Leader Joins The IP Jackfield Ecosystem To Deliver On-Demand Broadcast Analysis
IP Jackfield Diagram with Leader + Phabrix
Providius has announced that Leader, a global authority in test and measurement instrumentation, has joined the expanding IP Jackfield ecosystem, the virtual patch panel for the ST 2110 era.
The integration of Leader’s waveform monitors directly into IP Jackfield empowers broadcast engineers to analyze any media flow from any point on the network with ease and precision.
The foundation of IP Jackfield is the tight integration between Providius’ NVRT (Network Visibility & Real-time Telemetry) software and Arista’s switching platforms, as well as their industry-leading DANZ Monitoring Fabric (DMF). By incorporating Leader, IP Jackfield solidifies its position as a vendor-agnostic solution that simplifies operations in complex IP media facilities. Engineers can now access best-in-class test and measurement tools on demand, directly within their workflow, eliminating the need for complex physical patching or standalone equipment.
IBC 2025 attendees can experience this new integration firsthand by visiting the partners (Arista, Providius and Leader).
