SMPTE®, the home of media professionals, technologists, and engineers, today announced that the Television Academy will award SMPTE, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), and Video Services Forum (VSF) an Emmy® for Outstanding Achievement in Engineering, Science & Technology for the development of SMPTE ST 2110.
“I'm extremely proud of the entire SMPTE team, both staff and members, alongside our partners at EBU and VSF,” said SMPTE President, Richard Welsh. “Their dedication and hard work bringing ST 2110 to the industry is deservedly honoured with this fantastic recognition from the Television Academy.”
SMPTE ST 2110 is a suite of standards developed by SMPTE, EBU, and VSF for transmitting uncompressed and compressed video, audio, and data over Internet Protocol (IP) networks in professional live TV production environments. It emerged as a replacement for a more rigid infrastructure based on the traditional Serial Digital Interface (SDI), offering greater flexibility and scalability. It is now widely adopted around the world for live media production and other applications, enabling new and more efficient ways to produce live TV content in a low-latency fashion.
“Standards are in the DNA of SMPTE, going right back to our founding in 1916, but still as relevant today in helping the industry bring content and amazing experiences to the world,” said Welsh. “This Emmy recognizes the huge effort and innovation that happens, often in the background or out of public view, but is so essential to bringing all forms of media to audiences.”
SMPTE, EBU, and VSF will be awarded this honor during the 77th Engineering, Science & Technology Emmy® Awards ceremony on Oct. 14, 2025.
