PROMAX is debuting at NAB 2025 its ATLAS NG analyzer with SMPTE ST 2110 protocol support for IP-based media production networks, adding PTP measurements, video/audio flow analysis, and SRT compatibility.
Most ST 2110 analysis tools on the market are rack-mounted instruments or software-only solutions running on servers. PROMAX is packaging ST 2110 probing into a portable field meter that also handles RF, SDI, and fiber — a form factor suited to outside broadcast trucks and on-site troubleshooting where rack gear is impractical. This arrives as ST 2110 adoption accelerates: Devoncroft Partners reported at NAB 2025 that IP infrastructure upgrades now top its Global M&E Project Index, ahead of AI and cloud workflows, with peak ST 2110 spend projected within 18 to 24 months. Watch whether broadcasters evaluating hybrid SDI-to-IP migrations adopt portable analyzers like ATLAS NG alongside their existing fixed monitoring stacks.
PROMAX positions the ATLAS NG as the first portable multistandard broadcast analyzer to combine ST 2110 protocol analysis with RF, SDI, and fiber measurement in a single field unit. TM Broadcast International reported that the ATLAS NG covers up to 6 GHz across S and C bands, incorporating NextGenTV ATSC 3.0, DVB-S2x, and 5G interference detection alongside the optional ST 2110 module. The device was showcased at NAB Show 2025 in Las Vegas at booth W1410, where PROMAX demonstrated its ability to communicate bidirectionally with production network elements such as master clocks over both fiber and RF links.
The ST 2110 module addresses a specific operational gap in the SDI-to-IP migration that broadcasters are navigating. PROMAX's own technical documentation describes how the ATLAS NG monitors both main and secondary PTP clocks, verifying offset relative to the master reference and flagging synchronization drift before it causes stream misalignment during live production. The unit also performs ST 2022-7 redundant stream monitoring with latency graphs and packet counters, allowing engineers to confirm that seamless protection switching is actively functioning rather than merely configured. This consolidation of PTP, redundancy, and flow analysis into a handheld form factor targets outside broadcast trucks and remote sites where rack-mounted test gear is impractical.
Panorama Audiovisual covered the ATLAS NG's launch in late March 2025, noting that the analyzer adds WiFi 6 connectivity and telephony integration to its measurement suite, along with a multi-touch interface featuring customizable dockable panels. The inclusion of SRT compatibility alongside ST 2110 positions the ATLAS NG to serve facilities that run both standards-based IP production networks and SRT-based contribution or distribution links, a hybrid scenario increasingly common in live sports and news operations transitioning between legacy and IP workflows.
