Vizrt NC2 Studio I/O Module in Tapes & Digital Media

Bridge your NDI infrastructure with SDI and NDI I/O streams using the NC2 Studio I/O Module from NewTek. Route up to eight channels of SDI video across your network to transmit and receive SD, HD, or UHD 4K video in a studio environment.

Eight HD-BNC terminals can connect to video sources, audio sources, decks, or monitors, and can each be configured for input or output. You can configure the NC2 to input or output up to eight 3G-SDI, two 12G-SDI with four 3G-SDI, or any other I/O configuration you need. It supports color correction on each channel with professional imaging controls, multi-format processing, and Dante, AES, ASIO, and WDM audio with your existing drivers and licenses.

Since the module only needs to attach to your network, you can deploy multiple modules in different locations inside your network, instantly integrating that location into your production. Its 10 Gb/s Ethernet port can easily support high-quality video streams in an NDI environment. Multiview video can also be locally displayed via USB Type-C. This unit mounts in a standard 19" equipment rack, so you can add more units for a greater number of inputs and outputs at a given location.

Key Features

Dynamic I/O Configuration

System can be configured as 8 x 3G-SDI, 2 x 12G-SDI with 4 x 3G-SDI, or a wide range between. Independently configure each channel for resolutions up to 2160p at 60 frames per second.

8-Channel Recording

Simultaneously record up to 8 SDI inputs; combine with NewTek's Network Remote Storage for the optimal power and adaptability.

Built for NDI

Supporting 10 Gb/s Ethernet, the NC2 I/O Module is ideally placed for use in high-speed networking environments such as broadcast workflows and is perfect for NDI traffic. Built to work with NDI 5, NC2 I/O supports all the latest and upcoming features.

Adapts to any Workflow

NC2 I/O is a powerful, adaptable solution offering IP flexibility while making use of existing SDI equipment and infrastructure. Audio integration provides adaptable workflows through connection with USB and network-based audio drivers (DANTE/AES67/ASIO/WDM). Management and control of each channel can be harnessed locally, through integrated NDI KVM technology, or a web-based API.

Color Correction

Independently adjust the color characteristics of each channel, manually configuring brightness, contrast, hue, saturation, white balance, and more with integrated proc amp controls, or optionally enable automatic color matching between channels.

Configurable A/V Sources

Independently configure the video and audio for each channel, selecting from any source accessible to your Studio I/O Module.

Multi-Format Processing

Accept and deliver video in any combination of compatible formats, with resolution and frame rate configurable per channel.

Multiviewer

Monitor a single source or multiple live signals with selectable workspace layouts and customizable viewports.

NDI KVM

Access the user interface and control your Studio I/O Module remotely from any compatible computer, device, or touchscreen connected to the same network.

Professional Audio

Present high-quality sound, with flexible audio integration to include comprehensive support for Dante, AES67, and ASIO sound devices.

Rackmount Chassis

Industry-standard 1 RU rackmount chassis integrates into any professional production environment, setup, or workflow.

Redundant Power

Safeguard module availability with 550W redundant power supplies.

Video Servers

Optionally configure each channel for stored media playback, with extensive file format support, on-screen transport controls, and autoplay setting.

Waveform and Vectorscope

Calibrate and monitor video signals for broadcast compliance and viewing quality with built-in waveform and vectorscope displays.

Grab

Grab full-resolution still images of channel video for real-time use, postproduction activities, or archive.

Hardware Destination

Direct the video and audio output from the designated channel to a specific SDI connector on the module backplane, or other supported devices where applicable.

Network Source Support

Optionally configure other network sources for input with support for real-time conversion and transmission of common IP video stream formats to include SRT, RTMP, RTSP, and HTTP.

Recording

Capture native-resolution video from one, multiple, or all channels to network attached storage.

Remote Access

Monitor live signals and control your Studio I/O Module remotely from the browser of any networked device, including iOS and Android mobile devices, with a system-specific webpage.
