Ideal Systems and NIN9 Studios have announced the launch of Singapore’s first commercial podcast studio utilising Network Device Interface (NDI) technology. This collaboration aims to offer high-quality video podcast productions, marking a significant advancement in the local media landscape.
Located in Kallang, NIN9 Studios has upgraded its facilities with Ideal Systems’ NDI reference architecture. The studio is equipped with the VizRT Tricaster TC1 Pro, enabling top-tier production and live streaming capabilities. This setup supports multicamera inputs, including Birddog NDI HX X4 Ultra and DSLR cameras, and integrates Microsoft Teams and Zoom for live video conferencing.
Fintan Mc Kiernan, CEO of Ideal Systems Singapore, highlighted the transformation, stating, “Cost effectively upgrading a traditional photography studio into a full function video production studio for commercial podcasts is yet another case study highlighting the benefits and flexibility of NDI.”
Vinod Rai Sharma of NIN9 Studios expressed enthusiasm about the new venture, noting, “The equipment and system provided by Ideal Systems has opened up a whole new business channel for us. Podcasting isn’t just a creative outlet; it offers real, measurable commercial benefits for businesses, brands, and individuals.”
The studio not only serves as a production facility but also acts as an NDI test lab, allowing for the benchmarking and testing of new NDI products. This initiative is expected to boost brand awareness and create monetisation opportunities through sponsorships and advertising, whilst also enhancing networking through guest interviews with industry leaders.
