Lawo Expands NDI Support With Advanced Capabilities And NDI6 Integration In HOME Apps

Lawo, a global technology today announced an expansion of its NDI support within the Lawo HOME Apps family. This includes the addition of NDI Advanced capabilities as well as future support of the latest NDI 6 technology.

The company says Lawo HOME Apps already offered comprehensive support for the entire NDI ecosystem, including the NDI High Bandwidth, NDI HX, and NDI HX3 formats. This allows users to seamlessly integrate a wide range of NDI-enabled devices, including cameras, converters, video mixers, graphics systems, and capture cards, into their production workflows.

More importantly, the Lawo HOME Apps now also support multichannel audio transmission via NDI, enabling users to leverage the full potential of NDI with its latest Lawo HOME App family member — the HOME mc² DSP app.

In addition to these expanded NDI capabilities, Lawo also announced support for the latest update, NDI 6, by the HOME Apps family, which will become available in a future software release. NDI 6 introduces several key enhancements, including 10-bit color depth and support for High-Dynamic-Range (HDR) video.

Phil Myers, Lawo chief technology officer, says: “Lawo’s aim with its expanding HOME Apps offering is to put broadcasters firmly in the driver’s seat by allowing them to select the production tools they require to tell compelling stories from the largest possible pool of options. The addition of advanced NDI support and NDI 6 integration is a testament to our commitment to providing our customers with the most flexible and future-proof production solutions.”

“The decision to expand support for NDI shows how leaders in live production solutions like LAWO are enthusiastic about the NDI 6 core update and its benefits for professional broadcast and beyond,” says Charles Steinkuehler, NDI director of technology. “We are thrilled to welcome LAWO to the NDI Advanced family and look forward to witnessing what their customers can achieve with the full power of our connectivity technology.
