CHALLENGES
You need to create more content without significantly adding to your workload and produce a broader range of content in the most efficient ways possible.
With increasing platforms and social media sites, you need to produce material that will suit multiple outlets while also enhancing viewer engagement.
You want to optimize and streamline workflows across the organization and its estate and use resources in equipment, facilities, and personnel.
The possibility to enable staff to work more flexibly, including from home or remotely ‘in the field’. You want to reduce time spent traveling or setting up equipment in other locations. Harness the capabilities of modern, highly connected infrastructures to save your organization time and money, freeing up the capacity to work on other projects.
Content is king. Changing viewer habits creates new opportunities but also risks in terms of consumer retention and engagement.
Simultaneously, the number and diversity of competitors are increasing all the time, meaning that media companies have to be highly responsive and attentive to evolving viewer expectations.

To overhaul the transport architecture, production workflow and corporate culture behind the broadcaster’s live events content production. The long-term project began in late 2014 with the vision to replace reliance on mobile facilities for outside broadcast with a video over IP network spanning the country and centralizing workflow on one technical hub. The first significant test of the new system was timed for host coverage of the 2019 FIS Alpine World Ski Championships.

Broadcasters reduce operational costs by adopting technologies that improve efficiency, flexibility, and utilization of their infrastructure. This often includes remote production, centralized resource management, and shifting from dedicated links to more cost-effective IP-based transport.
How Nimbra supports these needs:
Remote and distributed production: Low-latency media transport enables teams to work from central locations, reducing on-site crews and equipment.
Centralized resource management: Nimbra Vision/SDN provides automated provisioning, smarter routing, and higher overall network utilization.
IP-based transport: Supports managed and unmanaged IP networks to replace high-cost dedicated links with IP/MPLS or internet-based options while maintaining broadcast-grade quality.
Elastic capacity: Dynamic trunking, hitless protection, and JPEG XS/compressed streams allow bandwidth and workflows to scale without over-provisioning.
Cloud and hybrid workflows: Reduce CAPEX by enabling broadcasters to pay only for the compute and transport used.
To implement remote production, broadcasters need reliable connectivity, low-latency media transport, precise synchronization, and centralized orchestration. A complete setup typically includes secure IP transport, adequate bandwidth, monitoring tools, and edge processing to support mixed SDI/IP or cloud workflows.
How Net Insight’s Nimbra platform supports these needs:
Low-latency, high-quality transport: Deterministic latency, hitless protection, and synchronized audio/video for real-time production over IP.
Flexible, secure bandwidth: Works over managed IP/MPLS or the public internet with protection, encryption, and adaptive routing.
Precise timing and sync: Integrated GPS, PTP, and synchronization services keep cameras, audio, and production tools aligned.
Centralized orchestration: Nimbra Vision/SDN automates service setup, monitors performance, and optimizes routing from a single interface.
Edge processing: Compression (e.g., JPEG XS), format conversion, and gateway functions for interoperability across SDI, ST 2110, and IP workflows.
Reliable remote control: Stable data channels for remote operation of mixers, cameras, replay, and audio systems.
Broadcasters delivering live content must maintain consistent quality across diverse networks, control latency and jitter, and ensure accurate synchronization across multiple paths. They also need to manage bandwidth variations, secure live streams end-to-end, and maintain real-time visibility to detect and resolve faults quickly. Scaling for major live events without overbuilding infrastructure is an ongoing challenge.
How Nimbra supports these needs:
High reliability: Hitless protection and FEC preserve service quality during network impairments.
Low latency: Deterministic transport supports real-time workflows.
Accurate synchronization: Integrated timing and PTP keep signals aligned across all sites.
Efficient bandwidth usage: Dynamic trunking and JPEG XS provide scalable, high-quality contribution and distribution.
Secure transport: Encryption and secure IP delivery protect live content across networks.
Real-time monitoring: Nimbra Vision offers live insights, alarms, and fast fault localization.
Hybrid and multi-network flexibility: Gateways streamline movement of live feeds across managed, unmanaged, and cloud environments.
Broadcasters often migrate from SDI to IP in phases to maintain operational stability. Migration typically begins with IP gateways at the edge, adopting standards such as ST 2110 or compressed IP formats, and ensuring timing accuracy through PTP. Establishing clear trust boundaries—network segments with controlled QoS, timing, and security—helps ensure predictable behavior while gradually integrating IP workflows.
How Nimbra supports these needs:
Defined trust boundaries: Creates controlled media domains with guaranteed QoS, timing, and security.
SDI/IP interoperability: Integrated gateways for SDI, ST 2110, and compressed IP formats simplify hybrid deployments.
Reliable timing: Built-in PTP, sync distribution, and GPS support stable operation across SDI/IP environments.
Deterministic IP transport: Low-latency, hitless-protected services replicate SDI-like performance over IP.
Unified monitoring: Nimbra Vision provides end-to-end visibility across SDI and IP networks.
Flexible deployment: Operates across managed IP, MPLS, or public internet for scalable migration paths.
Remote production is a workflow where core production tasks—such as switching, audio mixing, graphics, and replay—are performed in a central facility rather than on-site. Only cameras, audio equipment, and a small crew remain at the venue, with live feeds sent back in real time. This reduces travel, on-site infrastructure, and overall production cost.
How Nimbra supports these needs:
Low-latency transport: Delivers camera and audio feeds in real time with deterministic latency and hitless protection.
Network flexibility: Operates over managed IP, MPLS, or public internet with integrated security and resilience.
Accurate synchronization: Built-in PTP and timing services keep all signals aligned end to end.
Stable control channels: Ensures reliable data paths for remote control of cameras, replay, and audio systems.
Edge processing: Provides compression, format conversion, and SDI/ST 2110 gateways for flexible venue setups.
Centralized monitoring: Nimbra Vision gives visibility into all remote sites and enables quick fault detection.
Simple flow control: XY Panel allows intuitive routing of inputs and outputs, ideal for OB/OU trucks and flypacks.
