What is NDI?

Network Device Interface (NDI) is a high performance AV over IP standard that allows anyone to use real time, ultra low latency video on existing IP video networks. The NDI open protocol enables professionals to share video through a local area network (LAN) with video-compatible devices.

What is NDI|HX3?

NDI|HX2 is an updated version of NDI|HX1. NDI|HX2 also compresses the bandwidth, but is more efficient than NDI|HX1. With compressed bandwidth, users can have more devices on their LAN without running into latency issues. NDI|HX2 provides good quality output, low bandwidth and medium latency. The main difference compared to NDI|HX1 is that HX2 is truly a native NDI stream - all the way from the source device to the destination. This means it is a "cleaner" implementation than HX1 and can potentially be more reliable, provide lower latency and give a more flexible connection which shares all the usual features of NDI.

Who Uses NDI Technology

NDI technology finds widespread application across diverse industries, encompassing broadcasting, live events, education, gaming, healthcare, corporate communication, security, entertainment, virtual studios, and government sectors. This versatile technology excels in delivering flawless audio and video transmissions over IP networks, making it indispensable for tasks like live broadcasts, remote learning, esports streaming, medical imaging, and more.

NDI stands as an adaptable platform, boasting easy setup, minimal latency, and top-tier video connectivity, catering to a broad spectrum of use cases. From professional broadcast studios to consumer-grade setups, NDI seamlessly integrates into various devices and workflows. This adaptability makes it an ideal choice for businesses operating in various sectors, including broadcast and professional audiovisual, cloud video management, conferences, education, gaming, and security.
