for digital video.
●NDI: Network Device interface (NDI) is a software standard developed by NewTek to enable
video-compatible products to communicate, deliver, and receive broadcast quality video in a high quality, low
latency manner that is frame-accurate and suitable for switching in a live production environment over TCP
(UDP) Ethernet based networks. NDI is commonly found in broadcast applications.
●RTMP: Real-Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP) was initially a proprietary protocol developed by Macromedia
(now Adobe) for streaming audio, video and data over the Internet, between a Flash player and a server.
●RTSP: The Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) is a network control protocol designed for use in
entertainment and communications systems to control streaming media servers. The protocol is used for
establishing and controlling media sessions between end points.
●MPEG: Moving Picture Experts Group is a working group formed from ISO and IEC developing standards
that allow audio/video digital compression and Transmission.
●H.264: Also known as AVC (Advanced Video Coding) or MPEG-4i is a common video compression standard.
H.264 was standardized by the ITU-T Video Coding Experts Group (VCEG) together with the ISO/IEC JTC1
Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG).
●H.265: Also known as HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding )H.265 is the successor to the widely used
H.264/AVC digital video coding standard. Developed under the auspices of ITU, resolutions up to 8192x4320
may be compressed.
●API: An Application Programming Interface (API) provides a predefined function which allows access
capabilities andfeaturesorroutines viaa software or hardware, without accessing source code or
understanding the details of inner working mechanism. An API call may execute a function and/or provide
datafeedback/report.
●DMX512: The communication standard developed by USITT for entertainment and digital lighting
systems.The wide adoption of the Digital Multiplex (DMX) protocol has seen the protocol used for a wide
range of other devices including video controllers. DMX512 is delivered over cable of 2 twisted pairs with 5pin
XLR cables for connection.
●ArtNet: An ethernet protocol based on TCP/IP protocol stack, mainly used in entertainment/events
applications. Built on the DMX512 data format, ArtNet enables multiple "universes" of DMX512 to be
transmitted using ethernet networks for transport.
●MIDI: MIDI is the abbreviation of Musical Instrument Digital Interface. As the name indicates the protocol
was developed for communication between electronical musical instruments and latterly computers. MIDI
instructions are triggers or commands sent over twisted pair cables, typically using 5pin DIN connectors.
