- 3.0 has an all-new interface. More intuitive and elegant, this rebuild makes it easier than ever to set up connections. 3.0 uses SRT, with 128/256-bit AES encryption for high security. Further, SRT ensures extremely reliable streams even with low latency.
- New transport, built in conjunction with Google, is a globally-connected network. Cloud 3.0 also accommodates other network infrastructures.
- BirdDog Cloud for Adobe Premiere offers remote editing workflows for collaboration between directors, editors and producers — anywhere in the world. Workflows enable production teams to access edit sessions on Apple, Android or Samsung mobile devices.
Additional notables
- New GPU-accelerated codec support, including Apple Video ToolBox for MacOS
- Support for iOS and tvOS (h.264 and HEVC), NVIDIA NVENC (h.264 and HEVC) and Intel Quicksync (h.264, HEVC and VP9)
- API Control for global video workflows
- Cloud Recorder, which allows NDI to record at both sender and receiver endpoints
