See what's actually on the wire, and what's wrong with it.
A Windows app that analyzes, generates and troubleshoots SMPTE ST 2110 streams. Scopes, PTP timing, NMOS control and a signal generator in one place, plus a diagnosis that tells you the root cause when something breaks.
No card needed. The license key arrives by email within a minute.
- ST 2110-20, -30, -31 and -40
- ST 2022-7 redundancy
- Blackmagic IP10
- PTP: ST 2059-2 and AES67
- NMOS IS-04 and IS-05

- Windows 10 and 11
One PC and a 10 GbE card, instead of a rack
Checking an ST 2110 and NMOS install usually takes a waveform monitor, a protocol analyzer, a PTP grandmaster and an NMOS controller, each in its own box. And when something breaks, you still have to work out which of their numbers matters. 2110 Toolkit puts all of it, plus a signal generator, into one Windows app. Install it on a laptop, plug in a NIC, and see the picture, audio, network and timing. When something is off, the diagnosis tells you where to look first.
Analyze and generate, in the same app
Analyze: receive and inspect

The app tells you what's wrong
Most analyzers show hundreds of measurements and leave the conclusion to you. 2110 Toolkit checks the whole chain and tells you what is most likely wrong, why, and what you can do about it.
The diagnosis checks the network card, multicast, PTP, NMOS, the stream description (SDP), loss and timing, and the picture itself. It shows the root cause first. If the network card is dropping packets, that goes at the top, and the loss and broken frames that follow from it sit underneath. Every finding comes with a plain-English explanation, the measurements behind it and suggested fixes.
Start the diagnosis from an alarm, from a stream or from an NMOS receiver. You can save the result as a report and attach it to a support ticket.
See what's sent, not just what's claimed
2110 Toolkit compares what the sender promises in its SDP with what actually arrives on the network: resolution, frame rate, interlaced or progressive, audio channel count, channel order and packet time. If the SDP says 1080p50 but the sender is sending 1080i50, you see it right away.
Frame rate, resolution and black or frozen picture are measured for every video stream at once, not just the one you're watching.
NMOS that matches reality
The app reads what the NMOS registry says about senders and receivers, and checks it against the network. It spots a sender that is switched off, a receiver connected to a sender that no longer exists, and a receiver listening to a different group than the one its sender is sending to.
Active tests
When the measurements are not enough, the app tests for itself, always after a click: it sends its own test stream through the network and checks that it comes back, rejoins a group and times the first packet, compares the loss with other streams from the same switch, and listens for PTP to list every master it hears.
That tells you whether the fault is in the network, the source or the receiver.
AI that works from real measurements
Ask about your network in your own words. The answers build on the diagnosis, not on guesswork.
AI analysis in the app
Ask in plain words, such as "Why is the audio crackling on channel 3?", and get an answer built on the diagnosis measurements from your own network. The AI points out the likely cause, suggests the next step and says what the app cannot see.
The AI never changes anything. It can suggest a test, ask to look at a frame or propose rerouting a receiver in NMOS, but you decide and do it yourself. You see exactly what is sent, and can hide addresses and names.
Connect your own AI assistant
2110 Toolkit has a built-in MCP server. It lets AI assistants such as Claude Desktop and Claude Code read what the app sees and run the diagnosis. Ask "Why is the picture on CAM-3 black?" and get an answer based on real measurements from your network.
The assistant can explain and suggest, but it can never change devices, streams or settings. The connection is off by default, only works on your own computer and needs a key. Turn it on with a checkbox and the app gives you a ready-made config to paste in.
Timing, lip sync and both paths of ST 2022-7
ST 2110-21 sender timing
Each sender measured against Narrow, Narrow Linear and Wide, with Cinst, VRX and TRoffset, so you know which receivers it will work with before it reaches them.
RTP time against PTP
How far behind PTP time each stream sits, in microseconds and lines. It exposes senders that are not PTP-locked, the wrong clock and timestamps in the future.
Audio and video sync
The offset between sound and picture in milliseconds, judged against the EBU limits.
Flash and beep
Send the app's flash and beep pattern through a mixer, encoder or multiviewer and measure the lip sync through the equipment itself.
ST 2022-7: both paths
The app finds the red and blue paths on its own and shows loss per path, how many packets the other path rescued, loss after merging and the path skew against receiver classes A, B and C. You see when protection covers a fault, and when a path has gone and the protection with it.
PTP and NMOS, not bolted on
PTP monitor
Hardware timestamps show offset, path delay, Allan deviation and SMPTE ST 2059-2 TLVs, so you can see whether your grandmaster is really holding lock.
Built-in grandmaster
No PTP source on the bench? The toolkit can be its own grandmaster on the X550, with ST 2059-2 or AES67 profiles and BMCA, so you always have a reference to test against.
NMOS controller
IS-04 discovery through a registry or peer-to-peer mDNS, IS-05 connect and disconnect, and sender on/off, from the same app that does the analysis.
NMOS node and registry
The toolkit registers itself as an NMOS node, and ships a local IS-04 registry (nmos-cpp) with a web UI for networks that don't have one.
Every channel, every caption, every timecode
Every audio stream at once
Level meters for all audio streams, not just the one you are listening to, with EBU R128 loudness and true peak for the pair you monitor. Channel names come from the SDP's channel order, such as L, R, C and LFE.
ST 2110-31 (AES3)
Dolby E and other SMPTE 337 data are recognized, and channel status, CRC and the V bit are checked.
Timecode
Live timecode from the ANC stream, checked to advance one frame per picture and compared with PTP time. An alarm goes off when it jumps or stands still.
Captions
CEA-608, CEA-708 and teletext subtitles (OP-47) that you can read right in the app, with full national character sets, or show on top of the picture. An alarm goes off when captions stop arriving.
AFD, SCTE-104, VPID and metadata
The ANC data window shows AFD in plain words, such as "pillarbox 4:3 in 16:9", checked against the picture. SCTE-104 ad signals are decoded into the event log, VPID is shown in plain words and compared with the SDP, and audio and HDR metadata are shown when present.
See more at once, and keep the evidence
Multiviewer
Many streams at once in a grid, named from NMOS, with a border in the alarm color, audio meters and black and freeze markers. Click a tile to see the stream in full resolution with scopes. Personal has 4 tiles, Team up to 36.
Recording on alarm and reports
When an alarm goes off, a pcap file with a few seconds before and after is saved and named in the event log. Search the log and export it as CSV or JSON, or as an HTML report with diagnosis, streams, events and links to the pcap files, ready to attach to a support ticket.
Long-term recording
Record straight to disk for as long as you need, with file rotation and a disk limit, and headers only if you want to save space.
Send an mp4 file
Play an mp4 file (H.264 or H.265) as ST 2110 video and audio, fitted to the format you choose and looped. The app uses Windows' own decoders; H.265 needs Microsoft's HEVC Video Extensions.
Blackmagic IP10
Receive and send Blackmagic's IP10 codec for 4K over a single 10 GbE link.
Remote probes
2110 Toolkit as a permanent measurement point in a rack or an OB van, with a REST API and alarms to syslog, webhooks (Slack, Teams) and SNMP.
Error logging, if you want it
Send error logs to LivePictureAI so we can help faster and see which faults are most common. It is off by default, you see what is sent and can delete your data whenever you like. Picture, sound and AI conversations are never sent.
Verified against commercial 2110 hardware
2110 Toolkit has been verified interoperable with a commercial ST 2110 converter, with NMOS registration, IS-05 connection management, reception and PTP lock all confirmed against real hardware.
Long-run PTP lock holds, and a third-party ST 2110 receiver joins and decodes the stream the toolkit sends. It is a diagnostic and generation tool, not a certified conformance suite. Subscribe or start a 14-day trial below, and the license key and download link are emailed to you automatically.
