Why Do I Need a Network Switch in an NDI Workflow?


You need a network switch for an NDI production workflow because it acts as a central hub that connects all your NDI-enabled devices, such as cameras, computers, and production equipment, together.




  1. Connect Devices: Links cameras, computers, and production gear together.​


  2. Smooth Data Sharing: Ensures easy sharing of video and audio data.​


  3. Organized Workflow: Helps in managing devices for a smooth production process.​


  4. Real-Time Collaboration: Enables instant collaboration between devices.​
