PTZOptics would like to welcome the NewTek™ NDI™

What is the
NewTek NDI™?
Complete access,
control, and
creativity over IP.
Release your video productions from the
technical and physical limitations of standard
broadcast infrastructures. Easily transition to
video over IP with NDI, NewTek’s innovative
Network Device Interface technology, and
ready-to-use software enabling interconnected
production workflows.

Introduction
What does this mean for NewTek and
the popular TriCasters?
What does this mean for PTZOptics?
The NewTek ™ NDI (Network Device Interface) is an IP industry
standard for sending and receiving ultra low latency, high definition
video and audio sources for live broadcasts. The NewTek NDI is a
royalty free standard anyone can implement to connect video
equipment across a network. Your production switcher, capture
system, media server—any NDI-enabled device on the network—can
see and access content from all other devices, allowing more sources
than ever before to be used for live production. The protocol has been
pioneered by Dr. Andrew Cross, NewTek’s president and CTO
PTZOptics does have plans to integrate with the NewTek NDI directly
into a camera model in the future. Currently NDI functionality with
PTZOptics uses the NewTek Connect Pro Application which is
included with the PTZ Producer Kits.

Integration
Opportunities
Did you know?
Over 82 different vendors
demonstrated NDI compatible
products at the 2017 NAB Show.
NDI-enabled devices and applications are already in the hands of
millions of customers and continue to generate tremendous industry
momentum since its introduction at IBC last year. “
NDI works with applications from almost every major vendor and
virtually every I/O card on the market. There is no doubt that this move
to IP-based production is fundamentally transforming our industry.” —
Dr. Andrew Cross, NewTek’s president and CTO

Broadcast Use Case
Overview:
The NewTek NDI allows for ultra low latency connections between multiple systems. Therefore multiple video
production systems can now share resources over a local area network. A PTZ Producer system can share
video and audio sources with a NewTek TriCaster allowing for flexible deployments for any budget. In the
below example we are showing a NewTek TriCaster with various HD-SDI PTZOptics cameras connected.
This Tricaster is then connected via NDI to the PTZ Producer system over the Local Area Network.

Education Use Case
Overview:
In the educational space the NewTek NDI enables organizations to affordably connect multiple classrooms to
a larger school broadcast or announcement show. Each classroom / teacher may use the PTZ Producer kit
for video conferencing, learning management and lecture capture on a daily basis. With the NewTek Connect
Pro App, the main broadcast studio can now pull in video and audio sources from various classrooms on
campus during school announcements.

House of Worship
Overview:
In the example below we are demonstrating how one central house of worship can incorporate video feeds
from various houses of worship areas on the same network. Because the NewTek NDI provides bi-directional
video and audio, each church can now share video/audio resources. This is ideal for sharing views from
multiple churches, presentations, audiences and more. Satellite churches can even localize content with
branding and control for local recordings. NDI can also be used to power additional monitors with the main
broadcast video (PTZ Producer Kit can be used to send or receive video).

Pro Tip #2:
Upgrade your lid
Save desktop space and use the
included VESA mount to attach
the Intel NUC to the back of your
LCD monitor or wall.

Pro Tip #3: Use
the SD Card Slot!
Have someone from your team
run out and grab B-Roll footage
with a Digital SLR Camera… Or
even better, fly a drone around
the venue (safely with proper
license/permission) and pop the
footage in!

Pro Tip #4:
Optimize your
Joystick
It’s always a good idea to get
your Joystick presets saved. We
suggest keeping a list beside
the joystick.

the industry's coolest lightning
bolt products for live streaming!
Thunderbolt 3 has 40Gbps!
