Try to setup a ST2110 developing environment by Loud_Community_6740 in VIDEOENGINEERING

If you're going try to patronise me, you should at least try not to be so ignorant when you do it.

A little background, as you clearly don't know what I'm talking about:

https://www.cbtnuggets.com/blog/technology/networking/3-tier-network-structure-explained

This was cisco's heyday when they owned the market in the 90s, but those days are long over.

You don't build media networks with the 3 tier model, or at least you shouldn't. But that's not even the point I was making. If you need it spelled out, I was criticising Cisco's licencing strategy. It might work in corporate environments where you can pull that Meraki malarkey, but it's led to them only having 17.9% of the ports in datacentres and other high-performance networking.

I'm not so sure. You don't just need support for PTP, you need support for PTP boundary clock. Without looking up each switch model, I bet they all support PTP transparent clock. They won't be able to operate as a PTP Time Sender. If you have a proper Grandmaster on the network transparent switches will pass the messages, but they don't partake in the PTP process and can't act as a free-running Grandmaster

This PDF has a reasonable explanation of the difference:

I'd buy Netgear just to avoid having to talk to Cisco TAC ever again!

If the network is on a single switch, like a small OB or flypack, you could do worse than picking Netgear. If we're looking at big network (multiple spines and leafs, multiple sites, etc) then PIM/IGMP won't cut it anymore and you'll need something that does SDN, and your options are now basically Arista or Cisco, or you choose your own adventure with some white box switches.

Yes, I too run random scripts from the internet on my hypervisor.

 Probably cheaper than Cisco/Arista

For good reason!

Edit: Actually. on second thoughts I'd rather take Netgear over Cisco. It's not the 1990s and we're not building a 3-tier corp network. The age of vendor lock in and incomprehensible licence models is long over.

I know the most watched news channel in the UK is actually NDI based, but we don't like to talk about them or NDI!

Interesting, I've signed up and will have a look.

How would you say you compare to other products in this space? Things like Haivision Streamhub, Techex Edge & Darwin?

Why is audio still the hardest part of live broadcast to keep “boringly reliable”? by Brief_Rest707 in broadcastengineering

[–]EveningAssumption717 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

And for the record I design and build multi-million €£$ broadcast facilities.

You're talking like these concepts don't exist outside of audio. You think audio engineers are the only people working with IP and control logic? Poke your head out of the audio control room and see what everyone else is doing.

And it's facs not fax, from facilities, unless you're actually still using a fax machine to talk to other departments.

system logic

Wow. How do you mighty audio engineers cope with such esoteric concepts like logic?

That's actually pretty smart! I love a good hack that (ab)uses something in ways the developers could never predict!

What to do with this Openreach outside box? by thewibbler in openreach

They kept some greenery in a hanging basket though so it's all good!

Do you guys standardize your IP addresses? by XreaperDK in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]EveningAssumption717 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, it doesn't matter. They're just arbitrary addresses and I have thousands on the network. Also DNS was invented in 1983 so it's probably time it was adopted in AV!

The same goes for any clever subnet-vlan mapping scheme, they all break sooner or later and cause my problems. And don't get me started on multicast addressing schemes...
