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.
