| ONTARIO, Canada – Sept. 2, 2025 – Providius today announced that Leader, a global authority in test and measurement instrumentation, has joined the expanding IP Jackfield™ ecosystem, the virtual patch panel for the ST 2110 era. The integration of Leader’s waveform monitors directly into IP Jackfield empowers broadcast engineers to analyze any media flow from any point on the network with ease and precision. The foundation of IP Jackfield is the tight integration between Providius’ NVRT (Network Visibility & Real-time Telemetry) software and Arista’s switching platforms, as well as their industry-leading DANZ Monitoring Fabric (DMF). By incorporating Leader, IP Jackfield solidifies its position as a vendor-agnostic solution that simplifies operations in complex IP media facilities. Engineers can now access best-in-class test and measurement tools on demand, directly within their workflow, eliminating the need for complex physical patching or standalone equipment. “We are excited to have Leader join the IP Jackfield ecosystem,” said Tony Zare, Senior Vice President at Providius. “Leader’s deep expertise in signal quality monitoring perfectly complements our mission to deliver unparalleled observability for professional media operations. This collaboration ensures our customers can leverage precision tools seamlessly within their IP infrastructure.” “At its core, IP Jackfield is built on a network fabric capable of delivering any stream to any tool without disrupting live production,” said Albert Faust, Technical Lead, Business Development at Arista Networks. “That’s exactly what our DANZ Monitoring Fabric (DMF) is designed to do—provide a resilient, high-performance data plane for today’s advanced workflows. Combined with Providius’ orchestration and Leader’s best-in-class analysis, the ecosystem is stronger than ever, and we’re proud to deliver the foundational technology that makes this critical solution possible for our media customers.” “Providius and Arista’s innovative approach to real-time media observability is transforming how engineers interact with their media flows,” said Koichi Fukagawa, Global Marketing Manager at Leader. “Integrating our test and measurement waveform monitors into IP Jackfield provides users with on-demand access to high-precision analysis, which is critical for maintaining quality and reliability in today’s fast-paced IP production environments.” See the Integration Live at IBC 2025 Attendees can experience this new integration firsthand by visiting the partners at IBC 2025: Arista: Hall 10, Stand 10.D41 Providius: Hall 8, Stand 8.C93 Leader: Hall 10, Stand 10.C01 To schedule a demonstration or for more information, please visit the companies’ websites: www.providius.com www.arista.com www.leaderphabrix.com |
