Vizrt has introduced Viz Connect Audio, its first dedicated audio connectivity and monitoring solution. The new product enhances network-wide management of NDI audio sources, enabling seamless integration into live productions. Viz Connect Audio will be showcased at NAB 2025, demonstrating its seamless integration with Vizrt’s flagship TriCaster Vizion.
   

Steve Taylor, Chief Product and Technology Officer, Vizrt, said: “Audio is just as important as video in any live production. By ensuring seamless and flexible audio connectivity using the same NDI network, with streaming infrastructure also widely used for video, Viz Connect Audio guarantees professional-quality, easy-to-configure live productions.”

The system allows users to connect analog audio sources, convert them to NDI, and integrate them into local or remote networks. It also provides real-time visibility of all NDI audio sources, improving monitoring and control.

Christopher McLendon, Senior Product Manager, Vizrt, added: “While TriCasters have long provided the ability to connect audio sources directly into the live production switcher, with Viz Connect Audio, the focus is firmly on enabling users to bring in analogue audio sources, convert them to NDI, and connect them straight to the NDI network – strengthening the entire workflow and flexibility of the ecosystem.”

Suitable for broadcast studios, event producers, corporate communications, educational institutions, content creators and anyone doing a live production, Viz Connect Audio easily integrates, enabling the visibility, monitoring and control of a production’s audio sources.

As one of the first dedicated NDI IP Audio solutions, Viz Connect Audio brings endless connectivity options, expanding unrivalled production possibilities using a range of formats.

At NAB 2025, Viz Connect Audio will be showcased in its seamless integration with Vizrt’s flagship TriCaster, the TriCaster Vizion.

Across demonstration pods and experience areas, Vizrt will be showing real-world solutions that solve everyday production challenges. One of its focuses is on live production, and particularly, how professional events and broadcasts can be created easily, cost-effectively, and in a truly integrated way.

Demonstrating the versatility of the TriCaster range, and how it adapts to diverse production needs, Viz Connect Audio will sit at the heart of the essential, strengthened, and connected audio sources and management.
