So, Why Choose NDI?

Transitioning from baseband SDI to NDI provides numerous benefits for broadcasters and live production professionals:

1. Cost-effective cabling and infrastructure: NDI eliminates expensive SDI cabling and associated infrastructure, utilizing more affordable and easily installed Ethernet infrastructure. Fiber optic cabling allows for cost-effective long runs.
2. Enhanced flexibility: Easily transmit and share live video feeds across networks with the NDI protocol. Quickly route video signals to any NDI-enabled device on your network for ultimate control over your production workflow.
3. Superior signal quality: NDI's efficient compression algorithm delivers visually lossless video, enabling broadcast-quality transmission over standard Ethernet networks without complex SDI infrastructure.
4. Streamlined setup and configuration: NDI simplifies broadcast and live production workflow deployment with its suite of software tools.
5. Scalability: NDI's cost-effective solution allows seamless expansion of live production and broadcast workflows by adding devices without extra SDI equipment.

NDI empowers users to create a flexible, adaptable, and budget-friendly video production workflow, with the BirdDog openGear OG4 card acting as the ideal bridge between NDI and traditional baseband SDI.
