NewTek Connect Pro Now Supporting 4K SDI to NDI® With Bluefish444
Bluefish444 SDI cards send and receive 4K NDI video and audio over IP to support interconnected production workflows with NewTek Connect Pro
The collaboration between Bluefish444 and NewTek enables input and output of SDI video signals up to 4K 60p as part of an NDI-based IP workflow. This allows Bluefish444 installations globally to implement interconnected, Ultra HD production workflows comprised of SDI and IP-based technologies. The latest NewTek Connect Pro update also coincides with the release of NDI version 3.
NewTek Connect Pro is a software application that runs on a standard Windows PC to serve video across a network, to and from hundreds of compatible systems and devices for switching, streaming, display, and distribution.
NDI, a royalty-free enabling technology for IP live production workflows developed by NewTek, allows multiple video systems to identify and communicate with one another over IP, and to encode, transmit, and receive many streams of high quality, low latency, frame-accurate video and audio in real time.
“Bluefish444 have been fortunate to work closely with the team at NewTek to ensure that the support for Bluefish444 video I/O cards performs at its best”
“With affordable access to 4K 60p video signals using Bluefish444 SDI inputs and outputs and NewTek Connect Pro, interconnected production workflows become that much more advantageous to conventional installations”
Tom Lithgow, Product Manager, Bluefish444
“IP is changing the way professionals view video production, including 4K”
“Bluefish444 is highly respected both at NewTek and within the industry, and their NDI 4K integration with NewTek Connect Pro presents NDI customers with compelling new opportunities in implementing the highest quality IP workflows”
Michael Kornet, Executive Vice President and General Manager of NDI, NewTek
All Bluefish444 Epoch video cards are compatible with NewTek Connect Pro for single or multi-channel SDI input and output, with the Bluefish444 Epoch | 4K Neutron and Epoch | 4K Supernova S+ ranges supporting resolutions of up to 4K at 60fps.
Bluefish444 Announces ingeSTore Server 3G Appliance
Up to four streams of compressed or uncompressed 3G/HD/SD-SDI capture in a 3RU server
IngeSTore Server 3G is a pre-configured 3RU ingest solution, capable of up to four channels of 3G/HD/SD-SDI compressed or uncompressed capture to networked shared storage, utilising the Bluefish444 Epoch | 4K Supernova S+ video I/O card.
IngeSTore Server 3G ships with Bluefish444 IngeSTore software; Bluefish444’s free multi-channel capture application. IngeSTore captures multiple simultaneous channels of 3G/HD/SD-SDI to popular media file formats for archive, edit, encoding or analysis. It drives efficiency in the digitisation workflow by enabling multiple simultaneous recordings from VTR’s, cameras and any other SDI source.
With dual Intel XEON CPUs, 32GB RAM and a 4GB NVIDIA GPU, IngeSTore Server 3G can capture files in a range of codecs via IngeSTore software. Uncompressed, DV, DVCPro, and DVCPro HD codecs are included free, with additional licences available for XDCAM, DNxHD, JPEG 2000, AVCi and other industry standard video codecs.
IngeSTore Server 3G includes an ATTO dual 10Gb Network Interface Card, providing integration with existing network storage architectures. IngeSTore is able to save recorded video files directly to network-connected storage, which are then available across all networked systems.
“We are pleased to announce the IngeSTore Server 3G appliance”
“This turnkey system allows for quick and easy integration into many video workflows requiring multi-channel SDI Ingest, and eliminates the concern of system specifications and performance for system integrators, worldwide”
