NDI, the leading video connectivity standard for AV-over-IP, and Zoom, the AI-first collaboration platform, announce a strategic collaboration to integrate the NDI Advanced technologies across multiple Zoom product offerings. This collaboration empowers organizations to transform their meeting rooms, shared spaces, and event venues with flexible, high-quality video and audio connectivity.
With NDI-enabled within Custom AV for Zoom Rooms, enterprises can connect any NDI-compatible device or stream, such as cameras, displays, and other AV equipment directly into Zoom meetings. This integration supports multi-camera and multi-display setups, making it easy to implement advanced AV-over-IP workflows that facilitate creativity and collaboration for in-person and remote participants in various spaces – including hybrid auditoriums, all hands rooms, lecture halls, training spaces, corporate broadcast studios, large boardrooms, and more. The result of the NDI integration with Custom AV for Zoom Rooms is a seamless, immersive experience with minimal latency and maximum reliability.
NDI Advanced technologies will also bring new dynamic capabilities to Zoom’s Emmy Award-winning Zoom for Broadcast tools, giving virtual and hybrid event producers enhanced abilities to deliver broadcast-quality experiences that drive interactivity and engagement at scale. Popular event production apps in the Zoom Webinars and Events platform, for instance ZoomISO and Tiles for Zoom, will directly benefit from these powerful NDI features.
“The wide industry adoption of NDI technology and its plug-and-play approach makes AV-over-IP workflows more accessible than ever before across broadcast television, enterprise production, and content creation,” said Andy Carluccio, Head of Client Innovation, Zoom. “We are excited to integrate robust NDI Advanced technology inside key Zoom products, offering a seamless experience that unifies NDI’s impressive capabilities and product ecosystem with Zoom’s innovative collaboration platform.”
Unlocking immersive collaboration for enterprises
In an increasingly hybrid professional world, enterprises need technology that provides instant, high-quality connection that supports efficiency and productivity, but also genuinely engages those in the meeting. NDI offers a compelling alternative to traditional hardware connections with its software-driven, network-based, and plug-and-play connectivity. With NDI Advanced technology operating directly within Zoom’s versatile product offerings, meeting and event spaces are easier to adapt – from executive presentations to global webinars.
The widespread interoperability of the NDI standard enables teams and users to scale at their own pace, with confidence and security. Whether equipping a single meeting room or an entire campus, its IP-based standard, combined with Zoom’s trusted platform, allows organizations to adapt without costly extension technologies or complex installations.
“Network-based connectivity opens a whole new range of possibilities for video and audio workflows. Together with Zoom, NDI is bringing these new possibilities to collaboration set-up across the world – no matter the size of your organization,” noted Miguel Coutinho, Head of NDI.
Communications teams, content creators, and everyday users can bring multiple video and audio sources to the collaboration platform, supporting creative and interactive meetings for all purposes.
