The Pro Convert family easily and reliably converts video signals such as HDMI and SDI into NDI streams. These NDI streams will be available to all NDI-compatible software and systems on the same network regardless of physical distance, ensuring high-quality, low-latency, IP-based live production experiences superior to traditional live production solutions.
Pro Convert devices automatically detect your network and the video input signal format, with no manual network configuration nor source format selection needed. Plug in the cables, and it just works!
Simply connect a Pro Convert device to your existing video source to make your production workflow IP-enabled. The converter provides a loop-through interface so you can still connect your source to the same subsequent video equipment without affecting your original workflow, minimizing cost and integration effort.
Computers in the same LAN can access the video camera connected to the Pro Convert. Users can remotely control the pan/tilt/zoom movement of the video camera using the PTZ control function. Preset positions can be set for convenient control.
