Unofficial Guide to NDI Course - Video #1 - What is NDI?

Network Device Interface (NDI®) is a high-quality, low latency IP video transmission standard that is popular for video production. NDI® is an easy way to connect live video sources between computers. The NDI® video connection standard was initially adopted by the live video production industry for use in software including Wirecast, vMix, LiveStream Studio, OBS (via a plugin), xSplit, and the NewTek TriCaster. Today, NDI® is used in a wide variety of video applications including broadcast, distance learning, and video communications. It’s easy to use NDI® with almost any project that uses video on a computer since there are so many software and hardware integrations.

Most users of NDI® are looking for a new way of connecting video sources beyond standard High Definition Media Interface (HDMI) and Serial Digital Interface (SDI) cables. HDMI and SDI video cables have obvious limitations like cable distance and resolution. NDI® offers much greater flexibility compared to traditional video cables because it uses network connections that are already in place for most computer systems.

To get started, users can download free NDI® tools which are used to send and receive video over a standard Local Area Network (LAN). Over the years, NDI® tools have grown to include NDI® video viewing applications, screen capture software, virtual webcam inputs, remote camera controls, and KVM solutions. There are even apps for iOS and Android devices that can turn a smartphone into a camera or presentation tool using NDI®. NDI® tools allow anyone to get started using IP video and easily leapfrog old technologies that used to require expensive video capture cards and switchers.
