“Becoming a Crestron Integrated Partner marks a significant milestone for NDI,” said Charles Dobson, business development at NDI. “Crestron’s position as the market leader in pro AV, combined with their innovative PTZ camera line, positions us to drive forward the adoption of NDI technology and demonstrate how NDI’s capabilities enhance the quality and performance of Crestron’s ecosystem.”
Crestron’s 1 Beyond cameras and Automate VX solution are used with video conferencing platforms such as Microsoft Teams Rooms and Zoom Rooms software to level up the experience in meeting rooms of all sizes with clear, crisp intelligent video. By integrating NDI interfaces into its cameras, Creston simplifies the cabling for installation as a single ethernet cable can carry power, control, and video. For high profile or multi-purpose spaces that require a high camera count, NDI protocol ensures high-quality video with easy connectivity. Additionally, the integration significantly contributes to NDI’s ecosystem with uniquely capable camera products that are ready to be specified into any NDI workflow, fostering the adoption and standardization of best-of-breed technologies in pro AV. The integration of NDI features into Crestron’s products demonstrates the benefits of professional-grade tools and functionalities to their customers.
ProITAV Adds NDI to Portfolio of Technologies for Pro AV
NDI has partnered with ProITAV. ProITAV and the implementation support team at NDI will build several new products and enhance existing ones by adding NDI capabilities, including cameras, encoders, decoders, and AV switches.
“NDI is the sleeping giant when it comes to AV signal distribution,” said Dobson. “With the power of this technology in the hands of ProITAV, they will awaken the Pro AV market to NDI’s full potential with new designs that leverage the flexibility of this technology to enable simpler, lower cost solutions.”
