Lawo and SMPTE have introduced the ST 2110 Practical Lab.
Created to boost migration from SDI to IP workflows across the industry, the immersive training programme based at Lawo’s Rastatt headquarters provides a hands-on environment in which participants can design, synchronise and troubleshoot live production IP networks.
The partnership expands on SMPTE’s structured education pathway, which includes:
- Introduction to SMPTE ST 2110 (Independent study) — ongoing enrolment throughout 2026.
- Understanding SMPTE ST 2110 (Instructor-led, virtual/online) — in-depth technical exploration of ST 2110 with peer learning through an online flipped classroom model.
- SMPTE ST 2110 Boot Camp (Intensive instructor-led, virtual/online training).
The environment provides the opportunity for professionals to apply their knowledge in real-world scenarios using Lawo’s solutions including the A__mic8 audio stagebox, .edge SDI/IP gateway, VSM, HOME management platform, and HOME Apps, said Lawo.
Wim Van Roy, educational architect at Lawo and 2025 education director at SMPTE, commented, “The transition to IP is one of the most significant evolutions in broadcast technology. By partnering with SMPTE and the wider industry, to deliver this Practical Lab, we’re empowering professionals to confidently design and operate ST 2110 workflows—supporting the industry’s future towards Dynamic Media Facilities powered by SMPTE ST 2110 standards.”
