A new era of innovation for NDI Technology
In a significant advancement for broadcast and professional AV technology, NDI announced the release of NDI 6 at the JB&A Pre-NAB Technology Event. This latest version introduces cutting-edge features that promise to enhance video production and distribution capabilities across various platforms.
NDI 6 marks a leap forward with its support for native 10-bit color depth and High Dynamic Range (HDR), enabling richer color details and greater visual depth in video content. These features are particularly crucial for industries that demand high-quality video outputs, such as broadcasting and professional content creation.
Further integrating the technology, NDI 6 comes embedded directly in cameras. This integration includes NDI Bridge for hardware, making it a part of the camera’s core functionalities. This built-in capability simplifies the setup and allows users to leverage NDI technology directly from the filming equipment, streamlining the production process and reducing the need for additional hardware.
Additionally, NDI audio is becoming increasingly significant, signaling a major focus for future development. Leading audio manufacturers such as LAMA, Waves, Avsono, and Mackie are already integrating NDI audio into their broadcast solutions. This trend underscores the growing importance of advanced audio capabilities in professional AV environments, ensuring comprehensive, high-fidelity audiovisual communications.
NDI is planning on improving NDI 6 even more in the future with NDI 6.1, which will include improved support for metadata, support for NDI Monitoring tools and use cases, more educational content, and continued NDI Audio advancements.
These advancements underline NDI’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of video technology, ensuring that professionals have access to the most efficient and high-quality tools in the industry. The new features are expected to set a new standard in the field, driving further innovations in how video content is produced, managed, and distributed.
