Bringing in any data or media signal wirelessly poses challenges but also has their benefits. With the creation of NDI, transmitting video wirelessly is now possible.
The NewTek Connect Spark is a simple tool that does a whole heck of a lot. Not only will it transmit an HDMI or SDI signal wirelessly over existing network infrastructure to an NDI enabled switcher, but it will also loop record to an SD card or USB hard drive. Network Device Interface, or NDI, is an open standard that enables products to communicate, deliver and receive broadcast quality video with low latency and frame-accuracy for switching in a live production. What kind of video you transmit is up to you — the applications are near endless.
This week’s Fries n’ Shake accessories video features accessories for live production systems that support NDI. From cameras to converters and software, there are many opportunities to add-on additional sales when a customer purchases and live production system that supports NDI’s innovative technology.
