Press Release – Rascular embraces NewTek’s NDI® IP protocol with new RouteMaster-Lite


Northampton, UK – 22nd February 2018 – Rascular, software designers of PC-based and web panel device control and media management systems, has announced that it has embraced NewTek’s NDI® video-over-IP protocol, recognising its importance to the future of compressed video transport and has launched its first compatible product: RouteMaster-Lite. RouteMaster-Lite will be on show at BVE 2018 on the DigiBox stand – M44.

As NewTek says, “NewTek NDI® is a royalty free standard anyone can implement to connect video equipment across a network.” In essence, it’s a compressed IP format that allows the use of a standard Ethernet network. It’s already clear that there’s a considerable range of NDI®-compliant products on the market. Newtek says, “It’s a bi-directional standard, not only enabling you to share video and audio over IP, but to send and receive multiple input and output signals between devices on your network—making a completely connected facility entirely possible”.

Rascular’s first product to embrace the protocol is RouteMaster-Lite, a standalone, PC-based, single licence application. This is based on Rascular’s powerful RouteMaster technology and is designed to provide comprehensive router control for NDI® sources up to maximum 20×20 router size.

Particularly applicable in the production sector, with OB units a prime example, RouteMaster-Lite works in three key ways to present operators working in an NDI® environment with familiar, and therefore easy-to-use, router control interfaces. It: virtualises the NDI® source and destination devices (the IP addresses) in the system making them sources and destinations on a virtual NDI® router; it then allows full router source/destination control via a web panel that will be familiar to operators; and it also provides control via hardware router control panels (AJA Kumo and BlackMagic).

Roddy Pratt, Technical Director with Rascular, says, “NDI® is a powerful compressed video-over-IP protocol with a strong product ecosystem developing around it. But what’s crucial for operators working in a pressurised production environment is that they are presented with a familiar, easy-to-use, router control/tally interface – be that hardware or software-based – that they can use to select sources and destinations in the heat of the moment. That’s what RouteMaster-Lite allows. They don’t want to be looking at IP addresses or web pages. Of course, we are developing additional products that also embrace NDI®.”
