NDI® Bridge

NDI Bridge allows users to securely share and transfer any or all NDI network sources between remote sites, anywhere in the world, using only a single network port. This allows video production teams to stay native in NDI, end-to-end, reducing complexity, cost and latency across existing WANs.

NDI® Remote

The need to bring callers or sources into live productions at the last minute with little time to establish secure and stable connections is one of the greatest headaches for anyone working in live production. NDI Remote means you can connect with any remote user to receive their video and audio over the internet by simply sharing a link. Ideal for quickly bringing in guests to a live show and requires no complex set-up.

Reliable UDP

Reliable UDP uses a high-performance transmission protocol to move video and audio on a network. By adding reliable UDP as an option, NDI now offers zero packet loss or frame drops; giving users a much better experience.

Discovery Server & NIC Selection

NDI 5 hands control back to the users who can now can rely on the speed and quality of their sources by specifying which network interface will be used by NDI, reducing the potential for network resource conflicts.

Private networks made easy

With NDI 5, it’s easier and faster than ever to set up private NDI networks to ensure NDI streams or inputs cannot be viewed by just anyone on your network. Simply select a ‘Privacy’ option when setting up a group and it will be hidden -only be accessible to those who know the group name.

Adobe Creative Cloud

NDI 5 offers an all-new Adobe Creative Cloud plugin which allows audio output both to the soundcard and the NDI output, meaning users can hear the very same audio as is going out to NDI; providing a full editor workflow for Adobe Video Production.

Final Cut Pro

New to NDI 5, this plug-in now allows NDI output for FinalCut Pro from the timeline playout, with real-time audio and video frame buffer output – making working and collaborating with Final Cut Pro easier than ever.
