DLZ Creator is the first product in the Mackie line to integrate NDI technology, a bidirectional AV-over-IP protocol enabling audio and video workflows across Ethernet networks. The NDI standard enables broadcast quality, low latency, and frame-accurate audio and video communication between multiple machines in real-time on a simple, secure, and dependable IP network. The NDI protocol is also increasingly relevant in streaming and Cloud Mixing, allowing for direct connection to music creation software and outside networks. With support from Twitch and OBS, online gamers, live streamers, and podcast professionals have also embraced the NDI protocol. For example, two DLZ Creator users could co-host podcasts from different cities, sharing full-resolution audio in real time.

With a growing user base of streamers, gamers, and content creators, the DLZ Creator is already changing how content is made and shared. The integration of NDI, enabling fast and easy real-time movement of audio and video between computers, cameras, and other digital devices, will empower users with powerful, professional-level connectivity that will dramatically transform their workflow.

DLZ Creator will immediately provide NDI implementation for bidirectional stereo audio, with multichannel support to be added later in the year. This firmware update also includes multilanguage options for the DLZ Creator touchscreen interface, including German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Chinese and Korean.
