Ethernet and WiFi SDI to NDI converter: Newtek Spark SDI

The transition to IP-based video architectures requires reliable and high-performance conversion tools. The Newtek Spark-SDI converter, offered for rent by A-Loc Audiovisuel, is a compact interface designed to instantly transform any traditional 3G-SDI video source into a high-quality NDI-HX network stream. This encoding technology allows the video signal, accompanied by its audio stream, to be distributed over a standard Ethernet local area network or even via a WiFi connection, thus offering unprecedented freedom of placement for your cameras and video sources during trade shows or conventions. The unit incorporates a loop-through SDI output to maintain local monitoring without dividing the signal. Beyond its transmission function, the Spark-SDI stands out for its standalone recording capability. Thanks to its SD card and USB ports, it is possible to capture the video stream directly in MPEG-TS or MP4 formats, offering an invaluable security backup solution directly at the source. It is the ideal accessory for easily expanding the capabilities of a modern software control room.
