Adventures in ST-2110: Lessons From the Field

Mon 14 Dec, 2026
10:05 am - 10:45 am - (All times are in EST Time Zone)

ST 2110 is well past proof of concept — it's the backbone of trucks, venues, and broadcast centers across the globe. But with the standard's firepower and flexibility also comes a new level of complexity. ST 2110 veterans share what their deployment actually look like — including PTP timing, network design, NMOS, and control layer interoperability — and how troubleshooting changes, what skills teams have to build, and what they'd do differently.

Making the Dynamic Media Facility a Reality

Mon 14 Dec, 2026
10:45 am - 11:30 am - (All times are in EST Time Zone)

The Dynamic Media Facility promises to replace fixed, single-purpose hardware with software-defined media functions running on-prem, in the cloud, or both — but turning that vision into daily operational reality raises hard questions. This session will focus on cross-vendor interoperability, integration with existing SMPTE ST 2110 infrastructure, orchestration and resource allocation, and the practical roadmap for moving from concept to deployment.

Panelists:
Andy Rayner, Appear, CTO
Francesco Scartozzi, Matrox Video, VP, Sales & Business Development

Understanding the Media eXchange Layer

Mon 14 Dec, 2026
11:45 am - 12:30 pm - (All times are in EST Time Zone)

The Media eXchange Layer (MXL) is emerging as the connective tissue of software-defined broadcast facilities — an open-source standard, developed by the EBU, Linux Foundation, and NABA, for moving video, audio, and timed data between media functions running in virtualized environments. Learn how MXL complements SMPTE ST 2110, what interoperability looks like in practice, current adoption challenges, and where the specification is headed next

The Distributed Control Room: Comms, Crew, and Workflow for the Modern Age

Mon 14 Dec, 2026
1:30 pm - 2:00 pm - (All times are in EST Time Zone)

When the crew isn't in the same room, the toolset must close the gap. Panelists dig into the technology making distributed production work: IP-based comms and audio, low-latency multiviewers and monitoring, remote control surfaces and panel virtualization, KVM approaches for operator positions, and the transport tying it together. And, perhaps most importantly, hear how to train and prepare your crew for this new reality.

Panelists:
Ghislain Collette, Haivision, VP, Product Management

The Future of Truck and Remote Production Facility Design

Mon 14 Dec, 2026
2:00 pm - 2:45 pm - (All times are in EST Time Zone)

The traditional OB truck is giving way to smaller, smarter alternatives. This panel brings together engineers and broadcast innovators to explore what's next in remote production — from modular flypacks and next-gen truck design to cloud-based control and REMI workflows. Panelists will weigh onsite vs. remote tradeoffs, bandwidth and latency challenges, and what broadcasters should consider when investing in production technology — and where the industry is headed next.

Is it Time the Industry Develops a “Fan Mode?”

Mon 14 Dec, 2026
4:45 pm - 5:30 pm - (All times are in EST Time Zone)

Filmmaker Mode transformed how audiences experience movies at home…is it time for something similar for sports fans? Join us to learn about a new initiative between SVG and the UHD Alliance to create FanMode, a picture setting built to deliver the color, motion, and detail that make live sports thrilling on the biggest screen in the house. This session explores what FanMode means for the fan experience and for the people creating the content it displays. As viewer expectations rise, so will demand for production tools, workflows, and creative choices built to take advantage of it.
