NAB 2023: Net Insight to showcase integrated live ST2110, JPEG XS and cloud workflows

Net Insight together with its solution partner Comprimato will be demonstrating the use of live JPEG XS compressed ST2110 streams using TR07, transported over WAN (Wide Area Network) to cloud workflows at this year’s NAB Show in Las Vegas.

“We are excited to show how low-latency live productions can be used with cloud infrastructure,” said Kristian Mets, head of sales development at Net Insight. “Our open standards-based media solution enables Tier 1 event organisers to handle increasing content needs while delivering the highest quality and lowest latency possible.”

At the heart of the solution is Net Insight’s Nimbra 1060 taking in ST2110 video streams encoding them using ultra-low latency JPEG XS and sending them as TR07 streams directly into the cloud where it’s transcoded and transported to the recipients using the cloud-native Nimbra Edge platform residing in Oracle cloud. This opens up new Tier 1 media cloud productions, leveraging cloud resources for the highest flexibility and efficiency.

Net Insight showcases TR07 interworking by sending the streams from Nimbra 1060 to Comprimato’s cloud-based Live Transcoder connected to Nimbra Edge for further delivery into cloud production and distribution workflows. This combination offers a direct route connection from ST2110 on-prem equipment to the cloud, where high-end cloud production and adaptation can take place. In addition, the Live Transcoder is further used in a live demo together with Nimbra Edge to demonstrate a seamless Network Device Interface (NDI) workflow in and out of the cloud, enabling NDI productions with global connectivity.

The TR07 solution is suited to the needs of Tier 1 event organisers that want to leverage the flexibility and efficiency of cloud/data centres. With content needs that increase with every event and budget constraint, catering to ST2110 production resources at arena sites can be a challenge. The solution works seamlessly with both ST2110 and SDI cameras.

The benefits of the new solution are said to be many. The approach offers the best available codec and latency, streaming Tier 1 content directly into the cloud enabling cost-efficient production and cloud distribution, all powered by the cloud-native Nimbra Edge platform. With just a few clicks, customers can route its content anywhere in the world.
