Full NDI. No compromises.
In the world of NDI there are two flavors, NDI and NDI|HX.  NDI is a variable bit rate, I-Frame codec that is reaches around 140Mbits at 1080p60 and is visually lossless.  NDI|HX is a compressed, long-GOP, H.264 variant that reaches around 12Mbits at 1080p60. A300 only Encodes and Decodes Full YUV422 NDI
