SMPTE adds 13-week ST 2110 boot camp for IP workflows
SMPTE announced the ST 2110 Boot Camp for June 2026, an intensive 13-week program with 20 modules across three courses focusing on transitioning from SDI to ST 2110 IP workflows. The program, which includes self-paced modules and live instructor-led coaching, aims to equip professionals with practical skills and an industry-recognized credential for IP-based live production.
Key Takeaways
- Program starts Tuesday, June 11, 2026, and runs 13 weeks with 20 modules across three courses.
- Live coaching sessions run Tuesdays and Thursdays at 12:00 p.m. EDT, with 26 sessions recorded and posted on demand within 24 hours.
- The three courses are Introduction to IP Networks (9 modules), Understanding ST 2110 (6 modules), and IP Network Design (5 modules).
- Participants must score 70% or higher on module assignments and quizzes, and 70% or higher on the final exam, which has 100 questions and two attempts.
- A Practical Lab add-on is available, with in-kind contributions from Lawo Academy, Arista, Blackmagic Design, Meinberg, Bridge Technologies, Matrox, AJA and more.
Why It Matters
The immediate impact is practical: SMPTE is packaging SDI-to-ST 2110 training into a 13-week format with both self-paced modules and live coaching, plus a credential at the end. That matters because the curriculum is built around synchronization, redundancy, PTP timing architectures, network design, and operational change management — the same topics teams face in live IP migrations. The ecosystem angle is clear from the instructor and partner list, which includes EBU, Lawo, Arista Networks, Cisco Systems, Blackmagic Design, Meinberg, Bridge Technologies, Matrox, and AJA. What to watch: enrollment demand around the June 11 start date and whether SMPTE expands the Practical Lab model in future cohorts.
