In today’s broadcast environment, Transport Stream-centric monitoring of the QoS is essential, particularly at the many potentially vulnerable handover points in the video distribution chain between all the operators involved and their technologies. Satellite transmission is an important part of the broadcast value chain, so Nevion is delighted to extend the superlative monitoring capabilities of the TNS4200 to cover this.

Nevion is one of the original pioneers of JPEG 2000 compression technology. We’ve been at the core of the continuing development of industry standards for many years, and we look forward to this next step and what it means for the industry.

As a pioneer of IP media transport that has played an active role in driving the convergence of broadcast, IT and telecoms technologies, we were very excited about taking part in this proof of concept with FOX NE&O. With new technologies that address traditional concerns about the use of IP for professional media networking, the time has come for forward-thinking broadcasters to benefit from the flexibility, cost savings and new revenue streams that IP brings.

We believe that professional media networking over IP is the future of broadcast. Transporting uncompressed live HD video over an Ethernet infrastructure can deliver greater flexibility and cost savings for broadcasters. We carried out this proof of concept in conjunction with Nevion to test some of the video processing requirements of professional media networks.

Nevion was able to provide the best solution for this project based on their products’ small footprint, low power consumption and high-density fiber capacity. We also have a great relationship with the Nevion team and value their excellent support.

We worked in close partnership with SAVI to deliver a complete transport, routing and switching solution. With their proven track record for reliability, ease of use and installation, low power consumption and compact size, Nevion Flashlink and VikinX solutions are ideal for any professional broadcast application.
