Net Insight Partners With NETINT To Elevate Nimbra Edge With AI-powered Video Processing

Net Insight is taking a major step forward in enhancing its internet media transport solutions by partnering with NETINT Technologies to integrate their cutting-edge ASIC Smart VPU™ video processing chip with AI into the next release of Nimbra Edge. This integration marks a strategic expansion of Net Insight’s capabilities, moving beyond transport to include advanced video processing and transcoding features directly within its platform.

Until now, Net Insight has been at the forefront of transport solutions, offering world-class and industry-leading technologies for high-quality content delivery.  By incorporating NETINT’s VPU technology, Nimbra Edge will now support real-time transcoding of AV1, HEVC, and H.264 codecs enabling customers to manipulate transport streams dynamically with a 10x efficiency advantage compared to software. This advancement eliminates the need for external transcoding solutions, streamlining workflows and enhancing operational efficiency.

The addition of encoding and processing functionality aligns with Net Insight’s broader strategy of delivering versatile, end-to-end media solutions. Supporting both on-premises and cloud- based processing, this integration lays the foundation for further expansion into primary distribution, while continuing to provide world-class contribution and production tools.

Further details on the technical aspects: this expanded capability includes frame rate conversion, bitrate compression, overlay insertion, deinterlacing, audio shuffling, and more. By integrating these features seamlessly, customers can automate intricate workflows without relying on additional third-party solutions. The result is a more agile, cost-effective, and scalable platform for broadcasters, media companies, and live event producers and streamers.
