SMPTE’s ST 2110 boot camp adds IP networking training
SMPTE Education is launching a pilot IP networking boot camp focused on SMPTE ST 2110 standards. The program consists of three courses: "Introduction to IP Networking," "Designing an IP Network," and an updated "Understanding ST 2110" course, culminating in a final certification exam. These courses aim to equip participants with skills for creating media production and delivery systems within IP networks.
Key Takeaways
- The boot camp combines three courses with a final certification exam focused on IP networking and SMPTE ST 2110.
- Two courses are new: "Introduction to IP Networking" and "Designing an IP Network."
- The third course is an updated "Understanding ST 2110" class covering media production or delivery systems within IP networks.
- The pilot has limited space and is being offered first-come, first-served.
- The updated ST 2110 class is listed at a $900 pilot price through June 28, down from a $1,350 value.
Why It Matters
SMPTE is packaging IP networking and ST 2110 into a structured training path, not just a standalone standards class. That matters because it ties basic networking, facility design, and ST 2110 into one certification track for media production and delivery systems. The program also signals that ST 2110 knowledge is being treated as an operational skill set, not only a standards topic. For the broader ecosystem, the key detail is whether SMPTE keeps this as a pilot or expands it into a recurring course line. Watch registration demand and whether the June 28 pilot pricing window changes course uptake.
