The company claims that the switches provide transmission of up to 15 SD-SDI video streams.

Peter Juno, senior vice president, CNBC Asia Pacific Operations, said: “Real-time IP networking video feeds have plenty of potential benefits, but they mean little if it entails any impairment of our quality-of-service. The Juniper and Nevion solution provides the performance, reliability and quality we need to embrace IP networking for professional broadcast TV production.”

Juniper Networks EX4200 Ethernet Switches provide the IP network connection between the Nevion systems in the remote studio at the Singapore Exchange and Starhub’s Gigabit

Ethernet network.

An identical system configuration located at CNBC Asia’s production centre separates and decompresses the video back into SD-SDI. The system has fully redundant Ethernet links between the Nevion systems and the EX4200 switches, and between the EX4200 switches across the carrier network.

The solution also includes Nevion’s standards-based and energy-efficient Ventura system for compression, multiplexing and protection and Flashlink for audio embedding.
