TAG Video Systems has announced that it has added support for NDI 5 and SRT, two protocols that dramatically increase connectivity and signal transport options and open the door to greater collaboration and creativity.
This development is in line with TAG’s continuous platform enhancement initiative that focuses on providing customers the quickest possible access to emerging technologies for future-proof workflows.
NDI (Network Device Interface) enables TAG customers to build IP-based video networks without the associated complications, expense and performance requirements.
With support for NDI 5, the latest version of NDI, TAG customers can automatically discover and connect to a wide range of NDI sources from cameras and switchers to PCs, phones, tablets and video conferencing applications such as Skype.
Using NDI, TAG customers can capture the output from PCs making it simple to add websites, PC UIs and video conference participants as tiles on a TAG mosaic.
TAG also enables NDI as an output format, providing an inexpensive, low-latency and high-quality connection to display devices.
SRT (Secure Reliable Transport) is an open-source transport protocol that allows for robust transmission of high-quality high-bandwidth video signals over public internet, unmanaged networks and WANs, and similar networks with unpredictable performance.
With support for SRT, TAG customers can acquire signals from distant sources and transmit multiviewer mosaics to distant viewers, even at-home remote workers with SRT plugins for desktop monitoring.
