STOCKHOLM, Sweden - Net Insight; a leading provider of efficient
optical transport solutions for media, broadcast and IP networks;
today introduced two new access modules for its Nimbra 680, expanding
interface support to include asynchronous serial interface (ASI) and
Ethernet transport. The introduction extends Nimbra 680 versatility
beyond its inherent backbone switching capabilities to include
high-capacity video and data aggregation.
The Net Insight 8 x Video Access Module 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.
Seven blades can be added per Nimbra 680 switch, delivering up to 56
universal video ports for optimal transport customization.
The ASI interface is configurable for MPEG streams ranging from 2 to
212 Mbps. Since only the MPEG packets are distributed, large amounts
of bandwidth are preserved to ensure the highest levels of network
utilization."Net Insight received ongoing customer demand for an ASI interface
module compatible with the high-capacity Nimbra 680 switch series,"
said Per Lindgren, VP Business Development and Product Management at
Net Insight. "The new module meets that demand, delivering an ideal
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 8 x Gigabit Ethernet Access Module allows Nimbra 680 users to
integrate IP/Ethernet data with video in contribution and
distribution networks. The new Ethernet board also enables
triple-play voice, data and video services in high-capacity IPTV and
CATV networks.
Like all Nimbra switches, both the ASI and Ethernet modules guarantee
100 percent quality of service (QoS) at industry-leading bandwidth
utilization levels. Nimbra switches transport up to 95 percent
bandwidth utilization with zero dropped packets or performance
penalties. In addition, extremely low jitter and wander are
accomplished through unique synchronous timing capabilities.
The new modules are backwards compatible and fully interoperable with
interfaces found within the Nimbra One and Nimbra 300 series.
