Introducing NDI 6.1: The next step in IP connectivity. | By The Digital Insider

NDI is excited to release the next step of NDI 6. With 6.1, NDI is introducing a universe of features that improve the core functionalities of NDI, bug fixes, and even new downloadables that can serve users and product developers. 

New with NDI 6.1

• 
  Welcome FPGA devices
  Sending NDI in 10+ bit HDR is now possible for FPGA hardware products. With NDI 6.1, broadcasters and content creators can set up broadcast-ready workflows with NDI-enabled software and hardware products from end to end.


• 
  Higher contrast
  Expanded brightness headroom for spectral highlight detail and stunning contrast levels.


• 
  Wide color gamut
  Up to 16 bits per color channel enable over a billion color combinations.


• 
  Minimal color banding
  Ultra-precise color produces smooth transitions and seamless gradients.


• Broad compatibility


• Supports PQ and HLG formats, streaming accurately to most HDR and non-HDR devices.


• 
  Experience the contrast.
  Expanded brightness headroom for spectral highlight detail and stunning contrast levels.

10+ bit color depth support

• 
  The difference, bit by bit: native 10+ bit
  Native 10+ bit color depth support elevates content creation to excellence levels never seen with NDI. Harness the full spectrum of colors and experience smoother gradients, richer textures, and pixel-perfect precision, all in real-time.


• 
  Matching SDI quality
  The best of both worlds: flexible IP video connectivity that supports the bit depth of the traditional industry standard.


• 
  Precision
  Streams offer maximum accuracy when representing colors and other image elements, including gradients, shading, and fine details.


• 
  Alpha channel
  The 10+ bit color depth can also extend to the alpha channel, controlling transparency and allowing for more nuanced and accurate compositing of elements.


• 
  Expanded creative possibilities
  Unlocks professional-grade video editing in every frame, whether it’s the next blockbuster or a homemade vlog.


• 
  It’s smooth streaming from now on.
  Higher bit depth makes a difference when content is complex and color-rich. See for yourself.

NDI Bridge Utility for Hardware

• 
  WAN Connectivity embedded into your camera
  The new NDI Bridge utility for hardware enables devices* to autonomously send fully-featured encrypted NDI streams over WAN, streamlining remote production. No complex configuration: your users can connect their cameras to any NDI network worldwide in one simple step.


• 
  Real-time collaboration over WAN
  Turn cameras into discoverable sources in NDI networks, enabling anyone with access to find and connect to a global virtual studio.


• 
  Encryption
  Thanks to encrypted bidirectional transmission, users can securely connect to NDI networks over the public Internet. Content and metadata can’t be intercepted or used without the correct key.


• 
  Make the connection part of your product's experience
  Employ our API to offer your users a seamless, personalized experience when connecting to an NDI network.
