The revolutionary NewTek PTZ NDI camera is updated with multicast support and vastly enhanced picture quality. This functionality works with all NDI applications that support PTZ without any change. Ideal for live video game streamers, corporate, educational and individual content creators, users can also assign the same source to multiple switcher inputs with different views to switch between virtual cameras without even using extra network bandwidth for each view. Virtual PTZ capability allows users to determine areas of interest within the entire video frame, zoom in, save those areas as presets, and then transition between them smoothly like a PTZ camera. The latest version of Connect Spark includes multi-camera virtual PTZ capability, multicast support, ability to connect across networks, LTC time code support, and improved audio. Additionally, NewTek Connect Spark delivers video to popular desktop video applications including Google Hangouts, GoToMeeting™, Skype™, Skype for Business, WebEx, Zoom, and others. Both devices work with millions of existing software applications that support NDI, including: CombiTech VidBlaster, Livestream Studio, OBS, Splitmedia Labs XSplit, Streamstar ®, StudioCoast vMix, Telestream Gameshow, Telestream Wirecast, NewTek TriCaster ®, and many more. The NewTek PTZ NDI camera is the world’s first PTZ camera to deliver video, audio, tally, PTZ control, and power over a single Ethernet cable.

Connect Spark converts either SDI or HDMI signals into NDI sources to be shared over a standard Ethernet networks either wired or wirelessly. Existing customers can take advantage of the new features through software upgrades free of charge.
