Bridge Technologies VB440 Integrated into NEP Platform

Bridge Technologies has announced that its VB440 production probe has been integrated into NEP Platform, NEP Group's software orchestration system. The integration will be demonstrated at NAB Show 2026 at the Bridge booth (C.3019) and NEP's meeting space (N253, North Hall, Level 2).

Through the integration, VB440 monitoring and analysis tools can be deployed as software applications on shared commercial off-the-shelf compute within NEP Platform, scaling up or down depending on the production. The VB440 provides video scopes including waveform, vectorscope, and histograms; Dolby Atmos audio monitoring with 64-channel support across unlimited flows; LUFS and Gonio meters; packet capture; PTP timing analysis; ST 2022-7 redundancy monitoring; and event logging, all managed within the Canvas workspace. NAB 2026 also sees the addition of multi-service AV sync capability, allowing production teams to verify alignment between sources transported via different paths.

Visitors to NAB will be able to select Bridge from the NEP Platform application catalogue and watch the VB440 software deploy onto shared COTS compute.

From the very beginning NEP and Bridge Technologies shared the same pioneering spirit when it came to exploring what software-defined production could become, and how it could transform media infrastructure, says Dan Murphy, VP of NEP Platform. Bridge has been one of the valuable partners whose technology has been integrated into NEP Platform at launch, helping us achieve the level of transparency and operational insight that large-scale remote production demands. What has made the partnership so strong over the years is Bridge's ability to work closely with our engineers, translating real operational challenges into practical solutions for our customers and continuously evolving alongside the development of NEP Platform.

The working relationship between Bridge and NEP goes back a very long way, says Simen K. Frostad, Chairman, Bridge Technologies. For years, NEP has relied on Bridge to meet their own production needs, and they have been a crucial testing ground each time we introduce new features. Indeed, much of our production roadmap has been developed in direct conjunction with them. That level of trust doesn't come easily. It comes from years of collaboration, from listening to feedback from engineers who use the platform every day, and from constantly refining the product based on real-world demands. To now see the VB440 included as a software-deployable application on NEP Platform is a genuine honour. It reflects not just the strength of our technology, but the strength of a partnership built on mutual respect and a shared vision for where live production is heading.
