CNDLive A1 4K HDMI NDI Converter
A compact bi-directional converter for professional IP video workflows. The CNDLive A1 is designed for teams that need reliable HDMI to NDI conversion, NDI back to HDMI output, simultaneous 1080p60 encode/decode, and clean integration into broadcast, ProAV, hybrid and live production environments.
Professional NDI conversion for real production environments.
The CNDLive A1 is built for teams that need more than a simple signal adapter. It helps bridge HDMI and NDI workflows in a way that suits live events, studios, corporate AV, education and hybrid production systems.
Use it to encode an HDMI source into your NDI environment, decode NDI back to HDMI, or build a more flexible workflow where signals need to move between displays, switchers, production systems and networked AV infrastructure.
Why it fits ProMediaIT projects
- Compact hardware that fits both fixed installations and portable production kits.
- Bi-directional workflow support for practical encode and decode tasks.
- Multiple NDI formats for balancing quality, bandwidth and workflow flexibility.
- Useful HDMI layout with OUT, IN and LOOP ports for production environments.
- Strong fit for broadcast, live streaming, ProAV and hybrid environments.
