OBSBOT’s New Flagship Tail 2 Empowered by NDI for Seamless Live Production

OBSBOT, a global leader in smart videography technology, introduces the Tail 2, its most advanced AI-powered PTZR 4K Live Production Camera, powered by NDI for seamless, high-quality video connectivity. With NDI removing the constraints of traditional video connectivity, the Tail 2 offers unmatched flexibility and exceptional performance, making it ideal for worship services, live events, education, sports, remote production and more.

What is NDI?

NDI (Network Device Interface), developed by NewTek, is a globally recognized video connectivity standard that enables multimedia systems to identify and communicate over IP and to encode, transmit, and receive high-quality, low latency, frame-accurate video, and exchange metadata in real-time. As one of the most advanced video technologies, NDI merges high-quality, low-latency video, PTZ controls, and metadata into one stream. 

OBSBOT Tail 2 x NDI: Seamless Wired and Wireless Workflows

With both Ethernet and wireless NDI connectivity, Tail 2 unlocks endless possibilities for efficient, flexible, and user-friendly live streaming in single or multi-camera setups.

Effortless Scaling with Minimal Cabling

Tail 2 empowers video production teams to expand operations without additional SDI/HDMI hardware, making workflows more adaptable and cost-effective. Unlike traditional setups that rely on extensive cabling and expensive video switchers, NDI transmits high-quality video over a standard Gigabit Ethernet network, eliminating the need for extra physical video cables. This allows users to reduce costs, gain greater flexibility, and streamline production.

Seamless Multi-Camera Streaming & Remote Production

Tail 2 integrates effortlessly with NDI-enabled cameras, software (e.g., OBS, vMix), and other compatible devices, allowing seamless video feed sharing over the same network. Since NDI removes geographical limitations, teams can access all camera feeds in real time from anywhere in the world - without physical cabling. Whether for worship services, live events, sports, or conferences, Tail 2 ensures a smooth, interconnected production experience.

Low-latency, High-Quality 4K Video Transmission

Powered by NDI|HX3 compression technology, Tail 2 delivers low latency while maintaining exceptional 4K video quality, making it an ideal choice for live production where every frame counts.

Seamless Integration with the OBSBOT Ecosystem

Tail 2 works effortlessly with OBSBOT's suite of NDI-enabled software and hardware for enhanced control and production efficiency. On PCs, users can utilize Obsbot Start, Obsbot Live, and OBSBOT Center to enable NDI for smooth PTZ control, multi-camera management, and advanced production features. Additionally, OBSBOT Talent, an all-in-one live-streaming hub, offers NDI support with direct PTZ control, enabling more dynamic and professional productions.

Tally Light for Real-Time NDI Status Monitoring

Tail 2 features an industry-standard dual-color Tally Light, providing a clear status indication of preview and program streams to ensure precise workflow coordination for a smooth and professional live production experience.

OBSBOT has been expanding its NDI ecosystem since launching Tail Air, its AI-powered 4K PTZ streaming camera. The OBSBOT UVC to NDI Adapter further expanded the possibilities, enabling all OBSBOT webcams NDI-compatible, significantly enhancing the live streaming experience for users. With the introduction of Tail 2 powered by NDI, OBSBOT continues redefining live production, offering users the flexibility, scalability, and quality needed for seamless live streaming, whether on-site or remote.
