The network configuration can be done in Desktop Video app and the devices will be auto-detected in the software on launch. ## DeckLink IP Cards - ST 2110 Video Streaming Guide ### Overview DeckLink IP/SDI HD cards enable professional ST 2110 video streaming over standard Ethernet networks, allowing you to transmit uncompressed, high-quality video signals between systems without traditional SDI infrastructure. This technology is particularly valuable for remote production workflows, multi-room facilities, and flexible broadcast setups where running long SDI cables isn't practical. ### Key Advantages of IP-Based Video Streaming **Network Flexibility** * Stream video over existing Ethernet infrastructure * Connect systems across different rooms or buildings * Eliminate the need for expensive SDI cable runs * Support for both direct connections and network switch configurations **Professional Quality** * Uncompressed 10-bit YCbCr video transmission * Support for various broadcast formats (1080p, 4K, different frame rates) * Low-latency streaming suitable for live production * Simultaneous SDI and IP output capabilities **Cost-Effective Scalability** * Use standard Ethernet cables and switches * Easier cable management compared to traditional SDI setups * Future-proof solution compatible with modern IP-based workflows * Reduced infrastructure costs for multi-location productions ### Common Use Cases * **Remote Production**: Monitor video feeds from distant locations * **Multi-Studio Facilities**: Share video signals between control rooms and studios * **Live Streaming Workflows**: Integrate with software-based production tools like OmniScope * **Backup and Redundancy**: Create IP-based backup paths for critical video signals * **Hybrid Workflows**: Bridge traditional SDI equipment with modern IP-based systems ### Configuration Requirements This guide demonstrates a working configuration for direct Ethernet connection between two DeckLink IP/SDI HD cards, covering the essential network settings, color space configuration, and troubleshooting steps needed for reliable ST 2110 streaming. *** *The following configuration has been tested with DeckLink IP/SDI HD cards in a direct connection setup, successfully streaming 10-bit YCbCr video between DaVinci Resolve and monitoring applications.* ## Example configuration for simple DeckLink IP HD card setup Assuming we have 2 machines equipped with DeckLink IP card connected via ethernet cable directly, here's the sender configuration:

Here's the configuration on the receiving end:

If the configuration is correct and both cards see each other, you should be able to see the signal info on the receiving end in the "Ethernet" section:

Also make sure that the signal settings are set properly - looks like auto-detection doesn't work properly and sending RGB signal (4:4:4) can cause issues on the receiving end:

{% hint style="info" %} Both cards can be connected with a regular ethernet cable (doesn't need to be crossed). CAT.6 cable is recommended. {% endhint %}
