Lessons Learned Part 2: Optimal Handling of PTP
The first blog in this “lessons learned” series took a close look at how important it is to use a PTP-aware switch when implementing IP-based media workflows. In this second installment, we’ll focus more on IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) itself and how to handle PTP configuration and data correctly.
The IP Migration: Working With Audio Studios
When you hear about the audio industry’s migration to IP, the “classic” implementation that comes to mind is that of either a greenfield application or a complete equipment replacement. Either response is valid, given that many of the initial implementations highlighted were just these kinds of projects: entirely new builds undertaken by high-profile media organizations.
Teaming Up With TecNec
At Artel we focus on delivering the products and functionality our customers need. This commitment drives every part of our business. It’s also the reason we have built longstanding relationships with companies like TecNec Distributing.
Fiber Is Here to Stay
Fiber optic media-over-wavelength transport has been a staple of live television production for decades now, but any application with high bandwidth and/or high bit rate requirements can benefit from fiber.
Lessons Learned Part 1: Getting IP Right With a PTP-Aware Switch
At a recent meeting of Artel engineers, we decided to collect some “lessons learned” stories. We figured we’d share these stories — focused around IP-based media workflows — in case they can help you to prevent unwanted downtime or avoid a painful failure.
Dave Rowell and Filo Classical
In the 15 years since he founded FiLO Classical, recording engineer Dave Rowell has consistently garnered praise — and no small number of awards — for his artistic and technical skill in location recording and broadcasting classical music.
Read how Rowell adopted a RAVENNA-based real-time AoIP solution including two Artel Quarra PTP- aware ethernet switches to keep everything perfectly synced.
Configuring Your IP Switch: The Why Behind the How
Artel's documentation page has dozens of PDF files explaining how best to configure your equipment for your operations. Page through any guide, and you’ll learn exactly what to do to get you up and running. Simple and helpful screenshots allow you to get through setup quickly and successfully without necessarily understanding every switch feature so you’re pretty much good to go. But maybe you’re interested in the “why” as well as the “how”? This blog takes a closer look at three key features — IGMP snooping, QoS, and IEEE 1588 PTP — and why they are important in supporting a stable AES67 network.
Doing the Job (Every Job!) and Doing It Right
From the moment Artel receives a PO or a request for delivery, the company’s operations team is hard at work doing all it takes to get the job done and do it right. Responsible for assembly, testing, packaging, and shipping, operations drives delivery of the products essential to customer success.
2020: How an Industrywide Slowdown Drove Progress
In the decade leading up to 2020, we saw a flurry of work on standards that would pave the way for the industry’s migration to IP. Though many of those standards, including SMPTE ST 2110, continue to be refined and optimized, it has been more than a year since we truly began to see implementation of IP.
The Engine Driving Success for Artel and Its Customers
Perhaps because it is an employee-owned company, or because it is committed to being a good citizen within the larger industry, Artel is dedicated to being responsive to customers’ requirements — and a contributor to their success, as well.
This is why the engineering department at Artel is the company’s largest team, responsible for developing the features and functionality that address new and evolving market needs.
