Nevion VideoIPath media orchestration platform puts the spotlight on ease-of-use
Latest software upgrade adds key features to enhance productivity
Oslo, Norway, 2 September, 2025 – Nevion, a Sony Group Company, announced today that the latest upgrade to its media orchestration platform VideoIPath is focusing on usability. The new release is packed with new features, including a simplified configuration, multi-language support and single sign-on (SSO), designed to make it easier to handle media workflows for live production.
Nevion VideoIPath is a key component of Sony’s Networked Live offering and is widely deployed by broadcasters and telecom service providers throughout the world in applications as diverse as broadcast facilities, contribution, remote production, OB trucks and cloud production. Combining broadcast control, orchestration and monitoring capabilities, VideoIPath is an open system that allows it to be integrated into existing environments, with interfaces to any device and equipment, and support for familiar control surfaces.
From its inception, VideoIPath has been designed to hide the complexity of managing broadcast infrastructure to enable operations to achieve their production goals quickly and efficiently, without requiring support from technical experts. VideoIPath’s user interface, customizability and configuration are constantly updated to improve usability – not only for users, but also for system administrators.
In recent months, Nevion has enhanced the so-called Panel app to enables users to create bespoke panels without any programming (no code approach), simply by dragging and dropping widgets on a web-GUI canvas. The resulting software panels can then be used to control workflows through computers, tablets and even panels equipped with touch screens. The Panel app is constantly being enhanced, for example with the addition of new widgets, contributing to a dramatic simplification of customizability.
The latest release of VideoIPath also sees a reorganization of the users’ desktop. All settings have been moved to a separate unified view, leaving the default desktop with just the apps required for operations. The list of apps shown to individual users is also configurable, for example based on user profiles, clearing the desktop of unnecessary apps.
VideoIPath now also offers multi-language support. Languages can be assigned to individual users, who can also easily switch between languages dynamically (without the need to restart the system). Work is now on-going to offer some of the most commonly used languages with the system. The system also allows 3rd parties, including customers, to create their own language files.
A further major enhancement to VideoIPath is the support of SSO. This means that users can be administered externally to VideoIPath, for example within a corporate user administration system. It also means that users can sign-on to VideoIPath with the same credentials they use for other corporate applications. This dramatically simplifies the user administration process.
Beyond usability, the latest release also features interfaces to Sony and 3rd party equipment, and general enhancements across the system.
Arne-Johan Martinsen, Product Director for VideoIPath, at Nevion says: “Our industry is full of products with great functionality but which are incredibly difficult to use – designed by technical people with technical people in mind. We have made a conscious effort for many years to invest in usability, as we believe it’s a key factor in productivity for our customers. This latest release VideoIPath is a perfect illustration of this”.
VideoIPath will be on show at IBC 2025 (Amsterdam, 12-15 September, 2025), in the Networked Live area of Sony’s booth 13.A10.
