What is NDI?

Network Device Interface (NDI) is a high performance AV over IP standard that allows anyone to use real time, ultra low latency video on existing IP video networks. The NDI open protocol enables professionals to share video through a local area network (LAN) with video-compatible devices.

What is NDI|HX2?

NDI|HX2 is an updated version of NDI|HX1. NDI|HX2 also compresses the bandwidth, but is more efficient than NDI|HX1. With compressed bandwidth, users can have more devices on their LAN without running into latency issues. NDI|HX2 provides good quality output, low bandwidth and medium latency. The main difference compared to NDI|HX1 is that HX2 is truly a native NDI stream - all the way from the source device to the destination. This means it is a "cleaner" implementation than HX1 and can potentially be more reliable, provide lower latency and give a more flexible connection which shares all the usual features of NDI. Learn more about NDI technology
