AJA Bridge Live now supports NDI and HLS thanks to update 1.12

AJA Video Systems ha lanzado la versión 1.12 de Bridge Live, el cual lleva a la solución de vídeo en directo multicanal la compatibilidad con IS y salida para el protocolo HLS.

Bridge Live is a complete AJA system that enables workflows around remote production, two-way interviews, live event streaming, multi-camera backhaul, field contribution, collaborative production, and more. Its version 1.12 receives new features widely expected by the community such as bidirectional compatibility with IS, making it easy to encode SDI inputs for NDI output to the network and/or receive NDI for SDI output.

Likewise, the ability to transcode IP to NDI video streams and/or transcoding NDI inputs to IP video streams opens the door to a number of new workflows. For example, Bridge Live can now sit at the edge of an event network or NDI facility, allowing professionals to transport outgoing NDI video as a streaming format, and/or return the stream to NDI for use at a remote NDI production destination.

Nick Rashby, presidente de AJA Video Systems, considera que la última actualización de Bridge Live “aborda las principales peticiones de los clientes para agilizar las operaciones y proporcionar una mayor flexibilidad de flujo de trabajo en el campo”. Del mismo modo, Rashby destaca que “este es nuestro primer producto habilitado para NDI, y no podríamos estar más emocionados de llevar las capacidades únicas de Brdige Live a la enorme familia de usuarios de NDI en todo el mundo”. “Llevar la E/S NDI bidireccional y la salida HLS a BRIDGE LIVE ofrece a los profesionales una integración de hardware y software más amplia y una alternativa más sencilla y rentable a la hora de desplegar grandes equipos de personal y recursos en ubicaciones remotas”, concluye el ejecutivo.

• Bidirectional NDI-SDI conversion.
  • NDI reception and decoding to SDI
  • SDI to NDI input and encoding
• Bidirectional conversion of NDI-IP video streams.
  • Receive NDI and transcode to IP video streams (i.e. H.265, H.264)
  • Receive IP video streams (i.e. H.265, H.264) and transcode to NDI
  • Integrate NDI and non-NDI remote equipment/installations via RTP/UDP/SRT
  • Directly leverage the NDI network and provide a conduit to CDNs or other delivery mechanisms
• HLS Output (HD): Users can now input SDI sources and IP video streams into Bridge Live and encode them for sharing with mainstream devices and software, or by remote projection to iOS and iPadOS devices via HLS.
• Video Preview: With support for video preview thumbnails, now available in the Bridge Live GUI for SDI inputs, users can receive visual confirmation of correct SDI input/content encoding, even if you cannot “go live” to check the security of the content.
