CNDLive D1 · 4K60 IP video decoder
CNDLive D1 4K60 HDMI/3G-SDI IP Video Decoder
Decode IP video streams back to professional HDMI or SDI outputs. CNDLive D1 is built for production teams that need reliable NDI, SRT and RTMP decoding, 4K60 HDMI output, 3G-SDI output, RTMP Server workflows, 8-channel audio and real-time preview in one compact device.
When do you need CNDLive D1?
Use D1 when an IP stream needs to become a real production output. It receives NDI, SRT, RTMP and other IP video sources, then outputs them through HDMI or 3G-SDI for monitors, switchers, projectors, displays and broadcast workflows.
IP stream to HDMI / SDI
Decode NDI, SRT or RTMP sources back to physical HDMI or 3G-SDI outputs.
RTMP Server receiving
Connect compatible encoders directly to D1 over RTMP without using an external relay platform.
Broadcast-friendly decoding
Handle interlaced and B-frame sources, 8-channel audio and 3G-SDI output for professional production workflows.
Decoder workflow
D1 sits at the receive side of the workflow. It takes IP video from encoders, software production tools or network sources and converts it into HDMI or SDI outputs for display and production.
Outputs, protocols and professional decoding
D1 is designed for mixed IP video environments where different source formats, transport protocols and production outputs need to work together reliably.
Outputs and hardware
Protocol and decoding support
Turn network video into production-ready HDMI or SDI.
IP video is flexible, but production chains still often end in physical outputs: a switcher, a monitor, a projector, an SDI infrastructure path or a display endpoint.
D1 bridges that gap. It receives IP video streams and outputs them as HDMI or 3G-SDI, while adding protocol flexibility, RTMP Server support, audio decoding, preview and management tools for professional workflows.
