Unified control for hybrid SDI, ST 2110 and NDI environments
Overview
TSL Hummingbird brings broadcast-grade control into NDI workflows and environments, enabling organisations to operate SDI, ST 2110 and NDI systems together through a single, unified control approach.
Designed for enterprise and public-sector use, the integration supports interoperability, operational clarity and scalability, helping teams simplify day-to-day operation while accommodating evolving infrastructure.
Integrating NDI into the Hummingbird Ecosystem brings benefits to NDI users in 3 core areas:
- Run NDI seamlessly in hybrid environments with SDI and ST 2110 compatibility and a mix of local on prem, remote and cloud environments.
- Select your choice of vendor technology to build your choice of workflow with no vendor lock-in.
- Unified interfacing – use Hummingbird’s wide selection of hard panels or configurable soft panels as a single control and monitoring interface across multiple locations, vendors, technologies and use cases from classrooms and meeting/conference facilities to broadcast studios, podcast rooms and theatres, even integrating your central apparatus room or data centre with a wide-range of SNMP, KVM and GPIO integrations also available.
- Bring professional broadcast workflow automation capabilities to your NDI setup – from Router Control and Tally, to centrally managed room presets, graphics and content insertion workflows and endpoint management.
- Use Hummingbird router control panels to route NDI or utilise your existing control panels to route NDI alongside SDI and 2110.
- Have one system to centrally manage multiple different NDI locations and workflows to facility-wide or even global level and integrate with other non-NDI environments.
NDI Router Control
Hummingbird applies established router control logic to NDI environments, allowing consistent source and destination management across mixed-technology systems.
This also enables NDI to operate alongside SDI and ST 2110 within a common operational model, rather than requiring separate tools or workflows.
NDI Tally
NDI tally offers a wide range of tally workflows in NDI setups, also supporting hybrid environments where SDI and NDI coexist.
Clear, consistent on-air indication across technologies helps operators, presenters and production teams maintain confidence during live and streamed productions.
Designed for Hybrid Environments
Modern enterprise and public-sector facilities rarely rely on a single technology. Hummingbird is designed to support real-world hybrid systems, presenting unified control interfaces across SDI, ST 2110 and NDI.
This reduces the need for multiple control surfaces, simplifies training and allows organisations to evolve their systems without disrupting established ways of working.

Real-World Deployments
TSL control solutions are used in environments where complex, multi-vendor systems must be operated simply and reliably.
Enterprise
Major Financial Institution Auditorium
A newly built auditorium needed a unified control structure for presentations and live-streamed events. The installation brought SDI, NDI and ST 2110 together so users could select sources easily while routing and switching logic runs in the background. A simplified control design covered most day-to-day operation, with deeper engineering access available for advanced productions.
Live Events and Venues
Sphere, Las Vegas: U2 Residency
Unified virtual routing control simplified management of multiple independent routers and enabled confident, rapid failover during a large-scale live production.
Esports
Esports Stadium Arlington
A single, configurable control layer supports fast-paced esports production across high input counts and mixed broadcast and IT technologies through intuitive soft panels.
Houses of Worship
Lutheran Church of Hope
Push-button control workflows support volunteer-led operations across multiple campuses, with engineering teams retaining deep control when needed.
Built for Corporate Enterprise, Public-Sector Operations, Education and Live Events Spaces
TSL Hummingbird is designed for organisations that require:
- Vendor-agnostic interoperability
- Predictable, repeatable control workflows
- Scalable systems that evolve over time
- A clear separation between operator simplicity and engineering depth
