Nevion’s MOXELA, new in the Sony Networked Live Ecosystem, creates low-latency media applications for broadcast, contribution, remote and cloud production on-prem or in the cloud.
Nevion, a part of Sony, has made a new addition to its Networked Live ecosystem: a new software-based media processing platform called MOXELA running on COTS servers or in the cloud, and designed to transform how broadcasters, production companies and media organizations transport, process and monitor live video, audio and data. MOXELA, which is natively integrated with the VideoIPath media orchestration platform, has been shown at the NAB Show 2026.
The MOXELA platform consists of media functions that can be combined to create high-quality, low-latency media applications for broadcast facilities, contribution networks, remote and cloud production. Designed from the start to be open and compatible with existing and emerging industry standards, the media functions can be integrated with other products to deliver the media processing functionality they require.
ST 2110, NDI and Media Exchange Layer (MXL) Support
MOXELA supports not only SMPTE ST 2110 and NDI, but also the recently specified Media Exchange Layer (MXL), which is supported by the Linux Foundation, EBU and NABA, and is designed to standardize real-time, in-memory exchange of uncompressed audio, video, and metadata between software applications.
MOXELA’s tight integration with VideoIPath creates a unified way to control, orchestrate, virtualize and monitor not only the media applications developed on the platform, but also other equipment and systems on-prem and in the cloud either from Sony or 3rd party suppliers. This significantly simplifies the end-to-end management of live-production workflows, delivering speed, efficiency and lowering deployment risks.
Bringing agility, scalability and flexibility to media workflows, MOXELA also allows greater independence regarding vendors and infrastructure platforms through its use of modern software development principles and adhering to emerging industry guidelines such as the EBU’s Digital Media Facility (DMF), a concept for modern, software-defined production infrastructures in the media industry.
Cloud-Native
The MOXELA platform is developed with cloud native architecture at its core. It supports containerised deployment across a wide range of compute-platforms, from on-premises COTS hardware to private and public cloud environments. This approach gives media organisations the freedom to design workflows that best suit their operational and commercial needs, while avoiding vendor lock-in.
Jan Helgesen, Head of Product and Solution at Nevion also said, “Nevion has been delivering software-defined media systems for over a decade and has developed great expertise in that period. The new MOXELA software platform is the logical evolution of our work, and its timing aligns strategically with the development of common frameworks for the broadcast industry, which is very important for our customers. Over the coming months, we will be delivering key functionality for a variety of media applications – so stay tuned.”
At NAB Show 2026, Sony and Nevion demonstrated software-defined media operations involving, for example, MOXELA and the M2L-X software switcher, both in the cloud and on-prem, using MXL, among others. nevion.com
