Nevion Announces New Solutions

A video transport solution provider for broadcasters, service providers and government entities worldwide, is unveiling new video-over-IP monitoring and management capabilities at IBC.
Jan Helgesen, Director of Product Management for Network Management at Nevion (formerly Network/VPG) commented: "To unleash the full potential and flexibility of a video-over-IP contribution network it's essential to have the right management support to address the complexity of such an infrastructure. Video over IP is clearly the future for long-haul transport of contribution quality video, but provisioning and monitoring tools must ensure the end-to-end quality of service required by service providers and broadcasters, and large-scale, cost-efficient deployment to realise true economies of scale."
The popular FCS1000-PLUS platform, a high-density video in-service monitoring solution, now includes support for video-over-IP monitoring, offering customers a complete solution for monitoring the entire video transport infrastructure. Users can pinpoint quality of service issues with wire-speed monitoring of video-over-IP traffic at the Ethernet, IP, UDP and RTP layers, support a large number of IP flows using different transport formats, and have the ability to monitor video-over-IP traffic without the risk of signal interruption. Deployed by service providers and broadcasters worldwide, the FCS1000-PLUS is ideal for central monitoring of a large number of DVB-ASI transport streams or HD/SD-SDI video signals.
Nevion will also showcase a new connection management platform for IP that allows service providers to provision and monitor services without considering detailed configuration settings in each network element. Users will be able to set up connections by selecting service profiles and auto-detected available end points. Additional advanced capabilities include bandwidth utilisation management and forward error correction for the most efficient use of infrastructure with the right quality of service.
Nevion will be located at IBC hall 8, stand B70.
