Net Insight a leading player for transition to Digital Terrestrial TV distribution - now a part of the first national full-IP DVB-T2 network |
Net Insight has an exceptional track record in Digital Terrestrial TV networks (DTT) and has built more DTT and contribution networks than any other vendor. Net Insight’s success in this area is accelerating and we have won seven new contracts over the past six months and four since the beginning of the year. Net Insight is a trusted partner for over 20+ DTT operators and internationally leading media network operators. Many regional and nationwide DTT rollouts remain around the world as over 100 countries still need to do their analog to digital switchover. |
According to IMS Research, the number of households with digital terrestrial TV is expected to triple globally over the next five years. The underlying growth in the media industry and the transition to HD, 3D and new production formats are drivers for the digital switchover. The transition to digital networks also frees up frequencies, which governments can sell to various players on the market and is why governments around the world are pushing to implement the transition to digital TV. Digital TV technology leads to lower network operating costs and the opportunity to offer more TV channels and new services to subscribers. |

Key features of the Nimbra platform: |
- Any services over any media
| The Nimbra platform supports both IP and Optical interfaces and can operate on top of any combination of IP, SDH, Wavelength, Dark Fiber and microwave networks.
- More channels over the same infrastructure
| The Nimbra platform's support for many different services is important to operators of TV distribution networks. The same network built for distribution of digital TV can also be used to offer other services and generate new revenues. This includes mobile TV, mobile backhaul, digital radio, monitoring services, video and audio contributions from regional studios, contributions from sports arenas, and more. The high degree of utilization in the Nimbra platform often enables 15-20 percent more TV channels to be sent over the same infrastructure, reducing expansion costs and increasing revenues for pay-TV services.
Existing customers testify of 50-75 % lower operational expenses compared with competing solutions. With its multiservice capabilities the Nimbra platform reduces the complexity of the total systems solution. All functions and features are integrated in one well engineered platform eliminating the need for external adapters and avoiding additional error sources. End to end monitoring also enables very efficient trouble shooting and network management in general.
- Guaranteed 100% QoS and highest reliability
| In the Nimbra platform broadcast QoS is inherent – zero packet loss – guaranteed regardless of: mix of services in the network, network topology, network load or the level of cross traffic.
An important product property that has made Net Insight even more competitive in this market area is the time transfer function that eliminates the need for costly and potentially vulnerable GPS receivers. Unique Time Transfer capability allows redundant and highly accurate distribution of real time over the same network that carries the video signals.
