June 2, 2021, Vizrt Group will unveil NewTek NDI® 5, one of the most exciting product releases of the year.
NewTek NDI® 5, which will be available for download later this month, will allow anyone to easily move video, audio, and metadata over LAN, WAN, and public internet – at high speed and quality – using billions of devices around the world. With NDI® 5, physical studios will be able to connect to cloud-based ones, effectively making remote video production local.
The advantages of NDI's optimized codec and transport protocols provide unparalleled usability across existing networks. These advantages are enhanced in NDI 5 by:
- NDI Remote: By simply sharing a link, you can connect with any remote user to receive their video and audio over the public internet. This is ideal for quickly adding sources to live productions as well as receiving video from virtually any mobile device in the world into virtually any video software application.
- NDI Audio Direct: This set of audio plugins enables almost any audio software application to use NDI. Users can select, receive, and generate multichannel audio with extremely high quality and near-zero latency using NDI Audio Direct.
- NDI Bridge: Using a simple and secure network setup, users can securely share NDI sources between remote sites anywhere in the world. This enables live production teams to remain native in NDI from start to finish, reducing complexity, cost, and latency over any distance.
- Reliable UDP: This new transmission protocol, NDI, simplifies network infrastructure setup by alleviating network congestion even with low-performance network equipment and without the need for complex configuration.
- OSX Support: Broader support for Apple silicon systems for the first time brings full NDI capability to all iOS, tvOS, and iPadOS devices.
- Improved Adobe Premiere and FCP support: NLE editors, rejoice: this updated plug-in now supports real-time audio and video frame buffer output for Final Cut Pro, while the Adobe Premiere and After Effects plugin now support improved audio workflow.
The free NDI Tools download has been reimagined for NDI 5 with a new interface and intuitive guidance built in to make NDI even more accessible to both new and experienced users. And, for a limited time, we're giving away 10,000 downloads of our camera app, which will allow NDI users to add a 4K capable camera to their show by connecting their NDI-enabled mobile device. With the June 2, 2021 announcement, the free camera app will be available.

About NDI:
The NewTek NDI is a royalty-free standard that allows multiple video systems to identify and communicate with one another over IP. In real-time, it can encode, transmit, and receive multiple streams of broadcast-quality, low-latency, frame-accurate video and audio. This allows for an exponential increase in the number of sources available for live production switching without directly connecting to devices, changing locations, or investing in costly, high-bandwidth networks that simply replace SDI-based workflows.
