Bringing together IP video standards, including NDI, and support for streaming IP formats found in cameras from JVC, Panasonic, PTZ Optics, Sony, and Vaddio, NewTek Connect Pro empowers users to take advantage of an end-to-end IP live-production workflow. The service includes support of ASPEN and SMPTE 2022 protocols.

On Monday, NewTek announced NDI for Adobe Creative Cloud, a software plug-in with NewTek’s NDI technology, which allows users of Adobe Premiere Pro CC, Adobe After Effects CC, and other Adobe applications to send real-time video and audio to NDI-enabled receiving products, including production switchers or capture cards, across a standard Ethernet network.
