PTP/ST 2059 Made Easy
Synopsis:
Genlock with analogue black was easy. You just plugged your analog black reference coax cable into the plug labelled genlock and it worked. You had 2 SPGs and 1 ACO and your master reference was done. Easy peasy and hard to get wrong. PTP/2059 adds a lot of flexibility and unfortunately this allows you to do it wrong. Some early implementations did it wrong and had issues. This has created some bad feelings in the industry towards PTP/ST 2059. This presentation will cover some easy to follow PTP/ST 2059 best practices that will ensure a successful PTP/ST 2059 deployment.
