Meet mini-edge SDI
mini-edge SDI is a versatile multi-source video switcher designed for professional live production and streaming workflows. Compared with the original mini-edge, it adds four 3G-SDI inputs, an NDI bi-directional licensed port, and audio noise reduction functionality.
- Inputs
The device provides a total of 10 input connections, including four 4K HDMI 2.0 inputs, four 3G-SDI inputs, and bi-directional UVC and NDI (license required) connectivity. It can be connected to a wide range of video sources, including PCs and cameras. For audio, mini-edge SDI supports Phantom-powered microphones, Line In, Mic inputs, and Bluetooth audio sources. - Outputs
Two independent HDMI outputs can be used for multiview monitoring or test output. A USB 3.0 output supports both YUY2 and MJPEG formats and can be recognized as a standard webcam for direct streaming to platforms such as WeChat Channels, Douyin, Huya, and Kuaishou.The UVC and NDI ports also support bi-directional operation. UVC can be used for USB audio recording and connection to compatible wireless speakers or microphones, such as RGBlink AI mini. The NDI port enables simultaneous encoder and decoder operation, providing greater flexibility for complex IP-based production workflows. - Production Features
A built-in 5.5-inch TFT display provides convenient menu navigation and multiview monitoring. The device supports dynamic output control, multiview preview, Picture-in-Picture (PiP), chroma keying, transition effects, and onboard PTZ camera control. - Control and Streaming
mini-edge SDI supports Web App control and integration with the TAO Cloud platform, enabling simultaneous streaming to multiple destinations. The system supports streaming to at least four platforms concurrently.
๐ข Notes
- When streaming to multiple platforms simultaneously, a gigabit internet connection is recommended for optimal performance and stability.
- For multi-platform streaming, the TAO Cloud distribution service is recommended.
