Latin America. AJA Video Systems released Bridge Live v1.12, a new software update for the turnkey multi-channel live video solution for remote production, contribution, collaboration, streaming and delivery.
The version includes NDI bidirectional input, output and transcoding; HLS output; video preview; and UI updates for more intuitive setup.
Whether it's to facilitate remote production, two-way interviews, live event streaming, multi-camera backhaul, field contribution, program return, trusted monitoring, collaborative production, or ABR ladder profiles to deliver for OTT packaging, BRIDGE LIVE v1.12 offers powerful new functionality. Bidirectional NDI support makes it easy to encode SDI inputs for NDI output to the network and/or NDI reception for SDI output.
The ability to also transcode IP video streams to NDI and/or transcode NDI inputs to IP video streams allows for a host of new workflow possibilities. For example, BRIDGE LIVE can now be located at the edge of an NDI event or a network of facilities, allowing professionals to transport outgoing NDI video as a format that can be streamed and/or returned to NDI for use on a remote NDI production destination.
"Bridge Live v1.12 marks AJA's second major software update to the device since the product launch less than a year ago and addresses customers' key feature requests to streamline operations and provide greater workflow flexibility in the field. This is our first NDI-enabled product, and we couldn't be more excited to bring Bridge Live's unique capabilities to NDI's wide range of users around the world. The addition of bidirectional I/O and HLS output to Bridge Live offers professionals broader hardware and software integration and a simpler and more cost-effective alternative to deploying large teams of personnel and resources in remote locations," shared Nick Rashby, President of AJA.
