NewTek Takes on Bold New IP Play

September 29, 2015 - Posted by csandy

NewTek, Inc., publisher of 3D Software and manufacturer of the all-in-one broadcast system, TriCaster and 3Play replay devices has invested significant development resources in bringing Network Device Interface (NDI) to market.

The technology will allow all of its products to engage in bi-directional communication without the limits of traditional physical inputs and outputs. So for example the top-of-the-line TriCaster 8000, which has 8 HDSDI inputs would be able to bring in an almost unlimited number of inputs through network connections over a high-speed LAN.

NewTek currently supports IP connectivity through iVGA, AirPlay, and network inputs, but those technologies span decades and mix various protocols. The NDI architecture has been simplified and would replace those legacy network technologies. How Airplay, which is exclusive to iOS devices, would be replaced by NDI is uncertain but sales representatives, staff, and users of of NewTek seem extremely excited about the possibilities that exist for this technology.

According to NewTek, “producers can receive and switch any video source enabled on the LAN—with an exponential twist: our “network effect” also recognizes the video sources connected to other production switchers too.”

This would allow any TriCaster, 3Play, or yet-to-be-announced device to act as a video router without the latency of traditional SDI routing.

Below is a page where a ton of resources are available explaining NewTek’s latest move. What else does NewTek have in store? We’ll see.
