The VeCASTER PRO SDI gives broadcast SDI infrastructure the two protocols modern production depends on. NDI exposes the SDI feed as a discoverable source for vMix, OBS, and TriCaster, while SRT delivers encrypted, error-corrected, low-latency video across the open internet. Selectable HEVC and H.264 plus dual streams complete the package.
SDI IPTV Encoder · NDI + SRT
Broadcast SDI, Production-Ready Over IP
Bring 3G-HD-SDI cameras and switchers into NDI production workflows and push secure SRT contribution over the internet — from one rugged hardware encoder.
Capabilities

FAQ
VeCASTER PRO SDI — FAQ
Why use NDI from an SDI source?
NDI turns your SDI camera or switcher feed into a discoverable network source for vMix, OBS, and TriCaster — so production tools see it instantly over ethernet, with no capture cards.
What does SRT add for remote work?
SRT encrypts and error-corrects the stream, keeping it broadcast-quality and low-latency across the public internet for remote contribution and backhaul.
Can it do production and IPTV at once?
Yes. Output NDI to the studio LAN, SRT to a remote site, and HLS/RTMP/multicast to your IPTV system and CDN simultaneously.
HEVC or H.264?
Both run at once — efficient HEVC for bandwidth and universal H.264 for compatibility, from the same SDI feed.
How do I receive it for broadcast?
Use our VePLAYER SDI decoder to return IP to 3G-HD-SDI embedded, or the standard VePLAYER for HDMI.
Is there an HDMI version?
Yes — the VeCASTER PRO HDMI offers the same NDI + SRT feature set from an HDMI input.
Can I build a multichannel SDI system?
Yes — the VeCODER SDI provides four SDI encoders in one rack streaming server.
