Standards: Appendix L - SMPTE ST Standards Related To ST 2110
ST 2110 does not stand in isolation but relies on many other related SMPTE standards.
This is an Appendix to our series of articles on Standards.
There are several types of documents available from SMPTE:
• OV - Overview documents.
• ST - Published standards.
• RP - Recommended Practices that may be published as standards when they have been fully ratified.
• RDD - Registered Disclosure Documents are published by an organisation to document a proprietary protocol. Often these are de-facto standards. They might be subject to registration or licensing arrangements.
• EG - Engineering Guidelines that might become RP or ST documents later on.
SMPTE also publishes quarterly reports covering the most recent activity. These contain interesting notes about as yet unpublished standards documents.
Here is a list of the SMPTE standards released as parts of ST 2110 and the other related ST documents that support them. Refer to the SMPTE document repository for a complete list of their standards:
