Nimbra platform to transport broadcast of the world largest sporting event
for global operators and major right holders
Las Vegas (NAB 2010) - April 12, 2010 - Net Insight, a leading developer of
efficient and scalable transport solutions for media, IP and broadcast networks,
today announced it has been selected by 9 global media operators and major
rights holder, including ESPN, to deliver live HD and 3D broadcasts of the 2010
FIFA World Cup in South Africa, when upgrading their networks with the Nimbra
platform to deliver live video coverage and data services at 100 percent QoS to
the 1.5 billion viewers expected to tune-in across the globe.
For the first time, the entire four week event will be broadcast live in full HD
to soccer fans in over 130 countries. To support this scale of broadcast,
operators require a solution that allows them to produce, distribute and deliver
the premium content consumers demand. With the highest quality transport with
97 percent utilization the Nimbra provides the most efficient solution for
converged video, voice and data for next generation networks.
In addition to transporting hundreds of hours of live HD coverage, Net Insight
will also transport ESPN's 3D broadcast. The broadcaster plans to cover up to
25 games in 3D, a first for the sports network.
"With the highest level of bandwidth utilization available and guaranteed QoS of
the Nimbra platform, Net Insight is the only company prepared to take on
bandwidth issues associated with marquee broadcast events." said Fredrik
Trägårdh, CEO of Net Insight. "These technology capabilities, combined with Net
Insight's past success for major live broadcasts, such as the Beijing Olympics,
are the reasons why Net Insight was selected by nine operators across the globe
to deliver the action-packed soccer matches of The World Cup."
Net Insight's Nimbra platform offers advanced multimedia services in media
networks with integrated video and audio interfaces such as ASI, SDI, HD-SDI,
3G-SDI, AES/EBU with native support for IP/Ethernet and SDH/Sonet. With the
highest network utilization, multicasting of all types of services, guaranteed
quality of service and the possibility of extending the network entirely in pace
with customer growth, the Nimbra platform offers the most efficient, reliable
and cost-effective network solution available today.
