Macnica Completes Integration of NMI Media Transport

Macnica can offer the NMI solution alongside its existing ST2022-1/2/5/6/7 and TR-03 (draft ST2110) solutions. Third-party manufacturers of broadcast equipment can now license Macnica's intellectual property to enable their standards-based IP products to integrate seamlessly with NMI solutions.

Macnica is a member of the IP Live Alliance, a group of hardware and software vendors supporting Sony's IP Live promotion initiatives. Macnica has become one of Sony's initial partners for implementing intellectual property for NMI.
