The SMPTE ST 2059 IP core provides reliable time synchronization for broadcast and professional AV equipment, ensuring seamless audio and video alignment. By implementing standards such as ST 2059-1 and ST 2059-2, this core leverages IEEE 1588 PTP for precise time signal generation, contributing to high-accuracy sync across media networks.
This IP core aligns signals to a master time generator, crucial for maintaining synchronization during live productions. It supports non-PTP-aware switches, allowing flexibility and scalability across various network speeds, including 1G and up to 100G Ethernet networks.
Developed modularly with easy integration in mind, the ST 2059 core maintains compatibility with genlocked SDI equipment, paving the way for a unified approach to time-aligned media processing.
