Net Insight Launches Nimbra VA 210 Video Appliance for Cost Effective Contribution Over Unmanaged IP Networks
New business opportunities open up for Live Over-the-Top for broadcasters and
operators
STOCKHOLM, Sweden - Net Insight, a leading provider of efficient and scalable
transport solutions for media, IP and broadcast networks, today announces the
launch of its new Nimbra VA 210 video appliance that improves quality of service
over unmanaged IP first-mile connections. The Nimbra VA 210 expands network
footprints to offer media service providers the opportunity to address markets
that are currently out of their reach, due to costs related to first-mile
connectivity, enabling new channels for specialized content to be transported to
users and subscribers in a profitable way.
Using unmanaged IP networks to deliver content with quality has been a long,
sought-after goal for media service providers looking to capitalize on the
benefits that transporting media over this type of network offer. However,
unmanaged IP networks are engineered for best-effort data transfer, which
results in low quality when used for video transport. In areas such as remote
sporting arenas and live events that target niche audiences, Net Insight's
Nimbra VA 210 offers media operators and broadcasters the opportunity to extend
their network reach in an efficient way by using unmanaged IP networks to
transport content with an acceptable level of quality for video contribution and
in a way that significantly reduces costs for content creation and production.
By connecting Nimbra VA 210 video appliances to the nearest Nimbra MSR PoP,
broadcasters can significantly reduce cost for first-mile connectivity and shift
resources from transmission to content creation to improve their service
offerings and attract new target audiences.
"Until now, the high cost, availability issues and lease-times associated with
managed first-mile connectivity has made the contribution and production of
tier-2 and tier-3 events, such as regional sports, a prohibitive venture," says
Per Lindgren CTO and VP Business Development of Net Insight. "With the launch of
the Nimbra VA 210, there is now a way for operators, service providers and
broadcasters to overcome these challenges and begin addressing new markets
suitable for cost-effective new media production."
The Nimbra VA 210 incorporates content-aware Forward Error Correction (FEC),
which reduces effective packet loss and selective retransmission of
unrecoverable data loss. Coupled with clock synchronization, the Nimbra VA 210
can provide the reliable quality-of-service (QoS) layer that media operators
desire to confidently ingest content over unmanaged IP networks. It also offers
a fast time-to-market through the use of IP connections with short lease and
provisioning times.
Net Insight's new Nimbra VA 210 is scheduled for delivery at the end of March
2013.
