In today’s digital age, ensuring the security and integrity of media content in shared network environments is paramount. Net Insight provides robust solutions to isolate and protect media networks effectively.
Net Insight employs a SMPTE RP2129 compliant Trust Boundary to secure and translate IP addressing between different IP domains and locations. This feature ensures that media flows are isolated from the broader service provider network, maintaining security and preventing unauthorized access. The Trust Boundary processes both IP media and IP networking with guaranteed Quality of Service (QoS) for each trusted stream. Operational features include Network Address Translation (NAT), monitoring, and protection. These solutions are a crucial part of Net Insight’s high-end IP remote and distribution production networking as a service.
The secure network edge is achieved through powerful and flexible firewalls that protect incoming, outgoing, and pass-through traffic. This setup ensures secure operations across both public and private IP networks. By utilizing profiles and zones, traffic is clearly separated based on its destination, helping maintain the isolation and security of media content. These capabilities are integral to the Nimbra 600, 1000, 400, and 680 platforms, which are designed for high-performance media transport.
Media flows are transported using redundant network paths, providing hitless protection and maintaining high Service Level Agreements (SLAs). This ensures continuous media transmission even if one path fails, thereby protecting the content from disruption. These advanced measures are part of Net Insight’s comprehensive high-end distribution services.
Net Insight employs end-to-end encryption of video and data traffic using AES 128/256 encryption mechanisms. This prevents content theft and man-in-the-middle attacks, enabling secure transport of high-value content over shared or public infrastructure like the internet. Secure key exchange is facilitated through trust-based methods such as certificates or pre-shared keys.
The MSR (Media Service Router) Safe Transport feature strictly isolates media flows and reserves network resources. This technology reduces operational complexity and costs by providing a virtual private network for media content, consolidating media and datacom workflows, and offering live SLA verification to monitor service health.
Net Insight’s solutions include multi-layer monitoring of network and media traffic, ensuring IP and payload integrity. This proactive monitoring allows for real-time oversight, error detection, and rapid troubleshooting, which is essential for maintaining the security and isolation of media content in shared environments.
These measures collectively ensure that media content remains secure and isolated in shared network environments, safeguarding against potential threats and maintaining the quality and reliability of media transmissions.
“We can now consider a far wider array of live broadcasting services, often presented at very short notice, for our overseas territories where difficult connectivity environments had, until now, hindered numerous high-quality broadcast opportunities. Net Insight’s solution reduces our operational costs significantly, while at the same time enabling us to maximize our service availability and reach to our overseas territories.”

“We offered our IP/MPLS media transport solution to the world’s most demanding TV companies, for their contribution feeds and it has performed extremely well. Going forward, we see multiple possibilities to expand our service offering based on the advanced VA platform. In addition, the strong QoS functionalities combined with the advanced monitoring capabilities of the Net Insight Nimbra platform ensures that we can offer the highest quality services to our customers.”
