With NDI, every camera on your network becomes instantly accessible, making it easy to route feeds to production systems, overflow rooms, IMAG, and more. Some models even offer completely wireless operation, giving you ultimate flexibility in camera placement and live production workflows. Encoders & Decoders 🞂 https://tinyurl.com/435atnhv NDI encoders and decoders are essential tools for integrating traditional video sources with IP-based workflows. Encoders convert baseband video signals (like HDMI or SDI) into NDI streams, while decoders do the reverse—transforming NDI sources back into baseband for use with legacy displays or switchers. Some converters are even bi-directional, offering both encoding and decoding capabilities in a single device for maximum flexibility. NETGEAR AV-over-IP Switches 🞂 https://tinyurl.com/4kha9pv9 The M4250 Line of switches are designed specifically for AV over IP with NDI and Dante Presets available. Some switches even support ST 2110! The M4250 acts like a hub for all of your NDI Devices to communicate to each other 👉 Ready to build your IP video workflow?
