IS-04: discovery & registration - mechanisms, protocols and APIs to enable discovery of
available resources, devices and streams and their current status on a network of any size
•
IS-05: connection management – mechanisms, protocols and APIs to enable connection
management among devices and management systems
•
IS-06: network control - mechanisms, protocols and APIs to gather topology information,
available device and network resources to enable management of flows on the network
Further work is being conducted on timing and identity models and applicability of dematerialized
(virtualized, cloud-based) environments. Wherever possible, the specifications are being developed
using Internet standards or Internet-friendly techniques. They are complementary to and co-exist
with industry specifications and standards; for example, VSF TR-03, SMPTE ST-2110 and AES67.

SMPTE ST 2110
SMPTE ST 2110 is an emerging suite of standards defining synchronized elementary essence
transport (video, audio, metadata) on IP networks. The basic principles are very similar or even
identical to AES67; in fact, AES67 has been chosen as the standard for audio essence transport.

Transport of linear PCM audio data will be defined in ST 2110-30. While ST 2110-30 defines a few minor
constraints with respect to AES67, it is safe to say as of today that any AES67 device will be ST 2110-30-
compliant.
