SMPTE 2059

In this article, we will explore in detail the fascinating world of SMPTE 2059. From its origins to its impact on today's society, we will immerse ourselves in a journey of discovery and enrichment. SMPTE 2059 has been a source of interest and debate for centuries, and on this occasion we aim to shed light on its many facets. Throughout the next lines, we will examine in depth its characteristics, its influence in different areas and the future perspectives that are seen around it. Get ready to enter a universe of knowledge and reflection about SMPTE 2059!

SMPTE 2059 is a standard from the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) that describes how to synchronize video equipment over an IP network.[1] The standard is based on IEEE 1588-2008. SMPTE 2059 is published in two parts on 9 April 2015:

  • SMPTE 2059-1 – Defines signal generation based on time information delivered by the IEEE 1588 protocol.[2]
  • SMPTE 2059-2 – Defines an operating profile for the IEEE protocol optimized to the needs of media synchronization.[3]

SMPTE 2059 is an integral part of emerging professional IP video broadcast technology and standards.[4][5]

In May 2016, the Audio Engineering Society published a report describing synchronization interoperability between AES67 and SMPTE 2059-2.[6]
