Bolin PTZ Camera with NDI Embedded Bridge
"NDI Bridge revolutionizes remote media production by eliminating traditional geographical limitations and facilitating seamless connectivity, collaboration, and content creation from any global location." 

With Bolin's NDI Embedded Bridge PTZ cameras and decoders, the devices send and receive encrypted NDI streams over WAN from any location globally. With one device running the embedded bridge, all NDI streams on a network can be sent and received. With NDI embedded devices, no complex setups required and configurations can easily be done ahead of time for plug and play operation in the field. 

Bolin's NDI PTZ cameras with NDI Embedded Bridge provide real-time collaboration, robust security, and a seamless user experience for remote production and broadcast, virtual events, and content creation. 

"It essentially allows individuals or teams from multiple locations to share, send, and receive high-quality, low-latency video, audio, and metadata streams, and control across the globe." 

FreeD Protocol Integrated for VR/AR Video Production
FreeD (Free Dimensional Video) is a protocol that enables the capture and rendering of immersive, three-dimensional video content. It is especially useful for virtual live video productions with baseband video feeds and, with Bolin PTZ cameras, with ultra-low latency AV Over IP streaming. This capability can be widely used in applications like weather reporting, sports, news, and live events.

FreeD helps provide all the axis data needed for a Bolin PTZ camera to intelligently and smoothly pan, tilt, and zoom while following designated objects and people. Broadcasters can combine Bolin’s FreeD-enabled PTZ cameras with available, sophisticated software to automate complex camera operations with spectacular results.
