Ubiquiti Inc has finally launched its first NAS (Network Attached Storage) the UNAS, it’s now available for USD 499.00. If you’re already in the Unifi ecosystem this is a no-brainer, it won’t have all of the services NAS are used to out of the gate, but I’m sure they will come in updates.

That’s a wrap, one more in the rear view. Grateful for industry tools that make production life easy, Time in Pixels NobeOmniScopes, shout out to Noel Riddle over at Freeman for teaching me how to use scopes to match cameras specifically the Diamond.

Time in Pixels now have TwinPeaks in its software base OmniScopes, what I love about software vs. hardware, I can visually stack my scopes/sources makes aligning and matching much easier.

So, Here is a January 11. 2024 Press Release from Ross Video. “Ross Video & NDI Announce Agreement for NDI® Advanced Adoption.”

https://tech.gekjr.pro/2U2

It's great news for those who own and use Ross products and work with VOIP and Cloud workflows. However, some owners/operators of Blackmagic Design gear may be concerned about what this means for them.

Blackmagic Design is making progress at their own pace in terms of VOIP and Cloud workflows. They are currently implementing SMPTE ST 2110 and already offer SRT support for some products. Blackmagic Cloud is their offering in the cloud for sharing and collaboration with DaVinci Resolve, and the URSA G2 has a new direct streaming engine to certain ATEMs.

Only time will tell how deep the BD cloud engine will develop and whether NDI will be part of it. The launch of NAB 2024 is only a few months away, but until then, you can check out the release link from Ross Video.

Ross Video expands Licensing of NDI AV over IP standard across its portfolio, broadening connectivity options and extending customer applications. Ottawa, January 11, 2024 — Ross Video, …
