Industry Reacts With Excitement to NDI® 5
Several major technology providers in the professional AV and broadcast industries have reacted with excitement to the NDI 5 announcement on Wednesday, June 2. NDI®, is a Vizrt Group brand and the world’s most widely adopted software-defined IP video standard. NDI 5 allows anyone to easily share live, high quality, low latency video with anyone else in real time, using billions of devices.
Further indication of excitement behind NDI 5 is highlighted by NDI’s limited time offer of 10,000 free downloads of the NDI®∣HX Camera app for smartphone users. The 10,000 free downloads were consumed in less than 2 hours on Wednesday following the announcement. NDI later announced that both the iOS and Android NDI∣HX Camera app will be 50% off (U$9.99) through June 16th, 2021.
NDI® 5 and Adobe® Creative Cloud® Remove All Physical Distance Between Video Editor and Playout
NDI®, a Vizrt Group brand, unveiled NDI version 5 – a true revolution in video storytelling that turns the whole world into your studio. From the planet’s largest broadcasters to billions of everyday smartphone users with a story to tell, NDI 5 makes it possible, for the first time in history, to connect to any device, in any location, anywhere in the world – and transmit live video to wherever you are. Physical studios can connect to ones in the cloud and remote video production effectively becomes local.
NDI for Adobe® Creative Cloud® enables editors and producers to bring Adobe Premiere® Pro into their local live productions’ workflows and collaboration for review and approval. With NDI 5, these workflows open up beyond the local area network so editors and artists can use NDI for live production and collaboration across multiple offices and locations – including their homes.
InGear Raises the Curtain on the LIVE! Interactive Virtual Event Platform for the Pro AV and Custom Install Markets
InGear today announced that it is now offering the LIVE! end-to-end interactive virtual event platform as a service to the pro-AV and custom-install markets. A dynamic, customizable, and economical alternative to conventional trade shows and conferences, LIVE! is a new kind of online experience designed to deliver everything people value about live events — real interactivity and meaningful engagement among participants — with a dedicated production team to handle all of the details, from event planning and promotion to post-event follow up and analytics.
“Even with the easing of COVID-19 restrictions, virtual events are here for the foreseeable future,” said Veronica Esbona, president of InGear. “For some, this may not seem like great news. After all, as a replacement for trade shows, conferences, or business meetings, video conferencing platforms have thus far been disappointing because they lack what people actually like about attending live events — the human connection. However, by enabling real interactivity among participants, that is exactly what LIVE! is designed to deliver. The result is the first virtual platform that puts people first, supported by a team dedicated to making every event a success.”

NDI®, a Vizrt Group brand, today unveiled NDI version 5 – a true revolution in video storytelling that turns the whole world into your studio. From the planet’s largest broadcasters to billions of smartphone users with a story to tell, NDI 5 makes it possible, for the first time in history, to connect to any device, in any location, anywhere in the world – allowing it to work with almost any video application in the world.

“NDI is designed to harness the massive creative potential of software and networks, allowing anyone to work with video – and have fun doing it. All devices in the world are already connected. Now with NDI 5, you can easily build shows and share video between them, for free,” said Dr. Andrew Cross, president of Research and Development for the Vizrt Group.
New Updates Available for all Waves SoundGrid Applications
Waves Audio, the world’s leading developer of professional audio signal processing technologies and plugins, announces new updates for all Waves SoundGrid® applications: the eMotion LV1 live mixer and the SuperRack plugin chainer for live sound processing, and the SoundGrid Studio and StudioRack applications for low-latency recording and mixing in the studio.

PreSonus Re-creates Retro Mix Legends with New Mix Engine Effects Plug-ins
PreSonus® is now shipping Retro Mix Legends, a collection of three Mix Engine Effects plug-ins for the company’s popular Studio One® Professional DAW. Retro Mix Legends is the followup to PreSonus’ groundbreaking CTC-1 Pro Console Shaper Mix Engine FX plug-ins, significantly expanding PreSonus’ Mix Engine Effects library. The three plug-ins—Alpine Desk, Brit Console, and Porta Cassette—may be purchased individually or as a bundle and are also included in a PreSonus Sphere membership.
Mix Engine FX is a plug-in paradigm exclusive to Studio One Professional that can subtly alter or completely transform Studio One’s native mix engine. In contrast to conventional plug-ins that must be inserted independently on each channel, with limited or no interaction between channels, activating a Mix Engine Effect on any bus in Studio One will simultaneously affect and cross-process all channels feeding that bus, using one plug-in. Thanks to State Space Modeling technology and the Mix Engine FX architecture, these plug-ins deliver thorough and true-to-life emulations of real hardware behavior, including inter-channel crosstalk, noise, drive, saturation, and character. Any bus, including the main stereo bus, can have its own Mix Engine FX assigned, allowing for limitless sonic possibilities.
Just Add Power Video-Over-IP Solutions Now Supported by Aveo Systems’ Mira Connect Smart AV Control System
Just Add Power, a leader in video-over-IP distribution, today announced that its leading video-over-IP distribution solutions are now supported by Aveo Systems’ Mira Connect smart AV control system. Ideal for applications of any size, this integration simplifies control setup for integrators while providing users with intuitive operation of a Just Add Power system and associated displays and sources via a touch-screen controller or their own personal devices.
Unlike traditional control systems, Mira Connect requires no programming. It is easily configured and managed through Mira Portal, Aveo’s secure, cloud-based management platform. The user interface is automatically created based on integrated components, while built-in remote management and equipment status notifications allow integrators and remote IT teams to control the system from their browsers. For users who prefer not to use a shared touch screen or would like control from anywhere in the room, Aveo’s patent-pending Mira Connect Me™ allows them to access Mira Connect’s user interface temporarily on their mobile devices.

“When we introduced our free Android and Apple apps years ago, we wanted to provide customers with the same convenience we offered in our browser-based interface, but in a mobile format. As we’ve continued to add new functionality to the GUI and expand our lineup of AVL power control solutions, we’ve had a surge of customers requesting the same app features for their Android devices as we’ve built into our more recent Apple app,” said Mark Bishop, President of LynTec. “This upgrade delivers on our continuous commitment to serve our customers and answer their needs with robust, flexible solutions that allow them to control their AVL assets at the system, zone, and circuit level, with or without third-party controllers.”
