Drivers for multipurpose Nevion units “Virtuoso”

I see many different integrations for Nevion equipment - historically the current "Virtuoso" modular chassis has evolved from multiple hardware devices into a new unit that is preserving most of the TNS4200 or NX4600 API structures: how can I determine which DM protocol is most suitable for the functions on my device?
Would any of the NEVION Virtuoso integrations support DVEs in the near future?

Getting back to this old thread as it seems two different protocols are kept in parallel – was there a fork at any point between the TNS4200 and the the NX4600 protocol?

I’ve found some “seamless switch” implementation in the TNS4200 protocol v.2.0.0.7 (originally, the probe device), yet most of the features for switching control have been improved in the NX4600 protocol (input selection based on labels rather than on numeric input IDs).

Also, what’s the current limitation on implementing the DVE option also for switch modules? This is not available yet in any of the integrations.

"Nevion Virtuoso" stands for a software-based media platform which can run on two different base hardware platforms:

  • Virtuoso FA: 1RU appliance that holds up to four media accelerators
  • Virtuoso MI: 1RU appliance that holds up to eight media accelerators

Nevion offers different types of media accelerators (e.g. HBR, HBR25, H264, FA uplink).

Each of those media accelerators support different media applications such as network uplink, IP firewalls, SDI-IP ST2110, SDI-IP ST2022, MADI GW, J2K, TICO encoder, TICO decoder, ASI over IP etc... In total around 30 different ones.

here you can find more detailed information about the Nevion Virtuoso platform.

Thanks Thomas, I had checked the manufacturer website too – I’ll be in touch via our TAM to verify what is recommended in our case.
