Net Insight Tackles Media Network Security with SMPTE RP2129 | NAB 2025
At NAB 2025 we catch up with Paul Evans from Net Insight about how broadcasters can better secure their IP-based media networks using the SMPTE RP2129 recommended practice.
Paul explains how Facilities Protect, Net Insight’s media-specific firewall solution, provides a purpose-built way to prevent misconfigurations and unauthorised traffic from disrupting production. Designed around SMPTE RP2129, it ensures only valid media flows enter your trusted environment - checking formats, bitrates, IP addresses, and more.
From policing incorrect stream sizes to defending your infrastructure from over-subscription and mistakes, this is media firewalling optimised for broadcast.
