NDI Launches Free Five-Hour Developer Course; Focuses on IP Video Product Design

NDI's release of a free, in-depth developer course signals its commitment to expanding its ecosystem by lowering the barrier to entry for integrators and product teams. This move could accelerate the development of new NDI-compatible hardware and software, solidifying NDI's position as a prevalent IP video standard across various professional AV and broadcast applications. Industry participants should watch for an increase in new NDI-enabled product announcements and integrations, particularly in the pro AV and broadcast sectors, as more developers gain expertise.

NDI's initiative with the new developer course aligns with its broader efforts to bolster its developer community and product ecosystem. Ahead of InfoComm 2026, NDI Technical Director Roberto Musso is also scheduled to present an "Introduction to NDI Development" session, offering a practical hands-on approach for developers and integrators (Sports Video Group, May 2026). This complements the online course by providing an interactive, live introduction to building on NDI. Additionally, NDI recently launched NDI 6.3, a core tech update focused on advanced control and visibility for scaled video workflows (NDI.video, January 2026). This update enhances monitoring, secure Pro AV support with HDCP compatibility, and overall platform maturity, which developers integrating NDI will need to understand. The NDI Ecosystem Booth at InfoComm 2026 will showcase NDI 6.3 demos, including real-time stream insights and AI-ready metadata workflows, demonstrating practical applications for developers to consider in their product designs (Newswire.Telecomramblings.com, June 2026).
