 Hi, my name's Andy and in this video we're going to be looking at the latency that we can get when running videos over a 2110 network. Now, if you're fairly new to the idea of video over 2110, one of your reservations might be that you're a little bit worried about the latency, that you can have a lot of delay. It's going to be really hard to get things synchronized up. So what we've done here, we've created a little setup so that you can actually see what happens and what the latency actually is. And spoiler alert, it's not going to be a problem. This is not a scientific setup. We're not looking to precisely define the amount of latency in nanoseconds. This is just to give you an idea of what kind of latency you can expect in a practical situation. So just to explain what we have here, I have a little video splitter. So I have a signal coming in via HDMI and then it comes out twice as an SDI signal. Once with the blue dot on the cable going into the blue dot monitor, which if I disconnect turns off and then again with the cable with the red dot going into the red dot monitor. Now if I disconnect this cable, then there's no signal coming in here. So nothing being displayed on the screen down there. And I have here two fusions, which are part of our media net IP range. Now this fusion is encoding the SDI signal as 2110, and this fusion is decoding the 2110 signal into SDI. So I'm going to take the SDI signal coming out of the splitter and feed it into the encoder. I'm simply going to plug the SDI cable in here, and then once it's in, then the signal comes out of the splitter. Once goes to this monitor here. As you can see, the other signal is going through the cable into the fusion, which is then encoding it, sending it via the fiber to our switch. And then it goes through the switch out of this fiber into this fusion device. And then we get an SDI signal, which comes out of here. So if I take this SDI cable, which remember is connected to this monitor, I plug it in to the output of the fusion, then the signal we get here is exactly the same signal as it's coming from our video player. But now instead of going the direct route over the cable from the splitter to the screen, it's actually going from the splitter to the encoder into the switch, back out to the decoder, and then into the monitor. And we've taken a slow-mo camera, which is filming the two screens side by side. So you can see what the difference is with the frame count between the video that is going directly and the video that is going over the IP system. Now, a couple of things to be aware of when you're looking at the results of this. So as you can see here with a slow-mo of the direct connection, we're going from frame to frame. Now, this video was originally encoded in 50 frames per second. And here our player is playing it at 25 frames per second, which explains why you can only see the even frame numbers. Secondly, if you're dealing with a big network, you are going to see slightly more latency. Here we're running both devices off the same switch. Typically per switch, you can expect to have about five microseconds of latency. So if you're dealing with a big network, then you could start to notice that. In this case, we only have the one switch. And obviously any big network does depend on PTP for the synchronization between the devices. So there are other things that you need to think about, but with a very simple setup here, you can see what kind of delay you can realistically expect.
