NDI Bridge

NDI® Bridge is a tool designed for sharing NDI® video sources beyond a local area network (LAN) using the Wide Area Network (WAN), also known as the “Public Internet.” NDI® Bridge was released in 2021 with the NDI® 5.0 toolset, along with NDI® Remote and Audio Direct tools. Until NDI® Bridge was released, many video productions used NDI® only for LAN video traffic and relied on technologies such as Secure Reliable Transport (SRT) or video communication solutions like Zoom to transport video over the public internet. NDI® 5.0 supports a technology called Reliable User Datagram Protocol (RUDP) which is a point-to-point video transport protocol that allows for high-quality video transport over public networks.

The NDI® Bridge has three main components that allow users to advertise and transport NDI® video over the WAN. First, users can set up their Host connection. The Host connection allows others to join the NDI® Bridge that is set-up on one side of the connection. Here, you can select a group of NDI® sources to be transported over the WAN to a receiving location anywhere in the world. You will learn more about setting up groups of NDI® sources with Access Manager in the next chapter. Using NDI® Groups, the NDI® Bridge can send an entire group of NDI® HB or NDI HX® video sources together over the public internet.

NDI® Bridge does require a public IP address and an open port to operate properly. You can request a public IP address through your Internet Service Provider (ISP). Ports for video traffic can be created through the router connected to the WAN. Once the public IP address and open port are set up, a host connection can be accessed through the public internet.
