It’s #DidYouKnow Tuesday time! Today we’re focusing on the growing capabilities of our #NevionVirtuoso product. Virtuoso will soon be integrating Sony’s ground-breaking low latency #HEVC CODEC, which provides compression ratios of close to 1 to 200 and a latency of around seven frames! It’s especially useful when bandwidth is limited. Keep an eye on our solutions page for the latest updates: https://lnkd.in/dgcBxKJ

If you’re curious about the real-world usage of #5Gtechnology in content production and contribution, don’t miss tomorrow’s webinar organized by European Broadcasting Union (EBU).   This session features insights from Erik Vold from NRK, Morten Brandstrup from the Danish broadcaster, TV 2 Danmark and Simon Eley from BBC. They'll share the latest tests and trials conducted by EBU member organizations and will explore how 5G-based production differs from the conventional wireless production.   🎥 Amongst others, TV 2 will highlight the proof of concept they did in collaboration with Sony, Nevion, Node-H and Cumucore, which successfully integrated #5G technology into their live studio production, marking a major milestone for the #broadcasting industry.   Register for the webinar and learn how we’ve transformed production workflows together: https://lnkd.in/eyBfRcdJ

And just like that, our team has returned from another successful #NABShow! We hope everyone who attended enjoyed exploring the latest developments in the media, entertainment and #broadcast industry, and learning about the latest innovations in our flagship products Virtuoso and VideoIPath.   Some of our key takeaways from this year’s show included:   1️⃣ 𝐍𝐀𝐁 𝐢𝐬 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤! This was the first show post-pandemic that truly felt like a return to normal, underlining the importance of face-to-face interactions in our industry.   2️⃣ 𝐅𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞: Though there were fewer event attendees this year, those who came had very specific interests, making for more targeted engagements.   3️⃣ 𝐈𝐏 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦, 𝐛𝐮𝐭… many adopters still view it primarily as a technological upgrade rather than a transformative shift in workflow. Our Nevion case studies captivated attendees by highlighting the broader potential of IP to revolutionize production processes.   4️⃣ 𝐇𝐲𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐝 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐠𝐨: The use of #CloudTechnology in live production remains a big draw, though the focus is now on hybrid on-prem/cloud workflows. #NetworkedLive resonated particularly well with attendees, especially the optimized media transport to and from the cloud, and the unified and seamless orchestration across LANs, WANs and cloud.   5️⃣ 𝐀𝐈 𝐢𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐮𝐩 𝐟𝐚𝐬𝐭: #AI is making big inroads in production and generating a lot of interest. We are likely to see a lot more of AI across the value chain by the next NAB Show!   We look forward to seeing you all again next year!

We’re taking a trip back in time to 2021 with a radio project we completed for Yle, Finland’s national public broadcasting company 🕰️ Digita Oy, a Finnish telecom company, chose Nevion to help devise a highly innovative #IP media network for FM and internet radio services, which replaced legacy architecture. The modern #IP network enabled contribution and primary distribution that could be controlled from any location. It was connected to around 50 national and regional studios, with 47 transmitter sites and six main switching centers. Due to Covid restrictions, Nevion and Digita collaborated closely remotely to devise the solution, which is also built on our Virtuoso software-defined media node.

Multicamera productions can benefit from the power of #5G 🎥 Despite the high performance of 5G networks, the volume of data needed for transportation in real-time often exceeds the available bandwidth on the connection. With Sony | Professional Europe’s ultra-low latency #HEVC compression technology, multiple high quality #VideoSignals can easily fit within the 5G bandwidth, and, via Deutsche Telekom’s QoD CAMARA APIs, Nevion’s VideoIPath can dynamically adjust the QoS to prioritize video over other traffic.
