This workshop will help church AVL leaders understand how the video-over-IP protocol NDI works, why it has a reputation for being “unreliable,” and how to deploy it successfully in real-world ministry environments. Through practical examples and lessons learned at Cottonwood Creek Church, attendees will discover how video over IP can reduce costs, increase flexibility, and prepare their teams for the future of broadcast technology. The session will also introduce SMPTE ST 2110 and explain why understanding NDI today is an important step toward the next generation of professional IP video workflows.
