the SMPTE ST2110 standard for IP video. SMPTE ST 2110 specifies the transport, synchronization and description of video, audio and ancillary data over managed IP networks for broadcast.

Richard Rees, Quicklink CEO, said: “Since the very first announcement of SMPTE 2110 in 2017, we have been involved in a number of discussions surrounding IP-video and the adoption of ST 2110. This demand has been born out of the numerous benefits provided to broadcasters, production companies, sport organisations and corporates alike.”

He added: “We have closely listened to these requirements, and are now extremely excited to provide our customers with a solution that seamlessly fits into SMPTE 2110 facilities.”

With the increasing demand for IP-video, the addition of ST 2110 further adds to Quicklink’s catalogue of impressive IP video production standards, which also includes NDI, SRT and Dante.

Quicklink’s remote production solutions are used by some of the world’s leading brands, including BBC, Aljazeera, CNN, BT Sport, NEP, Microsoft, Bloomberg, CBS, Sky and others.
