Intinor Elevates IP Video Contribution with Advanced Diagnostics and HDR Workflows

In the high-stakes world of professional broadcasting, the transition to IP-based workflows demands a level of stability and visibility that traditional systems often struggle to provide. Intinor is addressing these challenges head-on with a series of technical enhancements to its Direkt series, which the company is showcasing at BroadcastAsia 2026. These updates focus on three critical pillars: granular monitoring, seamless redundancy, and high-fidelity color reproduction.

Granular Visibility with Enhanced SRT Monitoring

One of the most significant hurdles in remote production is the “black box” nature of IP transport. When a stream degrades, engineers need to know exactly why it’s happening to resolve the issue quickly. To solve this, Intinor has integrated detailed SRT (Secure Reliable Transport) stream statistics directly into the Intinor Direkt Management (IDM) interface.

Engineers can now track critical real-time metrics, including:

• Round-trip time and latency: Measuring the exact delay between source, and destination.
• Jitter and packet loss: Identifying network instability before it impacts the visual output.
• Buffer health: Monitoring the system’s ability to handle incoming data bursts.

By providing this data visibility, Intinor enables better management of complex multi-vendor workflows, ensuring that technical teams can pinpoint bottlenecks across the contribution chain.

Ensuring Zero-Frame Loss via Redundancy

In live broadcasting, a single dropped frame can be the difference between a professional production and a technical failure. Intinor is tackling this risk through the integration of SMPTE ST 2022-7, a standard that enables seamless protection switching across redundant network paths.

If one network link fails, the system automatically switches to the redundant path, ensuring the broadcast continues without any missing frames. This capability works in tandem with Intinor’s Bifrost™ Reliable Transport, which actively maintains connection stability even when bandwidth fluctuates over unpredictable internet routes.

Advancing Visual Quality: HDR and NDI® Advanced

As viewers demand higher visual fidelity, the transport layer must preserve the integrity of the original signal. Intinor has introduced HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma) HDR passthrough, which preserves HDR metadata across the entire contribution chain. This ensures signaling consistency from the source to the destination without requiring manual re-configuration.

Further enhancing production quality is the implementation of NDI® version 6.3. This update brings NDI® Advanced support to the system, allowing for 10-bit color depth. This is a crucial upgrade for high-precision production environments where color accuracy and grading are paramount.

Precision Network Control

To maintain the stability of these high-bandwidth streams, Intinor has introduced more rigorous network controls. NDI® traffic can now be locked to specific physical network interfaces, and dedicated discovery servers can be configured. These tools ensure that devices are reliably located and that traffic is routed precisely, reducing the risk of network congestion or device discovery failures.

Key Takeaways for Broadcast Engineers

• Improved Diagnostics: Real-time SRT statistics in the IDM interface reduce troubleshooting time.
• Fail-Safe Transport: SMPTE ST 2022-7 and Bifrost™ Reliable Transport eliminate single points of failure in network paths.
• Color Precision: 10-bit color depth via NDI® Advanced and HLG HDR passthrough preserve high-end visual assets.
• Network Stability: Interface locking and dedicated discovery servers optimize traffic routing.

The Future of Remote Production

The updates to the Direkt series signal a broader shift toward “intelligent” IP transport. It is no longer enough to simply move data from point A to point B; the transport layer must now provide the diagnostics, redundancy, and color science necessary to match the quality of traditional SDI infrastructures. By integrating these professional-grade tools, Intinor is making remote production more resilient and visually sophisticated.
