Net Insight (Nasdaq Stockholm: NETI B) is a Swedish media technology company based in Solna, Stockholm. Its Nimbra products are used by broadcasters, production companies and service providers around the world to transport live video for sports, news and entertainment. ABOUT NIMBRA EDGE Nimbra Edge is Net Insight's cloud-native platform for live media transport. It runs in public, private and hybrid cloud environments and controls both software and physical media-processing appliances. Live streams can be transported using technologies such as RIST, SRT and Zixi, and processed, monitored or transcoded along the way. ABOUT THE TEAM AND THE THESIS OPPORTUNITIES The Nimbra Edge team works across this entire chain, from the control plane and user interface to low-latency video and audio processing and transport. We are looking for master's thesis students interested in real-world problems in live media systems. The topics below are intended as starting points, and the exact scope can be adapted together with the student and university. RESEARCH QUESTION Which system, workload and deployment factors have the greatest impact on the performance and scalability of MXL-based live media pipelines? ABOUT MXL AND THE ASSIGNMENT MXL (Media eXchange Layer) is an open-source SDK for exchanging uncompressed video, audio and data between software media functions. Investigate its performance in realistic live-production workloads and build a reproducible benchmark that can be used to understand where its practical limits and bottlenecks are. POSSIBLE AREAS TO INVESTIGATE · producer–consumer versus one-to-many or many-to-one workflows. · increasing the number of simultaneous video and audio streams. · different resolutions, frame rates and media formats. · x86 versus ARM systems. · native processes versus containers or Kubernetes. · same-host versus inter-host media exchange. · MXL Flow API versus Fabric API use cases. · CPU affinity, NUMA placement and memory contention. · behaviour when CPU or memory bandwidth becomes constrained. · different buffering and application access patterns. · direct MXL integration versus frameworks such as GStreamer. · scalability when several independent media functions share the same host. SUGGESTED MEASUREMENTS Useful measurements could include end-to-end and tail latency, jitter, CPU usage, memory bandwidth, memory footprint, missed real-time deadlines, throughput and the maximum number of streams a system can sustain. OPTIONAL COMPARISON Where useful, MXL can also be compared with a simpler reference implementation, such as a minimal shared-memory producer–consumer pipeline, to estimate the overhead introduced by the media exchange layer itself. SCOPE AND FLEXIBILITY The exact experiments do not need to cover all of these areas. A thesis could instead select a small number of system variables and investigate them in depth, with the benchmark and methodology forming an important part of the contribution.

The topics below are intended as starting points, and the exact scope can be adapted together with the student and university. RESEARCH QUESTION How does Media over QUIC Transport (MOQT) compare with RIST and SRT under realistic network and latency constraints, and can media-aware prioritization improve delivery when network capacity becomes insufficient? BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Investigate MOQT as a transport for low-latency live media, using RIST and/or SRT as a baseline. Explore how knowledge about media importance and playback deadlines can help a transport system decide which media to transmit, retransmit, delay or discard when all available data cannot arrive in time. SUGGESTED APPROACH The work would use a reproducible test environment to study a selected set of network conditions, such as packet loss, burst loss, jitter, packet reordering and changes in available bandwidth. An initial comparison would establish how the selected transports behave under these conditions, followed by an evaluation of media-aware prioritization in one suitable transport. POSSIBLE PRIORITIZATION STRATEGIES * audio versus video. * key frames, reference frames and their dependent frames. * base and enhancement layers. * primary and secondary programme streams. * media versus metadata or ancillary data. * playback deadlines and the remaining useful lifetime of data. EVALUATION CRITERIA * end-to-end latency and latency stability. * media delivered before its deadline. * decodable video frames and audio continuity. * bandwidth efficiency and protocol overhead. * startup and recovery time after loss or congestion. * starvation of lower-priority media. POSSIBLE EXTENSION: ALTERNATIVES TO MPEG-TS The work could also investigate alternatives to MPEG Transport Stream (MPEG-TS) packaging for MOQT, examining both benefits and drawbacks in terms of latency, overhead, media-aware prioritization, synchronization and interoperability. This could include identifying what information must be conveyed separately when MPEG-TS is replaced, and assessing how far additional signaling through MSF (MOQT Streaming Format) can meet those needs. The investigation could explore which capabilities are preserved, where further mechanisms are needed, and what complexity or limitations the alternative packaging introduces. SCOPE AND FLEXIBILITY The scope can be adapted by selecting a small number of network scenarios, media structures, packaging formats and prioritization strategies. A thesis could, for example, compare MOQT with one established transport and then investigate a selected packaging approach or prioritization strategy within MOQT. Existing work comparing RIST and SRT can provide a baseline, allowing the contribution to focus primarily on what MOQT changes or enables.
