SMPTE 2059

Last updated

SMPTE 2059 is a standard from the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) that describes how to synchronize video equipment over an IP network. [1] The standard is based on IEEE 1588-2008. SMPTE 2059 is published in two parts on 9 April 2015:

SMPTE 2059 is an integral part of emerging professional IP video broadcast technology and standards. [4] [5]

In May 2016, the Audio Engineering Society published a report describing synchronization interoperability between AES67 and SMPTE 2059-2. [6]
