SDK Programs
NewTek‘s Video Software Development Kit (SDK) Program is designed to provide third-party developers access to the tools needed to build applications and products that integrate with and augment NewTek products. Some of the SDKs available to qualified developers include:
 |
Network Device Interface SDKInstall NDI on production devices to make the inputs and outputs of those devices—including switchers, graphics engines, laptops, etc.—available as video sources to other NDI-enabled receiving devices over a shared standard network. The basis of the NewTek Advanced IP Workflow, NDI employs refined encoding and communication protocols to efficiently package and send information over the bandwidth of a standard LAN. |
 |
Add-On SDKSeamlessly integrate your own applications as TriCaster™ Add-Ons available from the Startup Screen menu. |
 |
DataLink SDKLink to live data feeds to deliver dynamic on-screen data that updates in real time. |
 |
File Reader SDKEnable applications to read Quicktime files being recorded by TriCaster and 3Play™ while recording is in progress. |
 |
Macro Extensions APIWrite cross-platform macro commands that extend TriCaster and 3Play automation to other products within your live production environment. |
 |
Remote Control SDKEnable suitable systems to control NewTek production systems remotely over a TCP/IP communication link. |
 |
Video Send SDKAllow external applications to send audio and video — including transparency — to NewTek production systems over a local network. |
 |
Video Source SDKConfigure applications as custom video sources selectable from the Network Input menus of TriCaster and 3Play. |
