Expanded Software and Infrastructure Hardware Certification by NDI

Expanded Software and Infrastructure Hardware Certification by NDI

At this year's Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) 2025 in Barcelona, Network Device Interfaces (NDI) is set to showcase an expanded NDI Certified program, featuring products from various partners. The expansion aims to provide professionals with easier access to a diverse ecosystem of trusted solutions.

The NDI Certified program has been broadened to include software, infrastructure hardware products, network switches, and other product categories. Among the first partners to join this expanded initiative are Netgear, Thinlabs, Yamaha, and QuickLink.

Netgear has validated all switches from its M4250, M4300, M4350, and M4500 series as part of the NDI Certified program. This move is seen as a significant validation of Netgear's value in the NDI ecosystem by Richard Jonker, vice president of marketing and business development at Netgear.

Thinlabs has also certified its PoE computers, while QuickLink has certified its StudioPro and StudioEdge video production solutions.

The NDI Certification Program provides an official endorsement of partners' products and verifies them against their marketing claims. It ensures NDI-enabled products meet technical guidelines for seamless interoperability within NDI workflows.

To find newly certified products, users can utilise the NDI Product Finder, available online. However, as of ISE 2025, a specific list detailing the expanded program's list of software and infrastructure hardware products is not yet available in the search results.

In addition to the expanded NDI Certified program, NDI has launched the NDI Professional Course. This course aims to advance AV professionals' skills in designing, deploying, and optimizing NDI workflows. It includes workflow walkthroughs and applied use cases but does not list specific certified products.

The partnership between NDI and Netgear, which spans over five years, has significantly impacted the AV networking space by improving efficiency and interoperability. This partnership involves various hardware solutions like switches, which support NDI in different applications.

For the most accurate and up-to-date list of certified products, it would be beneficial to check NDI's official website or contact them directly. The NDI Ecosystem Booth 4G700 at ISE 2025 in Barcelona will also showcase NDI Certified products from partners during the event (Feb. 4-7).

Donald Shaver, NDI Business Developer Director, stated that the expansion of the NDI Certified program makes it easier for professionals to access a diverse ecosystem of trusted solutions. The continued advancements in NDI technology and its integration with various hardware and software solutions are set to be showcased at ISE 2025.
