Webinar: PTP Take 3

10th October 2024

Gerard Phillips (Arista), Steve Holmes and Kevin Salvidge (Leader) are back with a third Live PTP webinar, but this time you are in control.

They’ll be answering your questions concerning PTP and SMPTE 2110 deployments.

Between the three of them, they have an unrivalled ‘real-world’ experience of PTP and SMPTE 2110 installations and can highlight from personal experience how best to design, configure and expand you PTP system, whilst at the same time monitoring its performance and ensuring that any issues are addressed before they become critical to your broadcast operations.

Webinar: Do PTP and Blackburst make the prefect pair?

1st August 2024

For years broadcaster engineers have designed their facilities and used Blackburst as their tried and trusted reference signal. Then along came IP and the introduction of Media-over-IP and a new reference signal, Precision Time Protocol (PTP).

Now, most facilities are having to gradually migrate from SDI to IP and like the culture clash between traditional broadcast engineers and the new breed of IP broadcast engineers, both BB and PTP have to co-exsist, if the migration from SDI to be seamless and pain-free.

At Leader we have 70 years experience of helping our customers manage technology transitions, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that we have been working on a product that combines both the traditional BB/TLS, Audio reference signals and SDI test pattern signals, as well as PTP and IP test patterns in a single product.

Join Steve and Kevin as they discuss the new Leader LT4670 Hybrid IP and SDI Sync Pulse Generator and how the customer challenges they have heard from early IP adopters have been overcome with the new LT4670.

So, irrespective of whether you have an operation SMPTE 2110 facility, or you are making your first tentative steps on your IP migration journey, Steve and Kevin will have something of interest for you.
