Luxstream starts development of remote studio with NDI® 5
With the release of NDI® 5, Luxstream has started development of a remote studio system based on the digital video infrastructure from NDI. Thanks to the new capabilities of NDI® 5, especially NDI bridge, we will be able to produce City council meetings externally by bringing in audio and videofeeds from equipped meeting rooms to our remote studios where we operate cameras, manage audio and live stream the session to viewers. This remote studio will be the first of its kind in Luxembourg and will be used for cost-effective and flexible off-site live video production.

NDI® 5 Moves Video & Audio Anywhere In The World – For Free
—The world’s most widely adopted software-defined IP video standard now allows anyone to easily share live, high quality, low latency video with anyone else in real time, using billions of devices—
SAN ANTONIO, TX—June 2, 2021—NDI®, a Vizrt Group brand, today unveiled NDI version 5 – a true revolution in video storytelling that turns the whole world into your studio. From the planet’s largest broadcasters to billions of smartphone users with a story to tell, NDI 5 makes it possible, for the first time in history, to connect to any device, in any location, anywhere in the world – allowing it to work with almost any video application in the world. Physical studios can connect to ones in the cloud and remote video production effectively becomes local.
“NDI is designed to harness the massive creative potential of software and networks, allowing anyone to work with video – and have fun doing it. All devices in the world are already connected. Now with NDI 5, you can easily build shows and share video between them, for free,” said Dr. Andrew Cross, president of Research and Development for the Vizrt Group.
NDI Bridge New to the NDI Tools free download with NDI 5 is NDI Bridge. Forming a secure bridge between any NDI network regardless of location, NDI Bridge redefines the concept of ‘remote workflows,’ opening up a wealth of new opportunities for live video production.
NDI Remote Also new to NDI Tools, NDI Remote allows anyone using just a URL to contribute live audio and video using an Internet-connected device, like a camera phone or a web browser, to another point anywhere in the world. NDI Remote allows anyone, anywhere to contribute to a show – big or small.
The benefits of NDI’s optimized codec and transport protocols provide unparalleled ease of use across existing networks. Other selected benefits of NDI 5 are:
- NDI Audio Direct: Provides seamless integration of NDI audio into software-based audio workflows, be they across a local network, in the cloud or hybrid, setting your production free from the limitations of hardware audio mixers
- Reliable UDP: As part of NDI’s mission to make video easier everywhere, RUDP transfer makes WAN and WiFi connections more resilient with less configuration required
- Apple Support: Full support for Apple silicon systems, bringing full NDI capability to all macOS, iOS, tvOS and iPadOS devices for the first time
- Improved Adobe Premiere and Final Cut Pro support: Adobe Premiere and After Effects plugin now features improved audio workflow. Updated plug-in allows output for Final Cut Pro with real-time audio and video frame buffer output
- And Much More: Many other benefits are available, including support for genlock – even remotely, selection of network adapters, and more
