At IBC2025,one of the world’s most influential event for broadcasting and digital media, Science Image and the NDI team collaborated to build a global IP ecosystem.
Science Image showcased its latest solutions, including the Vela G recorder series, Studio Edge G codec series, and Dyna Tools management software suite. These innovations not only enhanced legacy SDI systems with Genlock but also fully supported NDI 6.2, making Science Image a standout NDI traffic star at the event.
Since 2018, as one of NDI’s earliest adopters and advocates, Science Image has collaborated closely with the NDI team to explore the integration of NDI and SDI technologies. The company’s founding team pioneered the global launch of the NDI HD mini (4K30) and NDI Studio 4K (12G-SDI) series in April 2019, coinciding with the release of NDI 4.0. These all-in-one devices combined High Bandwidth NDI encoding/decoding, format conversion, and optical transceiver capabilities.

Through years of market and technical refinement, Science Image has expanded its product portfolio to include High Bandwidth NDI, NDI HX2/HX3, SRT, RTMP, and other protocols. The company’s hardware and software solutions offer a unique approach to IP-based ecosystems, demonstrating that SDI and IP technologies can coexist harmoniously.
Precision, Power, Simplicity
Science Image was founded by a team with over 20 years of expertise in media R&D, focusing on solving the challenges professional users face in SDI-over-IP transitions and providing cost-effective, reliable solutions. From our first 4K product, we adopted the world’s most advanced FPGA + SOC architecture to maximize chip performance, creating compact yet powerful, multifunctional broadcast-grade equipment.
The Vela Recorder Series is sleek and compact, featuring 12G-SDI input/output, 10-bit 4:2:2, optical transmission, and compatibility with AJA/BMD optical systems. It supports touch and remote control, recording, and loop playback, as well as multi-protocol encoding/decoding (SRT/RTMP/Full NDI/HX2/HX3). Light enough to be held in one hand, it can be used on a desk, in a rack, or on a camera. Equipped with a pluggable NVMe SSD, it ensures smooth, long-duration recording.

Studio Edge is a highly integrated 1U solution with 6 independent channels, suitable for desktop or rack mounting. Each channel supports encoding, decoding, up/down conversion, and format bridging (optical-to-SDI/HDMI/NDI, NDI/SDI/HDMI-to-optical, and SDI/HDMI-to-NDI conversion). All functions operate independently and concurrently, with clear status indicators and one-click parameter setup.

Simplifying Complexity! While similar products use chips to achieve 1-2 functions per device, Science Image delivers 4-5 functions simultaneously—or even more. One device replaces five, offering versatility and clear cost savings!
Practical, Pain-Solving, Comprehensive
In complex live production environments where program creation and live broadcasting occur simultaneously, the challenges of stability, compatibility, interface formats, and protocols create the dilemma of ”wanting everything at once.” The solution lies in integration, multifunctionality, and concurrent SDI/IP operations—reducing nodes and achieving efficiency.
The system fully supports SLRs, cameras, drones, backpacks, matrices, images, videos, HD/4K, interlaced/progressive formats, converting them into unified output formats. These signals are then simultaneously distributed via SDI, HDMI, NDI, and fiber to cameras, control stations, studios, and live streaming endpoints—all handled by one device, eliminating worries about high-quality transmission and multitasking.
Practicalist, high-integration designs enable the compact Studio 2 and Studio Edge series to replace dozens of standalone devices, while the Vela series simultaneously handles encoding, decoding, recording, and optical transmission within a single unit. This meets demands for long-term storage, live streaming, and long-distance transmission, disrupting the traditional hardware-stacking approach.

Not Competing in Quantity, Winning in Longevity
To build the world’s finest products—this founding principle has been the bedrock of our team since day one.
From humble beginnings, working quietly amid industry noise, to earning the trust of global clients and flagship projects today—from Las Vegas’ MSG Sphere to CCTV’s Spring Festival Gala, and even the 80th Anniversary V-Day Parade on September 3, 2025—our products have consistently delivered under extreme pressure. Years of extremely low failure rates have cemented our confidence in offering 3 years warranties.
When CCTV, Lianhe Zaobao, Xinhua News Agency, China News Service, Goldman Sachs, the IMF, and Alibaba choose us after rigorous comparisons, it’s a testament to reliability, comprehensiveness, and uncompromising quality—the true embodiment of our philosophy.
Today, with sales and service networks spanning dozens of countries across continents, Science Image stands by its core ethos: efficiency isn’t optional, and reliability isn’t negotiable.
Message
Science Image is unconventional—we don’t chase trends or mass markets. Instead, we focus on niche segments and overlooked categories.
We believe in staying grounded, refining every product and detail to perfection. By mastering the small things and leveraging China’s supply chain strengths and decades of technical expertise, we turn them into global advantages.
This is more than just business competition or brand-building—it’s a powerful statement of Chinese innovation and smart manufacturing, a global technological contribution, which is not just for China, it belongs to the world.
