NDI®, part of the Vizrt Group, today announced that it would immediately make available its new NDI®|HX Capture for iOS and its NDI®|HX Camera for iOS applications for free for the next 60 days. This move comes in response to an increase in mobile game streaming and a worldwide shortage of quality web cameras. These applications, used in conjunction with the free NDI® Tools software, enable the convenient creation of content, be that the action from a mobile game or live video in broadcast quality. Both apps are available now for download from the Apple iOS App Store and normally retail at $10 and $20 respectively.

Michael Hallén, CEO of the Vizrt Group said, “Our customers are the world’s storytellers and right now, unfortunately there is one story that is dominating our lives. Like everyone else, our customers are being impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak and are having to overcome the challenges of staffing shortages and lockdowns. Making these two NDI-powered apps available to all who need them makes it easier for the world’s storytellers to keep us all better informed.”
