NewTek Has a New NDI Native Flex Control Panel—What to Know
By Jennifer P
AVNetwork recently posted an article going over all the great features of the new Flex Control Panel from NewTek. The Flex Control Panel offers direct access to video mixing, audio mixing, PTZ Control, audio I/O, and talkback. NewTek Flex Control Panel is a software interface designed for NewTek’s NDI-based video production systems. It provides an intuitive way for users to control a wide range of production devices, including cameras, PTZ controllers, audio mixers, and other input/output sources, from a single application.
The new Flex control panel from NewTek is a powerful tool for video production and live streaming. By incorporating controls for PTZ devices, audio connections, audio and video mixing, and talkback, the Flex provides a comprehensive solution for managing multiple aspects of a production from a single unit.
The fact that the controls are built directly into the panel also helps reduce the potential for errors, as operators won’t need to switch between different devices or applications to manage different aspects of the production. And with NDI integration, the Flex should offer seamless integration with other NDI-enabled devices on the network.
Flex is an innovative control panel that offers operators greater precision and control over their productions. One of the key features of Flex is its audio I/O, which expands the on-board I/O of any TriCaster and allows operators to add external sources directly to the NDI ecosystem.
In addition, Flex offers unprecedented production freedom by allowing operators to connect to any switcher on a network using NDI. This eliminates the need for fixed cable runs and complex set-ups, and enables operators to change locations easily.
Flex is also highly versatile, working seamlessly with all current TriCaster models and scaling to meet the needs of any production, whether in the studio or on the road. With its advanced features and flexibility, Flex is a powerful tool for any operator looking to take their productions to the next level.
Over the course of the last several years, the demand for high quality distributed production has grown beyond measure. We recognize the need for operators to be able to adapt to any workflow and the Flex does just that—all with the power of NDI. Offering greater control and connectivity than ever before, it’s our most flexible and powerful control panel yet.

Overall, the Flex control panel is a valuable addition to NewTek’s lineup of control panels, and one that should be particularly appealing to those looking for an all-in-one solution for managing video production and live streaming.
