Nevion Highlights IP-based Media Services

SANDEFJORD, Norway -- At IBC (stand 1.B71) Nevion, a leading provider of next-generation managed media transport, will highlight enhanced uncompressed as well as compressed—JPEG 2000 and H.264—media transport solutions, and new protection schemes for the most optimised and reliable signal transport over IP.

Nevion provides a range of standards-compliant and highly interoperable options for video transport over IP/Ethernet networks, from bit-perfect uncompressed transport to visually lossless JPEG 2000 compression, to highly efficient H.264/AVC compression. Nevion’s JPEG 2000 compression options are ideally suited to live remote production, saving costs by centralising editing and production resources and ensuring improved production headroom and ultimately better picture quality. For bandwidth-limited environments, Nevion’s H.264/AVC compression technology is a smart balance between quality, latency and cost, providing flexibility and multifunctional utility in a single module.

Nevion’s protection portfolio, encompassing both industry standard and enhanced protection mechanisms, deliver precise, end-to-end reliability spanning a multitude of applications - video, analogue/digital audio, compressed services and E1 emulation. Seamless switching solutions for ASI and transport streams over IP include intelligent 1+1 redundancy changeover between two transport streams, greatly improving system reliability and availability. To minimise the impact of immediate network failures on live media services, Nevion’s next-generation protection technologies are implemented into video edge hardware.
