Sky New Zealand adds Content Capacity with Techtel and Net Insight

11/08/2020

Auckland, New Zealand, 11 August 2020 - Techtel, New Zealand's leading broadcast systems specialist has successfully deployed the Emmy Award-winning Nimbra 400 internet media transport solution by Net Insight for Sky New Zealand - the country's premium Pay TV Entertainment provider. This comes as Sky is expanding their subscriber offering with more local and international services.

Designed specifically in response to the increasing demand for live media internet transport for premium applications, Nimbra 400 is often referred to the Swiss knife of the Nimbra family. Its design is light and agile, and its functionalities make it the perfect solution for Tier 1 content and media companies looking to lower their costs and increase their reach. The platform does this by optimizing video streaming over constrained networks and maximizes the number of streams processed simultaneously. Nimbra 400 can produce high-quality video at low bitrates while utilizing less expensive IP infrastructure such as internet connectivity thus reducing networking costs.

Sky New Zealand's subscriber base has an expanding appetite for more live sport and to make the business case work they turned their attention to platforms that can make it happen over the common internet. Nimbra 400 delivers in this respect through both reliability and seamless cross platform management with the broader Net Insight MSR series.

The Nimbra 400 series has improved our capability to have an agnostic contribution and delivery solution of broadcast quality feeds - for both adhoc and permanent services. We deploy the Nimbra technology for HD feed deliveries from both domestic and international broadcasters. On our internal infrastructure, the units are used as normal multicast and unicast decoders. Multiple SDI ports on a single box gives us flexibility on routing concurrent feeds, said Ronaldo Raborar, Technical Coordinator at Sky New Zealand.

With internet transport expanding further into premium live media workflows, the Nimbra 400 platform enables service providers with premium content like Sky New Zealand, to reach new locations faster and more cost-efficiently than ever before , said Mal Chandler, Techtel CEO. We are proud to supply Sky New Zealand with the leading internet media transport solution from Net Insight and look forward to more exciting services from them .

Sky New Zealand decision builds on Techtel's established country-wide network of Nimbra nodes, serving the majority of New Zealand broadcasters and providing resilient HD video transport at the highest possible quality, lowest delay and with high availability.
