LiveU and NewTek NDI integration

Seamless integration with NewTek’s NDI standard

Leverage LiveU’s integration with NewTek’s Network Device Interface (NDI™) standard for an efficient and cost-effective live production IP workflow solution.

The joint solution increases the number of video sources available for live production substantially, with LiveU’s NDI-enabled LU2000 bonded video transceiver recognized as a source by other NDI-enabled devices and systems connected to a standard Ethernet local area network.

Increased Capabilities

Broadcasters can receive their feeds over IP networks directly from the LiveU LU2000 bonded video transceiver, including automatic discovery of available feeds. This capability enables many new options that have not been possible with standard SDI connections without adding expensive additional hardware and complex routing.  

Remote At-Home Production

Implement a remote production setup with multiple cameras equipped with LiveU field units that communicate back to the studio for true at-home production. This reduces the amount of equipment staff has to transport and eliminates expensive onsite production costs. Back at home base, all NDI integrated equipment, such as the NewTek TriCaster multi-camera video production system, monitors, and graphic overlays all automatically recognize the available NDI channels and can consume the feeds without the challenge of having to include a matrix router, configuring that router, and all the analog SDI cables that would be needed.

Full Compatibility

The NewTek NDI standard for live production IP workflow is bi-directional and compatible with a large number of products from top manufacturers already utilizing NewTek’s standard allowing IP connectivity between devices and applications. LiveU is part of the NewTek Developer Network (ndi.newtek.com), the industry’s largest ecosystem of IP-enabled products using the same standard.
