PTP Synchronization over Wide Area Networks

For IP-based broadcast and video production applications, Precision Time Protocol (PTP) is used as the timing reference for the facility. It is typically used over dedicated local media networks using PTP-aware networking equipment (such as Boundary Clock or Transparent Clock switches), but it may be surprising to learn that PTP can also operate over general-purpose wide area networks (WANs). The Telestream SPG9000 master clock and sync generator includes several features that enable this mode of operation.

Maintaining Operational Confidence During the Transition to Remote PHY

Distributed Access Architecture (DAA), and specifically Remote PHY deployments, transforms how video services are delivered across cable networks. While the benefits are significant, including simplified hub sites, lower operational costs, greater scalability, and a path to higher-capacity broadband services, DAA introduces new operational challenges. Mainly, visibility.

How Pulse Brings Signals, Timing, and Teams Together for Collaborative IP Monitoring

The broadcast industry is adopting the same software-based principles that have reshaped enterprise IT: flexible deployment, centralized visibility, multi-user access, and tools that can adapt as workflows change. Telestream Pulse brings that model to ST 2110 monitoring, combining familiar waveform and signal-analysis tools with timing intelligence, operational dashboards, and role-based visibility in a shared software environment.
