It supports 12G-SDI, 10 Gigabit Ethernet and NDI 6, which makes it a central conversion point for broadcast studios and IP production facilities. Vizrt describes it as its most advanced studio module, adding recording, media playback, multiviewers and video scopes on top of conversion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow does the Vizrt VCSTUDIOI\/O Viz Connect Studio I\/O work?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Viz Connect Studio I\/O bridges existing SDI infrastructure and an NDI network. Its dynamic I\/O can be configured as 8 x 3G-SDI, 2 x 12G-SDI with 4 x 3G-SDI, or combinations in between, with SD through UHD support including quad-link grouping and 6G-SDI, all on HD-BNC connectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn the IP side it accepts NDI, SRT, RTMP and RTSP sources and outputs NDI and SDI, so a remote SRT feed can land on an SDI router or an SDI camera can appear on the NDI network for a TriCaster. A 10GBASE-T NIC carries high-bandwidth NDI traffic, with an additional 2.5 GbE and 1 GbE port.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach channel can record SDI inputs and play back media files, and integrated waveform and vectorscope monitoring, LTC\/VITC timecode and genlock support make it suitable for broadcast engineering work. Per-channel proc amp color correction adjusts brightness, contrast, hue, saturation and white balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAudio rides embedded in SDI and NDI, with Dante, AES67 and ASIO support available through compatible audio drivers (sold separately). Management is available locally, through integrated NDI KVM, or via a web-based API.
