Configure network switch
On the network switch(es)
Enable PTPv2 on the physical port(s) Matrox’s network interface(s) is(are) connected to
For SMPTE 2022-7 network redundancy architectures and how PTP GMs are connected check out the Network Architecture and Connection Diagrams
For a successful ST2110 deployment, it is essential that the network switches have proper support for PTPv2 and that their configuration matches all the specific requirements of the ST2110 standard. Check out our recommended network switches from our partner Netgear → Netgear M4350-16V4C & Netgear M4350-40X4C
For fully IP-based ST2110 productions, we highly recommend a monitoring and analysis tool that provides comprehensive and relevant information about networking (PTP stability, packet timing, etc) as well as about the content (live visualisation, colour charts, vectorscopes, etc). Check out our recommended solution from our partner Bridge Technologies → Bridge Technologies VB440
