Nevion to unveil enhanced VideoIPath managed video services platform at NAB

Nevion will debut its second-generation VideoIPath platform, an integrated hardware/software solution for delivery of managed video and audio services at NAB 2012.

The provider of managed video services for broadcasters and service providers will demonstrate the abilities of VideoIPath to control network routing between media edge devices, providing network operators with the flexibility to control network redundancy, bandwidth allocation, and divert traffic around link failures, using multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) or virtual local area networks (VLAN).

Nevion is also unveiling a new broadcast-oriented user interface at NAB, providing end users with a highly intuitive way to provision and schedule connectivity across the network.

“VideoIPath incorporates new features that further elevate the ability to manage, protect and provide more flexible IP-based video networking,” said Eugene Keane, CTO, Nevion.

“These advancements are critical to enabling broadcasters and service providers to better monetise content of all types and the networks that transport them.”

Nevion’s universal IP transport module (VS902), providing multi-channel encapsulation of compressed—through industry-low latency, visually lossless JPEG compression—or uncompressed signals for highly protected video-over-IP service remains a highlight of the system. Streaming Intelligent Packet Switching (SIPS) developed by Nevion, is also integrated into VideoIPath, ensuring an even greater level of protection than Forward Error Correction (FEC) through perfect protection switching using dual network feeds.

The new Ventura VS906 solution, providing multichannel audio and data encapsulation for maximum bandwidth efficiency, is also integrated into the new VideoIPath release.
