This standard defines an extensible data transfer protocol intended to carry multiple, often dissimilar, data streams synchronized with one another to support delivery of potentially complex radio program and data content along with associated control information, primarily from studios or other content sources to radio transmitters or other distribution channels, e.g., internally within a “studio” complex, as a Studio-to-Transmitter Link (STL), or for network program distribution. This standard provides the foundation for a suite of documents, the remainder of which define formatting of individual signals and data streams that are to be carried by the protocol described herein. The protocol utilizes Internet Protocol (IP) and various of its supplementary protocols, together with several services that permit synchronization and improve reliability and security of data delivery, as defined in this document. The protocol can include carriage of sampled and digitized analog signals along with a variety of data stream types. The protocol is adaptable to include carriage of any sort of data stream requiring such carriage that can be formatted as a defined Internet Protocol (IP) stream. The protocol does not define the physical layer bearers of the data streams defined herein.

Other Activities From This Working Group
Current projects that have been authorized by the IEEE SA Standards Board to develop a standard.
No Active Projects
Standards approved by the IEEE SA Standards Board that are within the 10-year lifecycle.
No Active Standards
These standards have been replaced with a revised version of the standard, or by a compilation of the original active standard and all its existing amendments, corrigenda, and errata.
No Superseded Standards
These standards have been removed from active status through a ballot where the standard is made inactive as a consensus decision of a balloting group.
No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards
These standards are removed from active status through an administrative process for standards that have not undergone a revision process within 10 years.
No Inactive-Reserved Standards
