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. With a single ethernet cable connection, professionals can merge all stages of production from start to finish. That way, all production tasks and processes will be united, so accomplishing a creative vision will be simple. With the NDI 5.5 tool-kit, users will also be able to connect any audio device as an NDI source with NDI’s Audio Direct tool. This adds audio over IP to NDI’s revolution.

What is NDI|HX2?

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. Learn more about NDI technology

Benefits of NDI Technology for Your Streaming Project

NDI technology presents a multitude of advantages for live streaming, encompassing high-quality video and audio, minimal latency, scalability, and seamless integration with your current hardware and software setup. It has emerged as a favored option among broadcasters and content creators seeking to provide top-notch professional live streams.

Connectivity

The BG-UPTZ's connectivity options are second to none. Its 1/2.8” Sony CMOS sensor provides crystal-clear images at resolutions of up to 1080p@60Hz, ensuring that your content looks stunning. What sets this camera apart is its versatile zoom choices. With 12X, 20X, and 30X zoom options, it adapts effortlessly to any venue's size, allowing you to capture all the details, whether you're in a small studio or a large auditorium.

 

Versatility doesn't stop at image quality. The BG-UPTZ is equipped with simultaneous HDMI, 3G-SDI, and USB 3.0 outputs, making it compatible with various setups and video production equipment. This flexibility means you can use it in a live production environment, connect it to a computer for streaming, or even record high-quality video directly to storage devices.

 

Compatibility is a top priority with the BG-UPTZ. It supports popular video protocols such as ONVIF, RTSP, and RTMP. This means that whether you're using professional video production software or looking to stream directly to popular platforms like YouTube, Twitch, or Facebook, the BG-UPTZ seamlessly integrates with your workflow. Additionally, the inclusion of a 3.5mm input jack allows for external microphones and audio systems to be effortlessly embedded into your video stream, ensuring that your audience hears your message loud and clear.

CONTROL

Precision and control are key features of the BG-UPTZ. An onboard dial enables users to lock the output resolution, preventing potential resolution discrepancies before they occur, giving you the peace of mind that your content will look consistently professional.

 

Control options are abundant. The BG-UPTZ can be managed via an IR remote, IP control (IP VISCA, ONVIF), or through a user-friendly browser interface. For advanced users, the RS232 and RS485 serial connections support VISCA, PELCO-D, and PELCO-P protocols, allowing for precise control and customization of your camera's settings. You can store up to 255 camera preset positions, and with the IR remote control, ten of these presets are easily accessible, making it simple to switch between your preferred angles and shots.

 

Moreover, this camera supports Secure Reliable Transport (SRT) technology, ensuring high-quality, low-latency video can be reliably sent over the internet. This feature is invaluable for those looking to stream with minimal delay and top-notch video quality.
