NDI 5.0 opens up new possibilities for broadcasters wanting to use hybrid cloud and on-premise infrastructures because NDI 5.0 supports routing across WAN, said Steve Hart, Development Director of RT Software.
Speaking as the provider of real-time graphics solutions announcing full support for NDI 5.0 video across its entire range of Tactic and Swift broadcast graphics products, he added, “We've seen increased interest from sports broadcasters weighing up the options for green field installations.
“If their strategy is to include a public cloud for live streams, NDI is a strong contender for a low latency signal format. This makes it ideal for sports broadcasters.”
With experience across a full gamut of signal formats, RT Software believes it is well-positioned to advise potential customers, said Mike Fredriksen, Commercial Director, RT Software. He explained, “Whether it is SDI, ST2110, NDI, or a hybrid mix-and-match approach, we can guide how best to implement a new facility infrastructure.
“Even better, we include NDI support for free and our entry level pricing is very competitive. Customers can experiment with absolutely no financial outlay by using the free software downloads on our website.”
