Harvard is still operating with standard wire networks, Lafayette has run fiber networking. In both cases, NDI is able to operate successfully to provide high-quality, low-latency video and audio to the control room, as well as to convey tally and control information to the cameras. Where robotic cameras are in use, this includes pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ) control....read more
