- Real user report - I wanted to share my experience of the Zowiebox by Zowietek.
I initially purchased one to test and have since purchased a few more for my studio set up. I've found them reliable and easy to use. I also keep finding uses for them in different scenarios, both live and recording in the studio. For an affordable price I have upgraded my cameras and made everything sync without a problem.
This compact aluminum box packs a punch with 4K Ultra HD video capabilities, NDI®| HX3, PoE, and more. Here are the key features:

I got all excited about getting this a while ago and when I finally around to it, it virtually doubled in price. So I found the LinkPi ENC1-V3. It's also an encoder/decoder with what looks like the same setup. It would be interesting to see how these compare. Thanks for the review. They make a huge range though. I ended up ordering the LinkPi EVC5-V2 which has 5 hdmi inputs and 1 hdmi output. It will also turn a connected usb webcam into a stream. It has all the codex but I think the NDI | HX license is bought separately. Still a good price compared to the Newtek Tricaster gear.
can this do NDI over wifi?
