From a state-of-the-art overseas production to the room of a gaming streamer; from a smart network of traffic analysis to the most challenging remote surgeries; from an auction on social media with thousands of bidders to a parent calming their baby through a monitor.
Together with our growing ecosystem, we are developing the most efficient, easy-to-use, and interoperable technology for video connections everywhere. NDI-enabled products are instantly discoverable in a standard IP network without requiring complex setups. They can then send or receive high-quality, low-latency video, audio, controls, and metadata, all in the same stream.
This paper is a collection of the fundamental facts and best practices for anyone that wants to deploy or operate NDI networks. It is updated with features found in NDI 5.6, the latest release of our core technology, and it includes information about:
– NDI Discovery and Registration; – NDI Protocols; – Network layouts; – Bandwidth charts; – Multicast; – Cloud networking
and much more.

To herald the European launch of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 in 2019, video game company Activision enlisted Gamereactor to produce and deliver a special e-sports event whose workflow was based around NDI video connectivity technology and BirdDog’s encoder/decoders.
The athletics program at Harvard University relied upon a traditional baseband infrastructure for its video requirements for many years. But more recently, the Multimedia & Production department has been overseeing a gradual migration to IP via the use of NDI® video connectivity technology to benefit from greater flexibility and easier control at-distance.
As part of a recent media upgrade, the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom has opted to use NDI® video connectivity technology, in conjunction with Panasonic PTZ cameras, to create an extensive networked environment.
NDI® video connectivity technology was an integral part of the workflow when ATX Event Systems and WiFi Joe delivered the streaming production of last year’s Consensus cryptocurrency conference, which took place at seven venues situated in Austin, Texas.
Prior to Covid 19, the AV team at the Guildhall School primarily relied upon an SDI-based system with cameras and a vision mixer to record.
Ready to implement in a wide range of devices thanks to integrations with AMD’s Zynq and Kria lines, NDI video connectivity technology provides the solution to many enduring IP networking challenges.
