WHAT IS NDI?

There is no video

without connection.

NDI stands for Network Device Interface, a video connectivity standard that enables multimedia systems to identify and communicate with one another over IP and to encode, transmit, and receive high-quality, low latency, frame-accurate video and audio, and exchange metadata in real-time.

 

NDI operates bi-directionally, with many streams on a shared connection. Its encoding algorithm is resolution and frame-rate-independent, supporting 4K resolutions and beyond, along with unlimited floating-point audio channels and custom metadata.

 
NDI is the technology removing the limits of video connectivity.

 

Together with our growing ecosystem, we are developing the most efficient, easy-to-use, and interoperable technology for video connections everywhere. 

High Efficiency

We develop the most advanced video connectivity formats; and allow productions to scale without scaling costs.

Plug & Play

We guarantee that any NDI-enabled product is easy to operate, even without networking knowledge, and always works seamlessly.

Interoperable

We unlock complete connectivity with a growing ecosystem of NDI-enabled and compatible devices; and NDI is the only protocol you’ll need.

CORE TECHNOLOGY

The next step in IP connectivity.

NDI-enabled products

  • Are instantly discoverable in a standard IP network without requiring complex setups. 
  • Can send or receive high-quality, low-latency video, audio, controls, and metadata, all in the same stream.
  • Become interoperable with an ecosystem of thousands of hardware and software products.
