Vizrt Viz Connect Tetra

Vizrt Viz Connect Tetra is an ultra-compact live-production workstation designed for four-channel 4K and HD video connectivity in studios, remote productions, mobile systems, and distributed broadcast environments. It combines 12G-SDI, 3G-SDI, NDI® High Bandwidth, NDI|HX, SRT, RTMP, RTSP, and Viz Flowics HTML5 support within a small desktop chassis.

Each I/O channel can be configured independently, allowing engineers to convert between SDI and NDI, bring HTML5 graphics into IP or baseband workflows, record SDI feeds, and play back supported media. Built-in NDI Bridge integration also extends the system beyond the local network, supporting remote contribution and production over public internet connections without requiring separate bridge hardware.

Highlights

• Four configurable I/O channels support independent 12G-SDI, 3G-SDI, NDI, and graphics workflows
• Integrated Viz Flowics HTML5 support converts browser-based graphics for NDI or SDI output
• Built-in NDI Bridge integration connects remote and cloud-based production locations
• 16 × 16 audio-routing matrix allows channel-level repatching during production
• Compact desktop form factor delivers 4K conversion, recording, playback, and monitoring without a full rack chassis

Why It Helps

Viz Connect Tetra gives broadcast engineers a compact way to connect IP video, SDI equipment, HTML5 graphics, audio, recording, and playback without building a larger rack-based conversion system. Because each channel can be assigned independently, one unit can handle several different signal paths at the same time, including camera feeds, graphics outputs, monitoring returns, and remote-production sources.

The integrated NDI Bridge workflow is particularly useful for productions spread across several locations. Tetra can send or receive NDI over remote networks while still providing local SDI connectivity, allowing existing baseband equipment to remain part of the production chain. Its 16 × 16 audio matrix also gives operators more freedom to repatch embedded audio, commentary, translation, or program feeds without physically changing cabling.

System Characteristics

• Independent four-channel architecture allows each I/O path to use its own source, destination, and conversion workflow
• Hybrid baseband and IP design connects 12G-SDI and 3G-SDI equipment with NDI, NDI|HX, SRT, RTMP, and RTSP sources
• Integrated HTML5 graphics conversion brings Viz Flowics content into NDI or SDI production systems
• Flexible audio infrastructure combines embedded SDI, NDI, USB audio, Dante, ASIO, and 16 × 16 routing
• Desktop and rack-ready deployment supports standalone operation or installation of up to two units with an optional rack kit
