CNDLive C6 · HDMI / 3G-SDI streaming encoder
CNDLive C6 4K30 HDMI/3G-SDI Encoder
One compact encoder for HDMI, SDI, streaming and recording. CNDLive C6 turns HDMI or 3G-SDI video sources into reliable IP streams for live production, AV-over-IP, education, corporate events, worship and broadcast contribution workflows.
When do you need CNDLive C6?
Use C6 when you need to take a camera, switcher or presentation source and deliver it as a reliable IP stream. It is especially useful when a workflow needs both HDMI and SDI connectivity, local recording, SRT contribution and direct streaming without a full production workstation.
HDMI or SDI to live stream
Encode HDMI or 3G-SDI sources for SRT, RTMP, RTMPS, HLS, TS/RTSP or NDI HX workflows.
Streaming plus recording
Stream live while keeping a local recording on TF card / microSD or external USB media.
Portable production endpoint
Use one compact device with LCD preview, buttons, Wi-Fi 6 and Gigabit PoE for faster deployment.
Simple streaming workflow
C6 sits between your video source and the network. It takes HDMI or 3G-SDI, encodes it using H.265/H.264, and delivers the signal to platforms, receivers, software production systems or IP video infrastructure.
Inputs, protocols and production control
C6 is not just a basic streaming box. It combines HDMI and SDI input/loop workflows, codec efficiency, multi-protocol delivery, local recording and direct device-side control in a compact form factor.
I/O and control
Streaming and IP video support
Replace complicated streaming setups with one dedicated encoder.
A laptop and software encoder can work for simple jobs, but in production environments it often adds risk: OS updates, capture drivers, cabling, configuration and operator dependency.
CNDLive C6 gives teams a dedicated hardware endpoint for encoding, recording and streaming. It is built for repeatable workflows where a source needs to go live quickly and reliably.
