NEP Group has launched a software orchestration system that brings together third-party applications into a single platform.
Titled NEP Platform, the system aims to meet the needs of companies adopting software-based solutions that want to “future-proof their operations with more agile solutions,” NEP said.
“The NEP Platform launch marks an important step in NEP’s innovation journey as well as how the industry uses software,” said Martin Stewart, CEO of NEP Group.
“Companies are delivering more content, across more markets, to more audiences than ever before, and that requires great agility. Our goal has always been to simplify content production so our customers can easily and securely deliver their content at scale.
“I’m delighted that NEP Platform offers that long-term solution with the ability to change as our customers do.”
NEP Platform unifies the deployment of production applications from multiple vendors within a single interface.
Currently deployed in many of NEP’s own facilities worldwide, including new “software first” mobile units recently launched in Australia and Norway, NEP Platform is commercially available for customers who wish to integrate it into their own facilities, backed by the ongoing support of NEP’s engineers.
NEP Platform offers production functions like vision mixing, audio mixing, replay, infrastructure, multiview, and measurement from tech firms including Bridge Technologies, Calrec, Grass Valley, Lawo, Manifold, Panasonic, Sony and Sony’s Hawk-Eye Innovation, with plans to add more.
With NEP Platform, capabilities can be added through new applications and software updates instead of major rebuilds, enabling customers to focus on creating content while NEP handles the technology, the facilities firm said.
“NEP Platform gives customers real choice without added complexity,” added Dan Murphy, VP of NEP Platform.
“From a single interface, teams can launch the applications they prefer, deploy workflows in minutes and scale as production needs change.
“With this new way of managing infrastructure, customers can transition to software-based solutions that seamlessly operate with existing hardware. This not only protects our customers’ investments; it positions them to take advantage of future technology.”
