Vizrt NC2 Studio I/O Module

The Vizrt NC2 Studio I/O Modules offer the flexibility to outfit studios, facilities, or infrastructures not only for their current production needs but also those of the future; thanks to it using versatile functionality ranging from NDI, SDI to IP video conversion by I/O channel expansion, to 4K UHD connectivity and IP interoperability. From connecting established and emerging technologies, to expanding the quantity and type of available inputs and outputs, to linking locations across your network, NewTek NC2 Studio I/O Modules are powerful, versatile, and fully turnkey systems made for IP video production workflows.

More Than Conversion

NC2 Studio I/O Module offers support for 12G-SDI and 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity; it seamlessly connects multiple video and audio formats including NDI, SDI, and other IP formats. This solution is far more than conversion; offering SDI signal capture, media file playback, selectable multi-viewers, and professional video scopes. 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.

Essential Studio Functionality

Be confident in your presentation with local monitoring and management tools to include a dedicated multiviewer with selectable workspace layouts and customizable viewports, integrated waveform and vectorscope displays, and precision color correction capabilities.

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 10Gb Ethernet, the NC 2 Studio I/O 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, NC 2 I/O supports all the latest and upcoming features.

Adapts to any workflow

NC 2 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).¹ Management and control of each channel can be harnessed locally, through integrated NDI KVM technology, or a web-based API.
