Media Production Gear Supplier Declares 2017 “The Year of NDI®”
Like many of us like to do, Gary Bettan from VideoGuys.com in the New York metro area, takes a look back at the year just ended and selects his choices for the top products introduced in 2017. Unable to narrow it down to a Top 10, his list includes a Top 12. After declaring 2017 “The Year of NDI,” seven of his top 12 products are NDI-enabled including three NewTek products.
“We’ve posted several videos this year featuring NDI and NDI products. Many of the products on this year’s Top 12 list are NDI-based. Kudos to Dr. Andrew Cross and his team over at NewTek. NDI adoption has been tremendous and new NDI products and workflows keep coming. That is why I will say it again: 2017 was the year of NDI!”
From his top 12 list, Bettan picks out a single product – the TriCaster TC1 – as the Product of the Year followed by the other 11 worthy products in no ranked order.
The Top 12 list entries that support NDI include:
- NewTek TriCaster® TC1
- NewTek Connect Spark SDI-to-NDI and HDMI-to-NDI converters
- NewTek NDI PTZ Camera (1080 60p, 20x zoom)
- BirdDog Studio SDI/HDMI-to-NDI converter
- Telestream Wirecast 8
- Telestream Wirecast Gear 230
- PTZOptics Gen 2 PTZ Cameras with NDI firmware (1080 30p, 12 x and 20x zoom models).
