The implementation costs are virtually free compared to even a couple of years ago and the possibilities with the flexibility it offers are amazing for low cost broadcasting.
Even things like the app versions that turn your smartphone into an NDI camera could be a game changer for on the spot remote reporting.
What it can do inside something like vMix is incredible particularly when you consider you can have this sort of capability on a laptop. When you consider the extent of the patchbays, switches and interfacing you'd need just to handle the input and output source routing that he has at his disposal in this video it is pretty mind blowing to old gits like us!
Then when you add in a Vset3D system, which also uses NDI for its inputs and outputs, on the same network you can be integrating a realtime virtual set system for the price of another gaming computer and the $350 price of the software.
 

Just wanted to post this up here in remembrance of my faithful friend Hildy (my Hildoogans). It's probably not shot well and I'm sure the dynamic range is poor,... but I'll miss her anyway. She kept me company and was a good soul. She gave all the love she could to us and she was a beloved member of our family. We will always miss you Hildy. 
 

No more complaints on the P4K monitor stuck in-body... I guess ; -) LOL
Add one of my fav phones today and you'll have an instantaneous movie theater wherever you want:
Live TV now can reasonably mean live cinema! : -D

As NDI is a compressed format, its role for most people on here will primarily be for wireless monitoring.
The purpose of NDI is a low loss, low latency method of distributing signals within a network infrastructure and it can handle anything up to 4K60p with latency of 1 frame.
Once you have encoded the signal (and standalone Newtek HDMI>NDI converters are around $450) and it is inside your network it can be displayed and/or processed by any device on the network capable of reading it as though it was a physical connection.
For our monitoring application that means that we can display it on a mobile device, a laptop or a dedicated monitor in the case of the Ninja V or multiple combinations. The distance over which we can monitor the signal from our camera is only limited by our network infrastructure. That this can also extend to cloud based NDI solutions means that that reach can as easily be global as it is local.
The real power of NDI is for live production where you can cheaply and easily create multi camera and multi source productions without the need for big hardware switchers and complex infrastructure for bringing in cameras and remote sources.
For example, software switcher/production systems such as vMix (which people typically run on gaming laptops for portability) have plug-ins that see and use any NDI source on the network it is attached to as though it was a physical input so now you aren't limited to how many cameras you can use by the physical USB/Lightning ports you can attach converters to.
You also aren't limited by how you have to use those inputs either in terms of cable length as once you have converted the camera signal into NDI at the camera end then you can run the signal without loss to the other side of the world if you want to. And this capability is being used with cloud NDI to remotely produce multi camera events from hundreds of miles away without huge trucks in the stadium car park or satellite links.
NDI can also be used as an output format for computers so that these can be used as sources for graphics etc without having to use scan converters and again can be brought in from anywhere in the world in broadcast quality with minimal latency.
NDI can also be used as an input/output format for Skype so remote guests can be brought into shows directly.
So, whilst wireless monitoring is one application of NDI, it really is the tip of the iceberg of what it can do
A bit more of a primer here from Epiphan who incorporate it into their producta.

And is if by magic, a mobile NDI viewing app shows up the very next day !

I'll do a post about it next week.
There is a version of it for the Pocket 4K and one for Panasonic.

Send me PM, I am able to supply that to you directly from manufacturer for the best price out there : -)

So far only touch, no keyboard, as I'm usually editing on the go - like in moving cars, on planes, in a restaurant, or any other place I happen to be stationary while on assignment. This does look interesting, but the iPad Pro and Lumafusion has helped me shrink the size/weight of my kit as I no longer carry a laptop. I even went with the 11" pro over the 12.9 because its more portable. For me adding something else to carry is no bueno. But that's just me.
As always, amazing work. I hope you sell a ton of them. Put it out to Henny Tha Business and The Art of Photography YT channels, they do a lot of Lumafusion videos and Henny was at NAB demoing v2.0.
Cheers

Based on the backlash I've seen this week, I would find out which one they were using on Game Of Thrones and then not buy that one

I only use Lumafusion for quick basic edits (usually of drone footage.) I dont have a separate keyboard and so dont use keyboard shortcuts - sticking to the touch screen.
I have a contour shuttle (and palette gear) which I use and like but it is for my desktop workflow.
I would guess that a lot of people would find this useful though.

Thanks for the feedback.
Here is a sneak peek at what I've just finished developing.
It is an interface that you plug the Contour Shuttle devices into which then enables you to use them via Bluetooth LE in LumaFusion to control it.
 

Deep Trench Isolation sounds like some sort of PTSD from the First World War.
I believe Ebrahim used a Pyramid Surface Diffractor to collect his money from Western Union without ID.

I only recently connected my keyboard in hope it will somehow enable audio scrubbing. (It doesn’t)
I can see myself using the J, K, L, I, O,  arrow and space keys a lot.

It has actually featured on here before a couple of months ago as it was featured on Newsshooter IIRC.
The interest is in adding it to cameras that have no integral wifi transmission capability to an app (i.e. the Pocket4K) or for the Fuji cameras where you can have 4K and you can have wifi transmission to an app just not at the same time.
I'm interested in it for both really but primarily the Pocket4K so I can integrate it into 3C as the latency looks better than current bulkier ones I've been developing with.
Not to divert the thread but I think the real future for this stuff is NDI to be honest though and the new Newtek versions are far more compact than the original spark and can do 4K.
Atomos having the cheap NDI module for the Ninja V is a big deal as you can record/monitor from the HDMI port and have the NDI version streamed directly onward from there.
Panasonic have integrated NDI into one of their new compact pro camcorders (CX350) and it is going to be the first of many.
What it currently lacks is a viewer app for mobile devices (although Newtek do an app that turns your device into an NDI camera which is actually pretty good) which will no doubt come over time but, again, this is where the Ninja V comes into it as of course it can also be used as an NDI viewer.
