About NewTek NDI®

NDI is already in use in millions of systems. This technology enables multiple video systems to recognize and communicate via IP, as well as encode, transmit and receive a large number of high quality, frame accurate streams with minimal latency. Any device connected to a network can benefit from these advantages, including video mixers, graphics systems, digitizing cards and numerous other production solutions. This way, it is possible to significantly increase the number of sources available for live production switching without having to physically connect to devices, move locations or invest in costly, high-bandwidth networks that are nothing more do as replacing SDI-based workflows.
