Secure Media Transport refers to the methods and technologies used to protect audio, video, and data streams as they are transmitted over IP networks. In broadcast and live production environments, secure media transport ensures that media flows remain confidential, authentic, and unaltered, while still meeting strict requirements for low latency, high bandwidth, and reliability. It is a critical component of modern IP-based and distributed production workflows.
What Nevion Does
Nevion enables secure media transport across IP-based media networks by combining secure network design with software-defined orchestration. Solutions such as VideoIPath support controlled routing, protected paths, and secure management of media flows across SMPTE ST 2110 environments. Security mechanisms are applied to control and management layers to ensure that only authorized systems can establish, modify, or monitor media transport paths in live production infrastructures.
Additionally, Nevion Virtuoso supports secure and reliable media transport over IP networks through standards and features such as SRT, SMPTE ST 2022-7 redundancy, FEC, and network/content security capabilities, further strengthening the protection and reliability of live media workflows.
Complementing this, Nevion MOXELA extends secure media processing and transport to software-based and cloud-native environments, supporting open standards such as SMPTE ST 2110 and NDI, and integrating tightly with VideoIPath to enable unified orchestration and control across on-premises and cloud deployments
