Seamless Integration

The MediaDS is fully equipped for existing and emerging SDI, IP, and hybrid workflows, with flawless, multi-format processing allowing supported source types to be used interchangeably on each channel. Streaming signals are acquired through direct, physical input using 3G/HD/SD-SDI hardware connections, over IP via NDI, NewTek’s innovative Network Device Interface technology, and from other sources, including TCP/IP, webcams, and USB capture devices.
