New VideoIPath orchestration capabilities in combination with the M2L-X mixer

The latest expansions to the cloud orchestration capabilities of VideoIPath media orchestration platform Nevion, including integration with the cloud-based live production mixer Sony, M2L-X, can be seen at NAB 2025.

Nevion now offers, together with the M2L-X mixer, the possibility of start and stop cloud instances automatically depending on the connections, thus reducing operating costs. On the other hand, the cloud-native version of VideoIPath has surpassed the FTR (Foundational Technical Review) de AWS y está certificada como AWS Partner Qualified Software.

Nevion VideoIPath es un componente clave de la propuesta Networked Live de Sony y está ampliamente implementado por broadcaster y proveedores de servicios de telecomunicaciones en todo el mundo en aplicaciones tan diversas como contribución, producción remota, instalaciones, unidades móviles y GCCG (ground-to-cloud-cloud-to-ground). VideoIPath es también un sistema abierto que permite integrarlo en entornos existentes, con interfaces para cualquier dispositivo y equipo, y soporte para superficies de control familiares.

En los últimos años, se han añadido a Nevion VideoIPath toda una serie de capacidades relacionadas con la nube, including integrations with third-party cloud-based products such as master control, playback, multi-display, gateways, processing and other services. This allows customers to use VideoIPath for the orchestration of virtualized, cloud-based production and playback workflows, alone or in combination with onshore resources.

Now VideoIPath se ha integrado con M2L-X. Also part of Networked Live, the cloud-based live production switcher allows producers to perform video switching and mixing of audio, graphics and subtitles, remotely from any location over the network with simple setup and minimal deployment time. The new integration means that VideoIPath can now orchestrate signals from the ground to the cloud, and through the cloud to an M2L-X instance. VideoIPath can also stop M2L-X when it is not needed and start it when it is, ensuring that it only consumes as many cloud resources as necessary.

This new start/stop functionalitya adds to a previously announced acceleration and deceleration capability. Although the latter provides optimal use of cloud resources, it may not always be practical for more complex and intensive processes, such as a cloud switch or multiviewer. Starting and stopping such instances is usually faster and more efficient.

Jan Helgesen, director de Productos y Soluciones de Nevion, explica que “nuestra visión es hacer que la producción híbrida sea lo más fácil y transparente posible para el personal de producción. Esto significa ser capaz de gestionar los recursos y los flujos de medios tanto en tierra como en la nube de forma fluida. Para lograrlo, seguimos añadiendo funcionalidades a nuestra plataforma insignia de orquestación de medios VideoIPath”.
