Imagine Communications is marking a decade of SMPTE ST 2110 work at NAB2026 with updates aimed at practical hybrid operation. Magellan AudioFlex adds mono-channel audio routing and processing around the company’s established control and SNP infrastructure.
Imagine reports more than 6,000 deployed SNP units supporting approximately 180,000 video streams and three million audio streams. The portfolio continues to bridge SDI and ST 2110 rather than assuming every facility can complete an immediate all-IP replacement.
Why it matters
Long-term installed-base figures help distinguish production experience from standards demonstrations. Mono-level audio handling is also operationally important because video-centric routing abstractions often hide the flexibility audio teams require.
What still needs checking
The aggregate stream figures are vendor-reported and span different generations and configurations. They do not describe simultaneous capacity in one site or independent reliability measurements.
