Introduction
The SWIT NDI EFP system consists of camera adaptors EC-N200 (up to HD) or EC-N200-4K (up to 4K) and
an intercom control panel ET-N80 with all the essential accessories for one-stop setup.
The EC-N200 camera adaptor takes 3G-SDI input from cameras, encoded to an HD NDI stream over an
IP network, and the EC-N200-4K camera adaptor takes 12G-SDI input, and encodes to 4K NDI. Both of
the HD and 4K versions support NDI PGM source decoded and monitoring output via HDMI. You can use
any on-camera monitors with HDMI input, to monitor local camera video and return PGM video in
pic-in-pic mode. The control buttons on the adaptor are available for intercom volume adjustment and
Push-to-talk with the director. There’s on-board TALLY light for cameramen and also extended TALLY
light for the anchor. The camera adaptors support PoE power and V-mount battery power as well.
The ET-N80 intercom control panel can be assigned with up to 8 camera adaptors, and supports link
connection for more channels or for external 3rd party intercom system by 4-wire connector. Directors
can talk to every cameraman individually by pushing button numbers or announce everyone by the
ANN button, instead of selecting intercom channels from webpages.
The NDI EFP system has respected all the operation habits of SDI/Fiber EFP system, and greatly
simplified cable works by using NDI IP solution. You can use any ENG cameras to build up a pure NDI
production system, and all the intercom, TALLY, return video are based on NDI, the high quality and low
latency IP video solution with reasonable network bandwidth.
Encode camera SDI to high bandwidth NDI, HD up to 150Mbps and 4K up to 250Mbps.
Decode PGM NDI in every camera adaptor and display local video and return video together.
Full duplex intercom between cameramen and director.
The director can select camera numbers to talk individually or press ANN to talk to everyone.
The cameraman can initiate the call to director.
Provide dual colors on-board TALLY light and external TALLY light set on the front of the camera.
The camera adaptor supports DC-IN power, V-mount battery power and PoE power.
The intercom control panel can be connected into 3rd party intercom system.
