pcap capture and recording

Capture ST 2110 to pcap, on alarm or for as long as you need

Keep an in-memory pcap ring and open it in Wireshark. Record seconds before and after every alarm. Replay a pcap as a test source.

See more at once, and keep the evidence

Personal and Team

Multiviewer

Streams in a grid, named from NMOS, with alarm-color borders, audio meters and black and freeze markers. Click a tile for full resolution with scopes. Personal: 4 tiles. Team: up to 36.

Personal and Team

Recording on alarm and reports

Each alarm saves a pcap with seconds before and after, named in the event log. Search the log. Export CSV, JSON or an HTML report with diagnosis, streams, events and pcap links, ready for a support ticket.

Team

Long-term recording

Record to disk as long as you need, with file rotation and a disk limit. Keep headers only to save space.

Personal and Team

Send an mp4 file

Play an mp4 (H.264 or H.265) as ST 2110 video and audio, fitted to your format and looped. Uses Windows' own decoders. H.265 needs Microsoft's HEVC Video Extensions.

Personal and Team

Blackmagic IP10

Receive and send Blackmagic's IP10 codec: 4K over one 10 GbE link.

Team

Remote probes

A permanent measurement point in a rack or 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 help faster and see the common faults. Off by default. You see what is sent and can delete your data any time. Picture, sound and AI conversations are never sent.

Receive and inspect

Loss, reordering and timing next to the picture

2110 Toolkit scopes for a live 2160p50 ST 2110 stream: picture monitor with gamut warning, RGB parade, vectorscope and luma waveform

Analyze: receive and inspect

  • Video, audio and ANC for ST 2110-20, -30 and -40. Up to 4K via DPDK on an Intel X550 (10 GbE) or NVIDIA ConnectX-6 Dx (25 GbE). 1080p on a standard Windows NIC
  • Blackmagic IP10 for 4K over 10 GbE
  • Full-resolution picture on the GPU. Waveform, vectorscope, RGB parade, histogram and a 10-bit pixel inspector
  • Freeze, black and gamut alerts catch a stuck or clipped source
  • Multiviewer: up to 36 streams, named from NMOS, with alarm borders and audio meters
  • Audio levels for every stream. EBU R128 loudness, true peak, correlation and Lissajous
  • Timecode, captions (CEA-608/708 and OP-47), AFD, SCTE-104 and VPID, live from the ANC
  • Bitrate, loss, reordering, packet-interval histograms, ST 2110-21 timing and NIC drops per stream
  • An in-memory pcap ring that opens in Wireshark, plus recording on alarm
Diagnosis

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 to do.

The diagnosis checks the network card, multicast, PTP, NMOS, the stream description (SDP), loss and timing, and the picture itself. The root cause comes first. If the network card drops packets, that sits on top, with the loss and broken frames it causes below. Every finding has a plain-English explanation, the measurements behind it and suggested fixes.

Start it from an alarm, a stream or an NMOS receiver. Save the result as a report for a support ticket.

What's sent, not what's claimed

The app compares the sender's SDP with what arrives: resolution, frame rate, interlaced or progressive, channel count, channel order and packet time. SDP says 1080p50, the wire carries 1080i50? You see it at once.

Frame rate, resolution, black and freeze are measured on every video stream, not only the one you watch.

NMOS that matches reality

The app reads the NMOS registry and checks it against the network. It flags a sender that is off, a receiver tied to a sender that no longer exists, and a receiver on a different group than its sender.

Active tests

When measuring is not enough, the app tests, but only after you click. It sends a test stream through the network and checks it comes back. It rejoins a group and times the first packet. It compares loss with other streams from the same switch. It lists every PTP master it hears.

So you know if the fault is in the network, the source or the receiver.

FAQ

Questions engineers ask

Can I export what happened for a support ticket?
Yes. Every alarm saves a pcap with a few seconds before and after, named in the event log. Search the log and export it as CSV, JSON or an HTML report with the diagnosis, streams, events and links to the pcap files.
What does the 2110 Toolkit actually check?
Everything on the wire for ST 2110-20, -30, -31 and -40, plus ST 2022-7 and Blackmagic IP10. Picture: full resolution with waveform, vectorscope, RGB parade, histogram, pixel inspector and freeze, black and gamut alerts. Audio: levels for every stream, EBU R128 loudness and true peak. ANC: timecode, captions, AFD, SCTE-104 and VPID. Network: bitrate, loss, reordering, packet-interval histograms and ST 2110-21 timing against Narrow, Narrow Linear and Wide. Timing: PTP offset, path delay, Allan deviation, RTP time against PTP, and audio and video sync.Read the pcap capture guide
What's the difference between Personal and Team?
Personal: one user on two computers, 4-tile multiviewer. Team: up to five users on ten computers, a multiviewer with up to 36 tiles, long-term recording to disk, remote probes with a REST API and alarms to syslog, webhooks and SNMP, and priority email support. Both plans have everything else, including the diagnosis, AI analysis, ST 2022-7, recording on alarm and Blackmagic IP10.
What hardware do I need?
A Windows 10/11 PC with a network adapter. Supported cards: Intel X550 (10 GbE) and NVIDIA ConnectX-6 Dx (25 GbE). Full 4K uses DPDK on either card. A standard Windows NIC handles 1080p. DPDK is optional. It needs administrator rights, Windows test signing mode and Secure Boot off; the setup guide explains what that means for the machine. You need no waveform monitor, protocol analyzer or PTP grandmaster. The toolkit can be its own PTP grandmaster and NMOS registry when your network has none.Read the PC and network setup guide
