Patton Launches Portable ST2110 Gateway
KUALA LUMPUR, March 24 (Bernama) -- Artel Video, a brand of Patton, has unveiled the FiberLink ST2110-TD, a rugged, compact, portable gateway enabling real-time conversion between 3G/HD-SDI and SMPTE ST 2110 Internet Protocol (IP) video signals.
According to Patton in a statement, the device is now available for pre-order, with deliveries expected in May.
The "throw-down" gateway is designed to bridge legacy SDI workflows with modern IP-based broadcast infrastructure, eliminating the need for costly system overhauls. It supports one or two channels with bidirectional functionality, offering broadcasters deployment flexibility across environments.
“Broadcasters should not have to choose between preserving SDI investment or embracing IP communication,” said Patton Director, Media Transport Systems, Tim Godby.
Godby highlighted the gateway’s flexibility, noting it provides a strategic, scalable, and affordable pathway for broadcasters transitioning to IP without disrupting existing operations.
Engineered for portability, the ST2110-TD can be deployed across studio floors, remote production sites, and mobile units without requiring rack installation. Mounting options include DIN-rail, NEMA enclosures, and 1U rack trays for more permanent setups.
The device complies fully with SMPTE ST 2110 standards, supporting video (ST 2110-20), audio (ST 2110-30 PCM), ancillary data (ST 2110-40), and precise synchronisation via ST 2110-10 PTP.
Additional features include autosensing SDI ports, traffic shaping aligned with ST 2110-21, seamless redundancy through ST 2022-7 protection switching, and NMOS support for networked media operations. The unit is also software-upgradable to accommodate evolving standards.
Four SKUs are available for pre-order, including single- and dual-channel configurations for encapsulation (SDI-to-ST2110) and de-encapsulation (ST2110-to-SDI). AC power adapters are included.
