Nevion introduces powerful a new Panel Builder to enhance VideoIPath broadcast control capability
New functionality allows users to design, deploy and manage hardware panel layouts with unprecedented ease and flexibility
Oslo, Norway, 24 March, 2026 – Nevion, a Sony Group Company, today announced a major enhancement to the broadcast control capabilities of its flagship media orchestration platform, VideoIPath, with the release of a new Panel Builder tool. This software enables broadcasters and media companies to easily design, configure and manage hardware control panels, without the need for physical devices during setup.
The new Panel Builder provides a visual representation of supported hardware panels directly within VideoIPath, allowing users to assign actions such as endpoint switching, connect/disconnect commands, profile or parameter settings, and multi-page navigation with simple drag-and-drop design. The system also supports advanced configurations such as stacked panels, whereby multiple hardware panels act seamlessly as one.
At launch, Panel Builder supports Sony MKS-R4020 and Elgato StreamDeck Studio control panels, with more to follow.
This new functionality dramatically simplifies both initial deployment and ongoing operations. Users can create layouts offline, replicate them across multiple locations or devices, and replace field panels instantly without re-engineering configurations. Because all logic resides inside VideoIPath rather than the panel hardware, the system enables more advanced functionality than standalone hardware can typically support, delivering a significant operational advantage for broadcasters.
This enhancement builds on the rapidly growing adoption of VideoIPath as a broadcast control system (BCS) by broadcasters worldwide, who are choosing the platform over more traditional control solutions thanks to its flexibility, scalability and powerful orchestration features.
The latest release of the VideoIPath software also includes integrations with Riedel intercom, Arista MCS, and Sony CNA-2 camera control, as well as a tag dictionary for assigning structured labels to endpoints, and various system improvements.
Arne-Johan Martinsen, Product Director for VideoIPath at Nevion explains: “The new Panel Builder represents a major step forward in making broadcast control more intuitive, powerful and flexible. This is all part of our commitment to continuously evolve VideoIPath to meet the needs of modern IP-based production.”
VideoIPath will be on show at the Sony booth (C8401) at the NAB Show in Las Vegas, April 18–22, 2026.
