Local production on LAN has greatly benefited from the invention of NDI that empowers its users with high quality video, ability to work with a mix of media, and even SDI replacement. Designed for LAN deployment, the bitrate output of NDI is high, going up to 400mbps for 4K video, hence not ideal for delivery over the internet. Its native TCP protocol is prone to long distance latencies, due to its acknowledgement- based (ACK) nature, further limiting NDI benefits to be extended beyond LAN.
Caton NDI Gateway unlocks the full potential of NDI by enabling NDI transmission over WAN, allowing even remote workforce to collaborate seamlessly with locally deployed NDI setups.
