Studio I/O Module Features
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.
Dynamic I/O Configuration
The 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.
8 Channel Recording
Simultaneously record up to 8 SDI inputs; combine with NewTek’s Network Remote Storage for 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.
1 Compatible audio drivers and/or virtual sound card licenses required (sold separately)
Color Correction
Independently adjust the color characteristics of each channel, manually configuring brightness, contrast, hue, saturation, white balance, and more with integrated proc amp controls, or optionally enable automatic color matching between channels.
Configurable A/V Sources
Independently configure the video and audio for each channel, selecting from any source accessible to your Studio I/O Module.
Multi-Format Processing
Accept and deliver video in any combination of compatible formats, with resolution and frame rate configurable per channel.
Multiviewer
