Vizrt Group initiates future-facing NDI Advisory Board 

Vizrt Group has created the inaugural NDI Advisory Board, designed to harness the combined experience of a panel of experts to support and steer NDI as its adoption grows beyond the media & entertainment market. Michael Hallén, CEO of Vizrt Group, and Dr Andrew Cross, inventor of NDI and CEO of Grass Valley (pictured), are the founding members.

Currently, the NDI Advisory Board is recruiting four additional board members from a diverse range of disciplines and industries, including culture, academia and science to complete the group. Building on the rapid growth in adoption of NDI in the media and entertainment industries, the Advisory Board will assist in pioneering new frontiers for NDI.

“Building on the fast-paced adoption rate in the media & entertainment space, the NDI Advisory Board has been set up to ensure NDI’s growth continues to support the democratisation of video for anyone as it grows into new arenas,” said Hallén.

Cross added: “I am eager to see how NDI develops in the future. IP video is going to become even more critical, not just in broadcast and production, but to many new markets we have yet to explore. I believe NDI is the best technology to drive such far-reaching change.”

2022 has seen a quickening of pace for NDI development with the release of NDI|HX3 in January, adding even more flexibility to the low latency, reduced bandwidth variants of NDI. NDI 5.5 is also expected later this year.
