Adding NDI is another step in our strategic commitment to offer IT friendly AV solutions, making Pearl-2 a smarter choice for enterprise communications, lecture capture, and anyone who wants to use their existing Ethernet infrastructure for AV.

NDI transports broadcast quality video with low latency over Gigabit Ethernet networks. No extra HDMI or SDI cables required.
