"The way we transmit video has changed dramatically in recent years. NDI streaming is one of the most important shifts driving professional streaming today. Developed by NewTek, NDI makes it possible to transmit high-quality video over standard IP networks in real time. For production teams, this means less reliance on bulky HDMI cables and SDI cables and more freedom to build flexible, scalable systems on existing network infrastructure.

In this guide, we’ll answer the question “what is NDI”, how it compares to traditional protocols like HDMI and SDI, and what you need to know to implement it in 2025."

What this guide will teach you:

• What is NDI and why it’s revolutionizing video production
• NDI vs HDMI vs SDI
• Step-by-step NDI setup guide
• Bandwidth requirements and network optimization
• NDI-enabled equipment recommendations
• Troubleshooting common NDI issues
• Future of NDI technology and roadmap

Here's an excerpt from the article:

What is NDI and why it’s revolutionizing video production

At its core, NDI (short for Network Device Interface) is a video-over-IP protocol that enables multiple video streams to travel across a local network with very low latency. Unlike legacy systems, where every camera or video source requires a direct cable to a switcher, NDI allows you to route and share sources across your IP networks.

The benefits are clear:

• High-quality video: NDI supports resolutions up to 4K and beyond.
• Seamless integration: It works on the same infrastructure already in place for most businesses and schools.
• Scalability: Adding new NDI sources is as simple as connecting them to the network.

For professional broadcast environments, this shift is as significant as the move from analog to digital.
