The process of strengthening broadcast and media infrastructure by reducing vulnerabilities, limiting unnecessary services, and enforcing secure configurations across devices, servers, and network components. A continuous and proactive practice to protect mission-critical IP-based systems against cyberattacks, misconfigurations, and unauthorized access.
An open-source protocol developed under the Linux Foundation and EBU, enabling real-time, in-memory exchange of uncompressed media and metadata between software applications in broadcast environments. A vendor-neutral interoperability layer designed to reduce latency, simplify integration, and accelerate the transition to fully software-defined media facilities.
A SMPTE Recommended Practice providing cybersecurity guidance for ST 2110 IP media systems, covering segmentation, access control, and risk assessment to help broadcasters build secure, resilient live production infrastructures.
A conceptual security perimeter where the level of trust changes, requiring controls such as authentication, authorization, and encryption. Essential in IP-based, software-defined broadcast networks to protect critical media workflows across distributed production environments.
A globally recognized open-source framework providing best practices and tools to identify and prevent critical application-level security risks, increasingly relevant for software-defined and IP-based broadcast environments.
PIM (Protocol Independent Multicast) and IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) are essential for managing multicast traffic in IP networks. IGMP handles group membership, while PIM directs multicast routing—together enabling efficient, scalable media streaming and broadcast delivery.
Software-Defined Networking (SDN) revolutionizes network management by separating control and data planes. This centralized, software-based approach delivers programmable, flexible, and automated network control, ideal for dynamic IP-based broadcast and media infrastructures.
A Broadcast Control System (BCS) is the operational hub of modern broadcasting. It enables engineers to configure, monitor, and automate devices, signals, and workflows—ensuring seamless routing, redundancy, tally, and alarm management for reliable media production and playout.
Learn what a tally system is and how it informs live broadcast operations. Discover how Nevion evolves tally lights into software-defined broadcast control, integrating real-time on-air status within VideoIPath Broadcast Control.
Understand Transport Stream (TS) — the foundation of digital broadcasting. Learn how Nevion’s Virtuoso platform manages TS for professional contribution, distribution, and monitoring across IP and traditional broadcast networks.
Explore the future of broadcasting with Software Defined Broadcast (SDB). Learn how Nevion replaces fixed-function hardware with software-defined media functions to enable flexible, scalable, and efficient broadcast operations.
Discover how cloud orchestration automates and manages hybrid cloud workflows for broadcasters. See how Nevion’s orchestration solutions streamline resource provisioning, scaling, and workflow automation across distributed media infrastructures.
