APPENDIX B: NDI

(NETWORK DEVICE INTERFACE)
For some, the first question may be “What is NDI?” In a nutshell, Network Device Interface (NDI) technology
is a new open standard for live production IP workflows over Ethernet networks. NDI allows systems and
devices to identify and communicate with each other, and to encode, transmit, and receive high quality, low
latency, frame-accurate video and audio over IP in real time.
NDI enabled-devices and software have the potential to greatly enhance your video production pipeline, by
making video input and output available anywhere your network runs. NewTek’s live video production
systems and a growing number of third party systems provide direct support for NDI, both for ingest and
output. Although NC1 IO provides many other useful features, it is purpose designed primarily to turn SDI
sources into NDI signals.

APPENDIX C: DIMENSIONS AND MOUNTING
NC1 IO is designed for convenient mounting in a standard 19” rack (mounting rails are available separately
from NewTek Sales). The unit comprises a 1 Rack Unit (RU) chassis supplied with ‘ears’ designed to permit
mounting in standard 19” rack architecture.
FIGURE 32
The units weigh nearly 14 pounds (6.35 KG). A shelf or rear support will distribute the load more evenly if
rack-mounted. Good front and rear access is important for convenience in cabling should be considered.
In view of the top panel vents on the chassis, at least one RU should be allowed above these systems for
ventilation and cooling. Please keep in mind that adequate cooling is a very important requirement for
