Amid the ongoing shift from SDI to IP that is reshaping live production, SMPTE will be hold its 2026 IP Media Workflows program to help engineers acquire the skills they need to thrive in this new environment.

SMPTE described this year's program as follows:

  • ST 2110 Intensive Boot Camp. 2110 Intensive Boot Camp is our flagship 13-week program, combining three integrated courses and 20 modules with twice-weekly live coaching sessions led by industry experts and implementation specialists. Students progress through the course materials independently, then come together in collaborative sessions to discuss real-world challenges, share field experiences, and work directly with instructors and peers to deepen their understanding.

  • Introduction to IP Networks (ITIPN). The Foundation - A practical, beginner-friendly introduction to IP networking designed specifically for broadcast and media professionals. Across nine modules, students build confidence from the ground up, whether they are transitioning into IP workflows for the first time or refreshing core networking knowledge. Strengthen your understanding of physical layer, data link, network, transport, and application layers, along with multicast technology and practical packet analysis using Wireshark - the essential foundation needed for today’s IP-based media environments.

  • Understanding ST 2110. Six modules over three weeks on the ST 2110 standards suite and the technologies behind modern IP-based media facilities. Lean how professional video, audio, and ancillary data are transported, synchronized, and managed in real-world broadcast environments. We cover the architecture and evolution of ST 2110, transport mechanisms for media flows, PTP timing and synchronization, and the role of AMWA NMOS specifications — including IS-04 and IS-05 for discovery and connection management — giving engineers the knowledge necessary to implement ST 2110 workflows.

  • Essentials of Media over IP (EMIP) Sponsored by EVS Broadcast Equipment. This new free course explores the Essentials of Media over IP (EMIP) course, free of charge thanks to the generosity of EVS Broadcast Equipment SA! Developed collaboratively by experts from SMPTE and EVS, with Kristof Van der Veken as the primary contributor, this course provides a foundational introduction to Media over IP technologies and workflows for professionals new to the field or looking to expand their expertise. Learners explore IP fundamentals—including addressing, switching, routing, subnetting, and multicast—before progressing into modern ST 2110 environments covering ST 2022, ST 2110 essence transport, SDP, PTP synchronization, NMOS workflows, and interoperability concepts for standards-based facilities. If you are a complete beginner in the Media over IP space, you need this course! Register here...
