Net Insight launches ultra-dense JPEG XS video encoding to power remote production at scale

Net Insight has launched its new ultra-high-density JPEG XS update to meet the demands of modern remote and distributed production workflows. Available as a licensed software upgrade since early 2025, the update offers an industry-leading 160 UHD-4K streams with lossless image quality in a single device.

As live productions shift toward centralised and remote production models, the demand for scalable, space saving equipment and high performance encoding solutions is high. Net Insight’s JPEG XS innovation provides production teams with the tools to handle more feeds with fewer devices, reduce on-site infrastructure, and scale cost effectively without compromising on quality.

Available for the proven Nimbra 1000 platform, the solution leverages JPEG XS, a compression standard known for visually lossless quality and ultra low latency, ideal for multi-camera live production. With 100GbE networking and unparalleled channel density, broadcasters can now simplify even the most complex setups, from remote venue feeds to centralised production hubs.

“We are proud to once again push the boundaries of what’s possible in media transport,” says Crister Fritzson, CEO at Net Insight. “With this solution, we’re giving production companies and media service providers the power to scale up to Full HD HDR and 4K workflows while keeping operations lean and flexible, 160 channels in one compact box is a true game-changer.”

Whether used for live sports, multi-venue events, or studio-to-studio workflows, this JPEG XS solution is designed to reduce physical footprint and power usage, while delivering operational efficiency and production freedom.

“Today’s productions need tools that can handle much more with less rack space, less power and less complexity,” added Christer Bohm, vice president product management at Net Insight. “This product update unlocks industry leading video encoding density per device and gives the production teams and service providers what they need, all while preparing them for tomorrow’s HDR and UHD production demands.”
