Stockholm, Sweden - Net Insight, a leading provider of efficient optical transport solutions for media, broadcast and IP networks has received an order from a media operator in Eastern Europe for the first phase of the national Digital Terrestrial TV distribution network. The media operator operates a nationwide analogue and digital television and radio network in an East European country. The DTT network will be based on Net Insight's Nimbra platform to distribute uncompressed and compressed video (HD-SDI, SD-SDI and ASI) across the country. The network will also provide scalable multicast capabilities and incorporate Net Insight's unique Time Transfer feature for GPS-free time synchronization. DTT and Mobile TV often require a Single Frequency Network (SFN) where the transmitter stations must be synchronized to send their signals at exactly the same time. Nimbra 360 has a unique Time Transfer capability that allows highly accurate distribution of real time over the same network that carries the video signals. This eliminates the need for costly and potentially vulnerable GPS receivers in the network. The solution also includes Nimbra Vision, a complete tool for efficient operation and maintenance of the Nimbra network. The Nimbra platform is a versatile transport solution with several unique features for DTT networks. In addition, Nimbra offers a flexible and cost-effective solution for delivering advanced multimedia services in Broadcast and Media networks and for IPTV/CATV distribution. TV operators deploying Digital Terrestrial TV based on the Nimbra platform not only get a DTT network but a multi-service transport infrastructure that opens up new business opportunities, turning the network into a very powerful media contribution platform. The order is the first phase of the project to build a nationwide DTT network and the initial Nimbra equipment was delivered September 30, 2009.
