Product Overview

The Vizrt CSPTZHXUCC NDI|HX Upgrade for Axis Cameras is a software license that activates NDI|HX output on compatible Axis PTZ cameras. Broadcast engineers and AV integrators can use this license to integrate Axis cameras directly into NDI-based IP video production workflows over standard gigabit Ethernet. No external signal converter or encoder is required activation is handled through firmware, and the camera becomes a discoverable NDI|HX source on the network immediately.

Product Description

Axis cameras are widely used in broadcast, corporate AV, and security-adjacent video production environments. This upgrade license unlocks NDI|HX capability on supported Axis PTZ models, enabling H.264 or H.265 compressed video transmission over IP to any NDI-compatible receiver. Once activated, the stream is automatically visible to TriCaster production systems, vMix, and NDI Tools across the local network. The NDI|HX protocol is optimized for bandwidth efficiency, making Axis cameras viable sources in multi-camera IP production setups on standard enterprise networking infrastructure. One license activates a single camera; each additional camera unit requires its own upgrade.

Key Features

• NDI|HX on Axis PTZ Cameras Activates IP video streaming directly from compatible Axis cameras to NDI receivers.
• Bandwidth-Efficient Transport H.264/H.265 compression suits multi-camera deployments on standard gigabit LAN.
• Firmware Activation No hardware modification; the license is applied through camera firmware.
• Broad System Compatibility Discovered automatically by TriCaster, vMix, OBS NDI plugin, and other NDI-aware platforms.
• Digital License Delivery Electronic key for immediate deployment.
