Nevion
Architects of virtualized media production
A solution you can trust
Built on experience
Virtuoso is the culmination of over 20 years of Nevion experience in the media and broadcasting industry, and 15 years delivering IP solutions. It embeds an unparalleled level of know-how, both in LAN and WAN environments.
Proven in the field
Less than 18 months after Nevion launched Virtuoso, multiple 100s of units were already deployed in a variety of applications, including IP in the facilities, contribution, remote production and DTT. These have been used by leading organizations to cover high profile events such as the Olympics and the English Premier League.
Backed by expertise
Behind Virtuoso is a whole organization, with experts in all the relevant fields (broadcasting, telecoms, baseband, IP and more), ready to help plan and deliver projects, as well as provide the required training and any support needed.
Suitable for any situation
Easy to manage
Centrally managing Nevion Virtuosos in the field could not be simpler – thanks to Nevion’s VideoIPath orchestration and SDN management software.
Setting-up Media Functions
With VideoIPath, it is easy to manage the Media Functions on multiple appliances, changing the configuration of the software, or updating it to make use of the latest functionality – all this in a planned and organized way.
Routing signals
VideoIPath can route signals to and from media functions on any Virtuoso in the media network. This enables infrastructure virtualization, whereby the functionality of an appliance can be shared for multiple applications.
Monitoring
VideoIPath can collect the monitoring data from all the Virtuoso appliances in the media network, aggregate it together with other elements and present meaningful information about the status of the network and services.
Running on high-performing appliances
The Nevion Virtuoso platform has been designed to allow for the provision of Media Servers (appliances) with different characteristics, such as size, number of Media Accelerators they can accommodate and level of modularity, in order to suit virtually any requirement.
The Virtuoso M4 Media Server is 1RU in size, and can hold up to four Media Accelerators. hhjhj
Case studies
We make things happen
TV 2
TV 2, the largest commercial television broadcaster in Norway, selected Nevion to provide the IP-based software defined network (SDN) solution that connects studios, control rooms and data-centers within and between the broadcaster’s two main production facilities. The solution enables the broadcaster to make better use of production talent, equipment and locations.
RTL II
Following the acquisition of three channels-in-a-box servers for OTT programs, German broadcaster RTL II decided that all the routing in the new environment should be exclusively IP-based, using SMPTE 2022-6/7. All new devices also need to be free of traditional SDI-BNC connections. For this RTL II selected Virtuoso.
