European broadcaster selects Net Insight's Nimbra platform for video contribution feeds from the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games



Stockholm, Sweden - Net Insight, a leading provider of efficient
optical transport solutions for media, broadcast and IP networks has
received an order of the Nimbra platform for a contribution network
to carry video feeds from the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter games.

This European broadcaster is now deploying a transatlantic
contribution network to support their Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter
Games coverage.

The network will carry video, audio and data feeds from multiple
sites in Canada over a fiber link to Europe. The services, including
uncompressed HD-SDI, AES/EBU, ASI and Ethernet data, will be
transported in parallel over Nimbra 680 switches.

This will be the broadcaster's first international transmission of
live uncompressed HD streams and their regular national HDTV
broadcasting will commence in conjunction with the opening of the
Vancouver Olympics Winter Games.

The Nimbra platform provides superior flexibility, efficiency and
reliability for contribution of live events and has proven to be the
top choice for many demanding networks in the U.S., Europe as well as
global events such as the Beijing Olympics. The Nimbra 680 is a next
generation multi-service switch designed to meet the rigorous rich
media and data service needs of carriers and service providers
including high switching capacity, end-to-end provisioning and
restoration and 100 percent quality of service guaranteed.
Equipped with the 8 x Video Access Module, it offers extensive
flexibility for studio, contribution and distribution networks. Each
of the module's eight ports can be individually configured as ASI In
or ASI Out, as well as standard definition (SD) or high definition
(HD) SDI. The module delivers a cost-effective multi-purpose solution
for video streams that require a mix of compressed and uncompressed
HD and SD content from a single venue, such as sports arenas and
editing trucks.

The Nimbra equipment will be delivered during September 2009.
