NDI unveiled its latest Core Tech Update—NDI 6.2—alongside the new Metadata Lab and announced integration with AWS for native support in its Elemental MediaConnect service.

NDI 6.2 introduces receiver discoverability capabilities, giving users full visibility into every NDI-connected source. New monitoring and control features will offer both users and developers real-time insights into NDI streams, including video format, codec, frame rate, resolution and connection state.

In response to industry demand, AWS is integrating NDI support into its Elemental MediaConnect service to provide high-quality IP video transport. This integration marks a major step forward for cloud-based production workflows, allowing broadcasters, streaming platforms and enterprise users to leverage NDI natively within AWS.

As NDI continues to expand beyond video and audio transport, the newly launched Metadata Lab invites developers, broadcasters and technology partners to submit, test and standardize metadata proposals. The initiative is designed to accelerate industry-wide metadata standardization, unlocking new possibilities for automation, interactivity and control in NDI-based workflows.

NDI has already published several metadata standards based on industry needs, including:

• PTZ Control
• Tally
• KVM
• CEA-708 & SCTE-104
• MIDI
• DMX
• Timed Text Captions

These standards have received positive feedback from users for enabling greater automation, integration and control across NDI-based systems.
