SipMX for NDI® Workflows
Your NDI® transport stays. You gain NMOS manageability.
The Challenge
NDI-compatible devices are widely deployed — cameras, encoders, graphics systems, PTZ controllers. But facilities that use both NDI-compatible gear and broadcast IP infrastructure (ST 2110, IPMX) often manage each ecosystem with separate tools. There is no built-in mechanism for centralized NMOS discovery, scheduled connection management, receiver health monitoring, or capability negotiation across both domains. And when NDI-compatible feeds need to reach remote sites, there is no standard WAN contribution path.
The Solution
SipMX brings NDI-compatible devices into the NMOS ecosystem — today via the SipMX Gateway (no changes to your devices), and tomorrow via the DeviceSDK for native integration. NDI-compatible cameras appear in the same crosspoint as ST 2110 routers and IPMX encoders. Route, monitor, and contribute streams alongside every other protocol, from a single interface. Gateway discovery and chained routing follow SIPMX-BCP-009-01.
What NDI® Users Gain
Centralized Routing
NDI-compatible cameras and decoders appear in the SipMX crosspoint alongside ST 2110, IPMX, and AES67 devices. Route any source to any destination from one matrix.
WAN Contribution via RIST
Send NDI-compatible feeds across the internet as RIST streams with ARQ error correction, AES encryption, and frame-accurate synchronization. No VPN required.
Receiver Health Monitoring
BCP-008-01 receiver status for NDI-compatible devices — packet loss, sync status, stream health — visible in the same dashboard as all other devices.
Audio + Video Muxing
Combine NDI-compatible camera video with AES67 console audio into a single RIST MPTS stream for unified WAN contribution.
For NDI® Users & Manufacturers
Whether you're a facility deploying NDI equipment or a manufacturer building NDI-compatible devices — there's a clear path into NMOS-managed workflows.
External Gateway
For facilities — deploy today, zero device changes
Deploy SipMX Gateway at your facility. It discovers NDI-compatible devices via mDNS and bridges them into NMOS workflows. Centralized routing, receiver monitoring, and RIST contribution — with zero changes to your NDI devices.
Embedded Gateway
For manufacturers — ship NMOS bridging inside your appliance
Bundle SipMX Gateway (with the DeviceSDK built in) directly inside your product. Your NDI-compatible camera or encoder ships with NMOS bridging out of the box — your customers don't need a separate gateway. NDI streams are translated to RIST internally, and the device registers as a full NMOS node. No firmware rewrite required.
Native DeviceSDK
For manufacturers — deepest integration, lowest latency
Integrate the SipMX DeviceSDK directly into your firmware (~20 lines of code). Your device becomes a native NMOS node — IS-04 discoverable, IS-05 routable, BCP-008-01 monitorable — with no translation layer. NDI is no longer in the picture: your device feeds media directly via UDP to the NMOS ecosystem. Lower latency and more robust than the embedded gateway approach because there is no protocol conversion at all.
SIPMX Certification
Premium positioning in the ecosystem
Pass SIPMX compliance testing, get listed in the certified device directory, and position your devices in the growing NMOS-managed ecosystem. Available for both embedded gateway and native DeviceSDK integrations.
NDI® Use Cases with SipMX
REMI Production
NDI-compatible cameras on-site at the venue, RIST contribution to the remote production truck. SipMX Core manages routing across both locations via federation.
Live Streaming
NDI-compatible sources from a production switcher, routed through SipMX Gateway to RIST for cloud relay, then re-streamed to streaming platforms via Cloud Stream.
Multi-Vendor Facilities
NDI-compatible cameras, ST 2110 routers, IPMX encoders, and AES67 audio devices — all visible in one crosspoint. Unified control for every protocol.
Houses of Worship
NDI-compatible PTZ cameras with AES67 audio mixing, unified in one control interface, RIST contribution to streaming platforms or satellite campuses.
