While the SDK is free.. The moment you want to distribute it you walk into a license thing that you need to pay for every used NDI setup..

Maybe since then company policy changed. Could be?! But this is what was told me by 3 different companies that i spoke too at IBC..
So this is were my info was coming from.
But Kane can you explain then why if i have a Lumens or PTZ optics camera.. I have to go to the Newtek Website https://store.newtek.com/ndi-hx-upgrade-for-cameras.html and pay between 299 and 599 dollar for a NDI license ?? If NDI was free? Why do you need to charge money for a license then....
We all know that the Newtek NDI Ptz camera is a Lumens VC-A50PN. But due too the aditional license the Lumens get more expensive then your Newtek branded camera.
