Boland Communications ST 2110 monitors eliminate external gateways for IP workflows

The integration of native IP inputs into professional displays marks a shift toward leaner production stacks by removing the failure points associated with external conversion hardware. For broadcasters, this reduces the total cost of ownership for monitor walls and mobile units by decreasing switch-port requirements and cabling complexity. As the industry moves away from legacy SDI infrastructure, direct-to-monitor IP connectivity becomes a baseline requirement for low-latency UHD monitoring. Watch for how competitors respond to this integration at IBC2026 technical sessions, specifically regarding the adoption of 25GbE standards in mid-sized professional displays like the QD4K32HDR10-Opt 2110.

This hardware update aligns with broader trends in remote sports production, where reducing the physical footprint of equipment in mobile units is critical for operational efficiency. These broadcast workflows are increasingly reliant on high-resolution sensors and integrated IP interfaces to maintain signal integrity. New SDI and ST 2110 workflows are also emerging to help bridge legacy and modern infrastructure, similar to the ST-2110 IP infrastructure recently deployed for major tournament coverage.
