By Jamie G
Roberto Musso, NDI® Senior Product Manager, Vizrt Group shares his insights on NDI 5, how it’s challenging the status quo, and the future it holds. NDI is a high performance standard that allows anyone to use real time, ultra low latency video on existing IP video networks. Check out some hightlights from Musso’s Journal Article
“The NDI platform has evolved for years since its initial launch in 2016, and the 2021 launch of NDI 5 provides users with a more straightforward, efficient, and flexible workflow with many key developments. Briefly stated, NDI 5 gives control to the users who can now specify which network interface will be used, reducing the potential for network resource conflicts with other protocols or applications. With NDI 5, it’s easier and faster than ever to set up private NDI networks to ensure NDI streams or inputs can only be viewed by your selected production team. NDI 5 also supercharges post-production workflows and makes collaboration between sites easy and secure.”

“A huge game-changing benefit of NDI is its ability to empower creative teams of any size to achieve big show results as there are no limitations from specialized upgrades, networks, or hardware. NDI enables multiple video sources to work simultaneously on Gigabit Ethernet networks and grows to 10Gbit and beyond for massive scaling to almost unlimited streams and resolutions. NDI can even use Wi-Fi networks as another complementary path to utilize smartphones, tablets, and other compatible products as content sources.”

“While there are many other specific use cases, it would be impossible to list them all. The reality is that NDI enables more video capabilities to exist. For in-studio, remote or live events, NDI provides an elegant solution that merges the many elements of a production to accomplish any creative vision. With unrivaled ease of use, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness, NDI means almost any space – work, schools, churches, homes, venues, or even sports fields – can become a location for live video, and this is a very liberating industry development, both for creativity and for business.”
