Why Do I Need a Network Switch in an NDI Workflow?
You need a network switch for an NDI production workflow because it acts as a central hub that connects all your NDI-enabled devices, such as cameras, computers, and production equipment, together.
- Connect Devices: Links cameras, computers, and production gear together.
- Smooth Data Sharing: Ensures easy sharing of video and audio data.
- Organized Workflow: Helps in managing devices for a smooth production process.
- Real-Time Collaboration: Enables instant collaboration between devices.
