Introducing NDI 6.1: The next step in IP connectivity.

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.
