What is NDI?
NDI is the acronym for Network Device Interface and is an protocol to transmit your production over a IP on a local network. You can read the official explanation of NDI from the founders at Newtek. Below
NDI is in the hands of millions of users allowing multiple video systems to identify and communicate with one another over IP. NDI can encode, transmit and receive many streams of high quality, low latency, frame-accurate video and audio in real time. This benefits any network-connected video device, including video mixers, graphics systems, capture cards, and many other production devices. This makes it possible to exponentially increase the number of sources available for live production switching, without directly attaching to devices, changing locations, or investing in expensive, high-bandwidth networks that simply replace SDI-based workflows. read more..
