NAB 2016: Net Insight Launches Nimbra Media Gateway

Net Insight (Booth SU3821) is launching its Nimbra Media Gateway, a fully interoperable SMPTE 2022-based JPEG2000 contribution gateway. Intended to meet the needs of live video-over-IP in multivendor environments, the Nimbra Media Gateway complements the existing Nimbra MSR family, designed for large-scale and high-performing media networks.

Nimbra Media Gateway hosts a high-end JPEG2000 codec that is field-proven and widely recognized for its compression performance and video quality. Its modular design ensures seamless capacity and functional expansion, offering a high degree of support for future formats and standards without the need for hardware replacement. Adding to the company’s comprehensive SMPTE 2022 offering for HD video and MPEG-4, the Nimbra Media Gateway helps broadcasters interconnect for efficient live media exchange.

“Net Insight actively works with our broadcast customers in their transition from native technologies to IP and is a strong advocate of open and interoperable standards.” says Martin Karlsson, CTO/VP, product portfolio, Net Insight. “Our vision is a global media ecosystem where live content is exchanged in real time across the world, over standard multivendor infrastructures, to support the rapidly changing needs of today’s broadcast industry.”

Nimbra Media Gateway enables broadcasters and service providers to easily mix and match native SDI with SMPTE 2022-6 IP interfaces for a seamless and cost-efficient transition to IP in studios and broadcast facilities. With Nimbra Vision for centralized management, as well as instant service provisioning through the Touch&Switch intuitive user interface, broadcasters can scale up media-transport services to support growing business needs, without impact on operational costs.
