Media Processing Module On-demand Virtual Media Functions Deploy integrated value added network and media functions with the Nimbra Media Processing Module. Adapt network and media services to the needs of each individual customer, application and workflow, on-demand and in real-time. Software functions realized on a standard service delivery platform enables broadcasters and service providers to customize and tailor media and network functions to their specific operational needs, when needed and where needed. Virtualized network and media functions can be delivered as a service anywhere in the media network and at any event site. With the Media Processing Module hosting network and media software functions, such as format conversion, video and audio processing, monitoring and encoding, service providers can offer customized services tailored to the needs of each individual customer and production workflow. This significantly increases the value of their network, and the value that the network operator provides to their customers. It also allows them to introduce new by-the-minute business models for both connectivity and media functions, so that the network operator can differentiate themselves and increase their broadcast business. Flexible deployment of software-based media & networking functions Standard Linux based x.86 execution environment Integrated into the Nimbra media transport solution Automated service delivery with centralized orchestration With orchestrated service delivery though Nimbra Vision and ScheduALL, the Nimbra Media Processing Module enables fully automated and customer self-provisioned distribution, deployment and configuration of network and media functions anywhere in the Nimbra network. This enables changes in real-time as well as booking media production and networking assets instantly or in the future, regardless of where that function is needed. It also enables innovative by-the-minute business models that lets broadcasters shift from an capex and upfront intensive cost base to an opex based model that better follows their needs over time. By delivering value added services through software based virtual network functions (VNFs) and virtual media functions (VMFs), services can be added, upgraded and modified dynamically without site visits and without adding additional hardware. The overall cost is reduced and at the same time new services and capabilities can be introduced with reduced lead time.

Standard x.86 software execution platform The Nimbra Media Processing Module offers a standard x86 environment that enables added flexibility in terms of what applications to run where and when, by making multiple software based network and media functions available on the same platform Centralized orchestration and on-demand deployment enables media and network functions to be deployed and executed anywhere in the Nimbra network, either at ingress/egress points, or at central processing/datacentre locations. Dedicated special-purpose hardware resources are available for applications with high...
