(NETWORK DEVICE INTERFACE)
“What is NDI?” In a nutshell, NewTek’s Network Device Interface (NDI) technology is the world’s most
prolific video over IP protocol for live production. NDI allows systems and devices to identify and
communicate with each other, and to encode, transmit, and receive high quality, low latency, frame-accurate
video and audio over IP in real time.
NDI enabled devices and software have the potential to greatly enhance your video production pipeline, by
making video input and output available anywhere your network runs. Vizrt systems and a growing number
of third-party systems provide direct support for NDI, both for ingest and output. Although Viz 2110 IO
provides many other useful features, it is purpose designed primarily to turn SMPTE 2110 sources into NDI
signals and vice versa.
