Network Device Interface (NDI) Support in Liberty Recorder

As courts increasingly adopt high-quality video recording and remote hearing solutions, Liberty Recording is expanding its video capabilities with Network Device Interface (NDI) support in Liberty Court Recorder 8.7.

NDI is an industry-leading IP-based video transmission protocol, developed by Vizrt NDI AB, that enables high-performance, low-latency video streaming across standard network infrastructure. With NDI support, Liberty Court Recorder now offers seamless connectivity to hundreds of professional video devices, allowing courtrooms, hearing rooms, and legislative chambers to enhance their video recording workflows with minimal setup.

NDI Video Support: Expanding Courtroom Recording Capabilities

Liberty Court Recorder 8.7 introduces two levels of NDI integration, designed to support both standard and high-performance video configurations:
Standard NDI (Included at No Cost)

• Ideal for simple courtroom video setups with fewer video sources.
• Included in the base Liberty Recorder program at no additional cost.
• Provides direct connectivity to NDI-enabled cameras and video sources for streamlined video capture.

Advanced NDI (Optimized for High-Performance Setups)

• Designed for more complex courtroom video environments requiring multiple concurrent video feeds.
• Optimized to handle higher resource demands on the recording computer.
• Available in the Liberty Recorder - Advanced NDI version for courts requiring enhanced video processing capabilities.

How to Enable NDI Support in Liberty Court Recorder
​
To activate NDI video input support, users must:

1. Download the Liberty NDI Engine
2. Extract the NDI Engine files and place them in the same folder as the Liberty Recorder program installation.
3. Ensure the correct version is used (x64 or x86, depending on the Recorder program version).
4. Define NDI video sources in the "Video" tab of the Liberty Recorder options.

For courts needing guidance on which NDI version best fits their configuration, Liberty Recording or an authorized reseller can provide expert recommendations.

Why NDI Matters for Courtroom Video Recording

NDI eliminates the need for dedicated video cabling, allowing courtrooms to:
✅ Streamline video workflows by transmitting high-quality video over standard IP networks.
✅ Reduce infrastructure costs by removing the need for proprietary hardware connections.
✅ Expand video recording capabilities with support for multi-camera configurations.
✅ Improve flexibility—NDI-enabled cameras and devices can be added or reconfigured easily.

With Liberty Court Recorder 8.7, courts can seamlessly integrate NDI video sources into their recording and archiving workflows, ensuring efficient, high-quality visual documentation of legal proceedings.
