Net Insight and TeliaSonera International Carrier Showcase Live Demo of Remote Production and Workflow at IBC 2011
Real-time TV-production over 1500 km media network,
enabled by Net Insight's low latency and QoS transport solution
AMSTERDAM, IBC - Net Insight, a leading provider of efficient and scalable
transport solutions for media, IP and broadcast networks, is working in
partnership with Twentyfourseven, technical supplier in the broadcast industry,
along with TeliaSonera International Carrier, to demonstrate real-time, cost-
effective, remote production.
Net Insight's award-winning Nimbra platform, working as the technical foundation
of TeliaSonera International Carrier's global broadcast fiber network, will be
showcased in a remote workflow demonstration at IBC 2011. TeliaSonera
International Carrier will deliver four uncompressed HD feeds on TeliaSonera
International Carrier's MediaConnect platform from The Royal Tennis Club in
Stockholm, to a production team at IBC in Amsterdam, 1500km away. Net Insight's
booth (1.B40) will be connected to TeliaSonera International Carrier's booth
with the final picture displayed on large television screens.
This new type of workflow requires the support of a high quality real-time
network to avoid quality degradation of the live feed and to enable the
production crew to remotely control the arena equipment, such as: cameras, sound
and speaker equipment from the centralized control room.
Live event productions have high quality demands for live broadcast, which
requires the ability for uncompressed video links during the production
lifecycle. Remote workflows and centralized production reduce production costs
and increase efficiencies which makes it possible to cover and produce a larger
number of live events.
Twentyfourseven is using TeliaSonera International Carrier premier network to
deliver content using their new Distant Outside Broadcast (DOB) work flow,
particularly live events such as sports and music performances, in a really
efficient and cost effective manner.
"TeliaSonera International Carrier has a longstanding relationship with key
international broadcasters," adds Erik Hallberg, president of TeliaSonera
International Carrier. We will continue to build and support on the "Cross
Border Remote Production Solution", which we believe will completely
revolutionize outside broadcasting. Net Insight is instrumental in providing the
lowest possible latency and the highest QoS enabling real-time TV-production
over long distances and across international borders."
"TeliaSonera International Carrier and Twentyfourseven are pushing the adoption
of remote production in the broadcast industry by launching this new service,
says Per Lindgren, vice president of business development and co-founder of Net
Insight. "Using real-time media networks, like MediaConnect, significantly
reduces costs and increases efficiency in editing and production. A key
requirement for virtualizing video production is that the media network provides
studio quality transport with zero packet loss which is where the Nimbra
platform excels."

Workflow.
