The Next Evolution of NDI is here!
NewTek launched NDI technology in 2017 marking an exciting turn in the development of broadcasting technology. IP-based Production is gaining momentum and NewTek is keeping pace by continuing to deliver innovative solutions, better features and benefits for all NDI developers. Find out in the article below what's new and what's to come in the evolution of NDI.
From its start, NewTek’s mission could be distilled to one imperative – to give storytellers a voice through video. We are convinced that computers, software and networks are the three keystones of the next generation of video tools, not for high-end markets only, but for anyone who wants to produce a show, or stream their team, class or congregation – and have fun while doing it.
Video revolutions start in basements and garages wherever creative programmers have great ideas (we know, because we started there, too!) We want them to succeed. When they win, we all win. NDI® is where our commitment to this vision becomes reality.
We could have kept NDI to ourselves. Instead, we made it both incredibly easy to implement and free to sell. Thus we were gratified but not surprised to see hundreds of great new products appear as if overnight that take advantage of NDI’s outstanding A/V interchange features.
To underscore how strongly we feel about this, we even helped our competitors achieve their goals: We released our NDI PTZ cameras, but we also assisted Panasonic, PTZ Optics, Lumens, Marshall, and others to bring their NDI products to market. We’ve made NewTek-brand NDI converters, but helped BirdDog create theirs, too. And we give away, completely free of cost, our richly powerful suite of NDI Tools – to enable developers and end-users alike to immediately multiply the benefits of their investments.
We’re very proud of NDI. It’s what results when a video software company designs an IP protocol. NDI checks all the important boxes for production, but doesn’t paint you into a corner. For example, NDI-SMPTE2110 interop is fully functional. Likewise, we anticipate that upcoming protocols in various stages of development by hardware-focused companies will be equally complementary to and compatible with NDI.
We want to sincerely thank the community for making NDI the world’s most successful IP standard for video production. Without thousands of companies who joined hands with us, more than ten million people would still be chained to HDMI and SDI. While this latest build is dubbed version 3.5 (full integer updates occur at IBC on NDI’s anniversary), it is extremely feature packed and delivers massive benefits for NDI developers and customers alike.
