CNDLive A1 · HDMI to NDI and OMT workflow
CNDLive A1 4K60 HDMI NDI/OMT Converter
A compact bi-directional converter for professional IP video workflows. CNDLive A1 is designed for teams that need reliable HDMI to NDI conversion, NDI back to HDMI output, compatible OMT workflows, simultaneous 1080p60 encode/decode and clean integration into broadcast, ProAV, hybrid and live production environments.
When do you need CNDLive A1?
Use A1 when HDMI equipment needs to become part of a wider NDI or OMT IP video workflow. It is especially useful when the same compact hardware point needs to handle encoding, decoding, loop-through and conversion between traditional AV and networked production systems.
HDMI into NDI
Encode HDMI cameras, laptops or AV sources into NDI for software production, routing and monitoring.
NDI back to HDMI
Decode NDI feeds to HDMI for displays, switchers, projectors, monitors or confidence screens.
Compact hybrid conversion
Use one compact device for mixed NDI, HDMI, OMT, USB camera and ProAV workflows.
Signal flow, I/O and protocol support
A1 is useful because it is not only a converter. It gives production teams a compact bridge between HDMI devices, NDI infrastructure, USB camera sources and software production tools.
I/O Connectors
Protocol Support
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.
