NDI and Zoom announced a strategic collaboration to integrate NDI Advanced technologies across multiple Zoom product offerings, expanding options for video and audio connectivity in meeting rooms, shared spaces and event venues.
The collaboration enables NDI functionality within Custom AV for Zoom Rooms, allowing organizations to connect NDI-compatible devices and streams directly into Zoom meetings. Supported devices include cameras, displays and other AV equipment, enabling multi-camera and multi-display setups using NDI-enabled, network-based connectivity.
NDI said the integration supports advanced AV-over-IP workflows for a range of environments, including hybrid auditoriums, lecture halls, training spaces, corporate broadcast studios and large boardrooms. The integration is intended to support in-person and remote participants with flexible, high-quality video and audio connectivity.
NDI Advanced technologies will also be integrated into Zoom for Broadcast tools, including applications used in Zoom Webinars and Events. ZoomISO and Tiles for Zoom are among the tools expected to benefit from the added NDI capabilities, supporting more flexible production workflows for virtual and hybrid events.
“The wide industry adoption of NDI technology and its plug-and-play approach makes AV-over-IP workflows more accessible than ever before across broadcast television, enterprise production, and content creation,” says Andy Carluccio, Head of Client Innovation, Zoom. “We are excited to integrate robust NDI Advanced technology inside key Zoom products, offering a seamless experience that unifies NDI’s impressive capabilities and product ecosystem with Zoom’s innovative collaboration platform.”
The widespread interoperability of the NDI standard enables organizations to scale deployments at their own pace using IP-based connectivity.
“Network-based connectivity opens a whole new range of possibilities for video and audio workflows. Together with Zoom, NDI is bringing these new possibilities to collaboration set-up across the world – no matter the size of your organization,” says Miguel Coutinho, Head of NDI.
NDI and Zoom said the collaboration is intended to support communications teams, content creators and enterprise users by enabling multiple video and audio sources to be integrated into meetings and events using IP-based workflows.
