Net Insight Launches Network-Edge Streaming Appliance Nimbra 204

The Nimbra 204 offers robust transmission over low-cost, unmanaged networks and becomes a fully integrated component of the Nimbra Edge and Nimbra Connect iT platforms. It enables broadcasters and media companies to efficiently manage and distribute content over unmanaged networks.

The Nimbra 204 is seamlessly integrated into Net Insight’s Nimbra Edge and Connect iT network orchestration and device management systems. This integration provides users with an open standards-based, cloud-agnostic solution that is easy to configure and fully media-aware. With edge-to-edge resilience and support for multiple formats, the Nimbra 204 brings a comprehensive media transport solution that is both versatile and reliable.

It is suitable for contribution services enabling broadcasters to profitably monetize events that were previously unaffordable by utilizing lower-cost, high-efficiency technology. Another application area is program/network distribution.  Broadcasters can now distribute program content to affiliates and takers over ubiquitous and affordable unmanaged networks, significantly reducing the cost and complexity of media distribution.

While cost effective, the Nimbra 204 is fully featured, low latency HEVC compression, offering bandwidth efficiency while maintaining video quality with 4:2:2 10-bit resolution. With versatile encode and decode capabilities, the Nimbra 204 is equipped to handle multi-channel processing, supporting up to four HD services simultaneously. It also supports high-resolution video up to 4K UHD, ensuring that broadcasters can deliver cutting-edge visual experiences.
