NDI is excited to release the next step of NDI 6. With 6.1, NDI is introducing a universe of features that improve the core functionalities of NDI, bug fixes, and even new downloadables that can serve users and product developers.
New with NDI 6.1
-
Welcome FPGA devices
Sending NDI in 10+ bit HDR is now possible for FPGA hardware products. With NDI 6.1, broadcasters and content creators can set up broadcast-ready workflows with NDI-enabled software and hardware products from end to end. -
Higher contrast
Expanded brightness headroom for spectral highlight detail and stunning contrast levels. -
Wide color gamut
Up to 16 bits per color channel enable over a billion color combinations. -
Minimal color banding
Ultra-precise color produces smooth transitions and seamless gradients. - Broad compatibility
- Supports PQ and HLG formats, streaming accurately to most HDR and non-HDR devices.
-
Experience the contrast.
Expanded brightness headroom for spectral highlight detail and stunning contrast levels.
10+ bit color depth support
-
The difference, bit by bit: native 10+ bit
Native 10+ bit color depth support elevates content creation to excellence levels never seen with NDI. Harness the full spectrum of colors and experience smoother gradients, richer textures, and pixel-perfect precision, all in real-time. -
Matching SDI quality
The best of both worlds: flexible IP video connectivity that supports the bit depth of the traditional industry standard. -
Precision
Streams offer maximum accuracy when representing colors and other image elements, including gradients, shading, and fine details. -
Alpha channel
The 10+ bit color depth can also extend to the alpha channel, controlling transparency and allowing for more nuanced and accurate compositing of elements. -
Expanded creative possibilities
Unlocks professional-grade video editing in every frame, whether it’s the next blockbuster or a homemade vlog. -
It’s smooth streaming from now on.
Higher bit depth makes a difference when content is complex and color-rich. See for yourself.
NDI Bridge Utility for Hardware
-
WAN Connectivity embedded into your camera
The new NDI Bridge utility for hardware enables devices* to autonomously send fully-featured encrypted NDI streams over WAN, streamlining remote production. No complex configuration: your users can connect their cameras to any NDI network worldwide in one simple step. -
Real-time collaboration over WAN
Turn cameras into discoverable sources in NDI networks, enabling anyone with access to find and connect to a global virtual studio. -
Encryption
Thanks to encrypted bidirectional transmission, users can securely connect to NDI networks over the public Internet. Content and metadata can’t be intercepted or used without the correct key. -
Make the connection part of your product’s experience
Employ our API to offer your users a seamless, personalized experience when connecting to an NDI network.
