NEWTEK CONNECT SPARK PRO
NewTek Connect Spark™ Pro is a portable IP video encoder that accepts an HDMI 2.0 video signal up to 4K UHD p60 from any supported camera or digital device, converts it to full-bandwidth NDI®, and makes it available for use with any compatible system, device, or application—anywhere on your network.
4K UHD to NDI:
Turn any compatible 4K UHD device into an IP video source instantly. Simply plug it into Connect Spark™ Pro, and the signal is translated to full-bandwidth NDI®. No complex configuration or excessive cabling required.
Virtual PTZ:
Get more sources from every signal with integrated Virtual PTZ functionality. Start with the full-resolution video image, define different areas of interest, then store as full-frame shot presets that you can switch or move between seamlessly.
Multicast Mode:
Have your 4K UHD source available wherever you need it on your network. With the optional multicast mode enabled, the same NDI® output from your Connect Spark™ Pro can be served to multiple destinations simultaneously, saving valuable bandwidth.
Sleek Design:
Camera-mountable, with built-in tally lights and support for Power over Ethernet (POE), Connect Spark™ Pro integrates effortlessly into any professional production setup or studio environment.
