ND Processing Engine is a modular infrastructure to facilitate migration of SDI to NDI workflows, and enable a new generation of NDI based facilities.  It replaces racks full of traditional SDI glue modules, commonly used for tasks such as scaling, bug insertion, audio embedding, de-embedding and mixing, plus other video and audio processing.

MULTIVIEWERS, VISION MIXER AND MORE

The system includes unlimited flexible multiviewers and a fully integrated vision mixer, an AI Mix automated Video Follows Audio Controller, and a Virtual Camera Crew for deriving PTZ regions of interest in a locked off UHD shot.  There is also the unique 'contribution manager' module which streamlines the process of managing lots of external live contribution feeds or guests, automatically controlling assignments of mix minus, intercom etc. HD, UHD, Vertical Portrait and Square Video Modes are supported in various modules.

INTERCOM

To complete your production workflow, ND Processing Engine also offers 4, 8 and 16 Channel Intercom modules, compatible with NDI, DANTE, and AES67 devices, plus analog audio via PCI/USB audio interfaces.  It also includes a server for the open source mumble intercom and a module to interface mumble NDI sources. The intercom forms a critical part of a remote commentary solution enabled by the NDI Processing Engine

IP PROTOCOL BRIDGES / CONTRIBUTION

It can also be used to bridge between other IP video formats, with modules to perform tasks including AES67, SRT H.264/AAC Video/Audio stream conversion to NDI and NDI restreaming as various IP Stream formats including as transport streams. The UNITE web browser based contribution system provides an easy uplink for anyone. A SMPTE 2110 ingest module connects to 2110 based sources. A range of recorders provides capture capabilities, supported by the IngestControl option for scheduled automation of capture.

NDI Router can also transparently route native MPEG Transport streams using the unique Sienna NDI Inferred Routing technology in the ND Processing Engine.

SRT INTEGRATION

ND Processing Engine also includes SRT transmit and receive modules to enable reliable transport of MPEG Transport Streams across continents between Processing Engine systems, as well as interchange between SRT and NDI. ND Processing Engine also supports the revolutionary NDI over SRT Protocol which carries native NDI and NDI HX2 streams over the SRT wrapper without transcoding or additional latency.

BROWSER CONTRIBUTION

ND Processing Engine includes the uniquely powerful and flexible UNITE browser based contribution system for assembling audiences, panels etc.

NDI Firewall - NDI  Infrastructure Bridging

ND Processing Engine features firewall / tieline modules which provide protected bridging of selected NDI streams between discreet closed network sections or locations.  NDI over SRT provides another layer of secure native NDI interconnect between remote systems.

ENGINEERING TOOLS

ND Processing Engine also includes signal generators and a wide range of scopes and monitors including waveform monitors, vectorscopes, and audio metering.  NDI Processing Engine has rich integration and API control for complex workflow monitoring, message flow processing integration with Node RED and other process automation. A 3DLUT module can perform HDR to SDR conversions and much more.
