ndiScope
NDI ® Waveform Vectorscope Audio/Video Monitor
ndiScope software provides a real time, professional quality signal analysis tool for on set, production, post production, and research and development environments. ndiScope is designed to monitor from SD up to 1080p60 HD and everything in between. It provides HD image analysis with support for 601 and 709 color spaces. Multiple audio and video scopes can be selected in a variety of layouts depending on your monitoring needs. For SMPTE 2110/2022 monitoring, please see our Network Video Analyzer and for 4K/UHD/HDR/NDI® monitoring, please see our 4KScope/HDRScope.
ndiScope can display up to six video, data, or audio scopes at one time with pixel accurate 16 bit precision. ndiScope is ideal for HD mastering, DIT and broadcast monitoring, signal QC and remote monitoring. It is available as software, or a 1U hardware device, for Windows and macOS 10.14 Mojave.
