LEAWOOD, Kan.—NewTek once again has organized an NDI Central Pavilion for the NAB Show (exhibition floor, April 8-11), and this year’s promises to be chock-full of new NDI-based goodies.
Come to the pavilion to see innovations from AJT Systems, a Division of Daktronics, ENCO, Intinor, MicroVideo, Panasonic, SQUID (aka SQD Technologies) and Stream Circle.
My previous NDI Central Pavilion blog, available here, looked at what Bannister Lake, 3D Storm, Etere Pte. Ltd, Changsha KILOVIEW Electronics, Medialooks and NewBlue are planning for the NAB Show.
AJT Systems, a Division of Daktronics
AJT Systems is expanding its SportApp 3 to support baseball. This addition comes on the heels of the fall 2018 SportApp 3 release with support for basketball, football, hockey and soccer.
The SportApp suite allows graphics playout control with connections to data feeds from various scoreboard controllers. SportApp 3 offers a new touch interface along with quick action buttons and dual-channel NDI and SDI support.
For in-game statistics, several types of data connections allow for fast and easy generation of in-game statistic graphics. Operators can build different layouts for statistics pre-game and push them to air in seconds. A refresh button ensures prebuilt stats always remain fresh with up-to-the-second information.
More information is available on the AJT Systems website.

ENCO
ENCO will demonstrate its latest NDI-capable automated workflow solutions for television. With its real-time speech-to-text engine, enCaption4 is an on-premise or cloud-based solution for generating accurate live closed captioning for TV and online video.
enCaption can now automatically generate captions through its NDI input stream, and output an NDI signal with captions keyed directly on top of the video stream. This capability simplifies the captioning workflow by eliminating the need for speculated encoding hardware.
ENCO also has added NDI compatibility to its MOM automation and media management system, taking in multiple feeds and distributing them over a single network connection
