NDI Partners: AWS Integration Takes Center Stage

In response to industry demand, AWS is integrating NDI support into its Elemental MediaConnect service, providing seamless, high-quality IP video transport. This marks a pivotal moment for cloud-based production workflows, enabling broadcasters, streaming platforms, and enterprise users to leverage NDI natively within AWS.

AWS will be demonstrating NDI support in AWS Elemental MediaConnect in multiple places at NAB in the West Hall, including the Live Cloud Production on AWS from the West Hall lobby, which will be monitored and controlled by a production control room in AWS booth (W1701). Be sure to visit the AWS Elemental demo pods to dive deep on AWS Elemental MediaConnect and NDI in the cloud.

NDI Metadata Lab: The Future of Metadata Standards

As NDI expands beyond video and audio transport, the NDI Metadata Lab invites developers, broadcasters, and technology partners to submit, test, and standardize metadata proposals. This initiative will accelerate industry-wide metadata standardization, unlocking new possibilities for automation, interactivity, and control in NDI-based workflows. NDI has already published several critical metadata standards that address the specific needs of the industry, including:

• PTZ Control
• Tally
• KVM
• CEA-708 & SCTE-104
• MIDI
• DMX
• Timed Text Captions

The published metadata standards have received significant feedback from users, praising them for enabling seamless automation, control, and integration across NDI-based systems.

Organizers, developers, and users are invited to submit their proposals. The NDI technical team will review, refine, and publish proposals that are tested and accepted as official NDI metadata standards.
