NewTek staged an NDI signage demonstration designed to di- rect any video and audio source to any monitor on a standard gigabit network. Combining the power of NewTek’s NDI Studio Monitor software with industry standard signage allows the addition of another stream as a separate overlay. Monitors and sources can be managed with a web application from any networked laptop, tablet or phone. This demonstration shows the capability to direct any AV source and any overlay to any monitor with ease and efficiency over IP while spot- lighting creative possibilities and cost-saving opportunities for AV customers.


NDI is described as the lead- ing technology for sharing video between software applications and hardware devices on stan- dard Ethernet networks. NDI is royalty free and implemented in thousands of products and used by more than 10 million people worldwide making it the most widely adopted and used IP video standard.
