IBC 2017: NewTek to showcase end to end IP video production solution

For the first time anywhere, NewTek will debut its full end to end IP solution at IBC2017 in Amsterdam from September 15-19, 2017 on Stand 7.K11. NewTek will demonstrate the world’s first NDI PTZ camera with video, audio, PTZ control, tally and power over one standard Ethernet cable.

NewTek will also show the Connect Spark portable NDI converters, devices designed to bring SDI or HDMI video signals into a computer or onto an IP network, either wired or wirelessly, and include tally and direct recording. The NewTek NDI PTZ Camera and Connect Spark devices work with all NDI compatible products including LiveStream Studio, SplitmediaLabs XSplit, Streamstar, OBS Studio, Renewed Vision ProPresenter 6, StudioCoast vMix, Telestream Wirecast, NewTek TriCaster, and hundreds more.

NewTek will also showcase the award winning TriCaster TC1 and IP Series. These systems provide switching, streaming, recording in HD, 3G, and 4K UHD 60p on all inputs. At the heart of NewTek’s IP revolution is royalty-free NDI technology. All of these products utilise NDI version 3, the third generation of NewTek’s IP video technology standard. This new version provides advanced features and performance improvements while maintaining full forward and backward compatibility. Among dozens of other enhancements, NDI version 3 supports multicast with forward error correction; a high efficiency mode suitable for wireless or long distance transmission; PTZ camera control and tally; improved encoding performance, and much more.

NDI has become the de facto industry standard for sharing IP video over a one Gigabit Ethernet network, infrastructure which already exists throughout schools, hotels, businesses, houses of worship, stadiums and other live venues. Millions of NDI-enabled applications, devices and systems are in use and NewTek will be demonstrating how the NDI standard is a fast, easy way to get IP video into your production, it said.

To complete the full end to end IP workflow, NewTek will also demo MediaDS, a real time media encoding and live streaming video delivery platform; TalkShow, the multi-channel video calling production system and its 4K-capable IP Series, a software-driven, modular video production system with virtually limitless access to video sources and video mixing options.
