Bridge Technologies To Debut Upgrade To Its Web Based User Interface

Bridge Technologies will use IBC2025 (Booth 1.A71) to debut a major upgrade to its web-based user interface, which will be deployed across its full range of IP probes.

The new design represents the next chapter in Bridge’s long tradition of delivering not just powerful monitoring tools, but ones that are as intuitive and visually insightful as they are technically advanced. By enhancing the interface across the VBC, VB330, VB220, VB120 and NOMAD product range, the update makes it easier than ever for engineers and operators to work seamlessly between devices – and to access the information they need with ease and clarity.

For decades, Bridge has led the way in creating visual representations of complex data – from the patented MediaWindow™, that reveal network patterns at a glance, to VBC Live video presentation layer and StreamOverview that blend a clean, uncluttered view with the ability to drill into deeper insight instantly. Now, those same principles have been applied across the full probe ecosystem, making every model easier to navigate, more responsive, and more visually precise.

Key enhancements include a modernised, simpler and more dynamic interface, a vertical top-level navigation bar for quick access to essential monitoring data summaries, and aggregated thumbnail, mediaWindow and microETR views for faster visual scanning. A dark or light mode – set by the user – ensures comfort in any environment, while content thumbnail search and sort with Penalty Box functionality allows instant location of critical streams. Faster, more dynamic tables improve responsiveness, and ETR290 configuration and status in the same context means no more switching between screens to get the full picture.

Every detail of the redesign reinforces Bridge’s guiding principle: give users exactly what they need, where they need it – and make it effortless to dig deeper when the situation demands. The new UI prioritises menu options and visuals that matter most, without burying complexity. It’s an upgrade that streamlines day-to-day operations while maintaining the precision and depth required for expert analysis.

Simen Frostad, Chairman of Bridge Technologies, commented: "Bridge probes are so powerful and deep-reaching in the insight they generate about a network that it can at times be overwhelming to the user. We recognised at the beginning that deep data is only valuable if it is also usable and intuitive: monitoring tools need to make sense to the person using it, in the moment they need it. That idea is what drove our core philosophy: 'make the complex simple'."

He continued: "As such, as our range of functionalities, instruments and insight-generating tools has continued to grow across our full range of probes, we recognised a need for a UI overhaul. This redesign is part of our ongoing commitment to ensure that every Bridge product combines world-class engineering with a user experience that compliments – because visual clarity and usability are as critical to good decisions as the data itself."
