How NASCAR Enhanced NDI Infrastructure with NETGEAR for Seamless Live Broadcasts

In this article by Erik Hoeboer from NETGEAR, we explore how NASCAR revolutionized its live broadcasting capabilities by upgrading its NDI (Network Device Interface) infrastructure with NETGEAR’s M4250 and M4350 switches. As one of the world’s leading motorsports organizations, NASCAR needed a high-performance networking solution to support real-time, low-latency video streaming during live events.

NASCAR faced challenges with its existing infrastructure, which struggled to handle the high bandwidth demands of NDI streams. To overcome these limitations, the organization implemented NETGEAR’s M4250 and M4350 series switches, specifically designed for AV-over-IP applications. These switches provided high port density, ultra-low latency switching, and intuitive traffic management—essential features for seamless video production.

The deployment of NETGEAR’s AV-focused switches enabled NASCAR to enhance broadcast quality with uninterrupted high-definition streaming. The new infrastructure also improved operational efficiency, reducing production complexity and ensuring smooth workflows. Moreover, the system’s scalability allows NASCAR to expand its NDI network as its broadcasting needs evolve.

By integrating NETGEAR’s M4250 switches, NASCAR has future-proofed its live streaming capabilities, delivering top-tier viewing experiences to millions of fans worldwide. This strategic upgrade cements NASCAR’s commitment to cutting-edge technology, ensuring it remains at the forefront of live sports broadcasting.
