Nevion Virtuoso

Media Virtualization Platform

Nevion Virtuoso is a revolutionary softwaredefined media virtualization platform, offering wide-ranging functionality for live production, contribution and professional media transport applications.

The Nevion Virtuoso platform is designed to meet the challenges of live IP media production and transport, where the distinction between local and wide-area media networks is blurring, and where virtualization plays an increasing role, leading to faster time-to-production and greater costeffectiveness.

Nevion Virtuoso runs a variety of Media Functions to perform different tasks, including video and audio processing, encoding and decoding, content protection and encryption, confidence monitoring and IP transport protection for media and data.

The virtualization of Media Functions is achieved by using flexible network-attached media server

Appliances and Accelerators. Provisioning of a new

Media Function is easy thanks to a software and license-based approach.

The versatile Nevion Virtuoso platform, together with Nevion’s VideoIPath orchestration software, are designed to enable the full potential of IP-based lean production.

• IP in the facilities and IP production infrastructure

• In-house/campus media networks

• Outside broadcast live sports/event contribution

• Live remote and at-home production workflows

• Regional and wide-area contribution networks

• High-availability managed media services

• Programming and television distribution networks

• End-to-end service monitoring

Key features
