Mavis at IBC 2025

At IBC 2025 in Amsterdam, Mavis made a strong case that mobile devices are no longer second-class participants in production workflows. With certified NDI (Network Device Interface) support, integrations with cloud platforms, and new monitoring tools, Mavis is positioning itself as an enabler for corporate teams, educational institutions, and live-event groups who need professional-grade video output without large crews or complex setups.

NDI 6 Update

One of the headline announcements is that the Mavis Camera app now supports NDI 6, including full NDI and the more bandwidth-efficient NDI HX3 when receiving streams. Users can send and receive NDI over their device, using broadcast-ready codecs such as H.264, HEVC, and 10-bit HEVC. The app can also handle up to eight audio channels via NDI, each recorded with timecode, providing more precise control for producers in post-capture workflows.

This also means that Mavis Camera can act as an on-the-go NDI converter, bridging into existing cloud or streaming workflows via SRT, RTMP, or content-management platforms like Adobe Frame.io or Mavis’s own Camera-to-Cloud (C2C) tools.

Ninja Mavis at IBC 2025

Another important development is the integration with the Atomos Ninja Phone and with Grass Valley’s AMPP/Framelight X cloud/MAM systems. The Ninja Phone acts as a co-processor, letting mirrorless or DSLR cameras feed into the Mavis ecosystem over HDMI, which means higher image fidelity and support for 10-bit ProRes capture or other formats, while the mobile device also captures proxies or backups. From there, content can stream live (via 5G or WIFI) into AMPP’s cloud environment for switching, asset management, or distribution.

For corporate production, this is especially relevant. Executives or communications teams who run webinars, all-hands meetings, virtual product launches, or branded internal content often want better video and audio fidelity, multiple sources, consistent branding, and sometimes remote presenters. Mavis reduces the barrier: rather than renting or deploying expensive cameras and switching rigs, organizations can invest in a small number of mirrorless or DSLR cameras plus mobile devices and leverage: NDI for source switching, cloud for remote participants, and mobile network/WIFI for field capture. Less hands needed on technical operation, because the app takes care of many of the signal, codec, monitoring, and transport details. The latency, flexibility, and audio-channel support are vital here.

Volunteer Power

In houses of worship and higher education settings, many of the same constraints appear: limited technical staff, reliance on volunteers, and multiple platforms (in-building screens, livestream, and archiving). Mavis’s approach lets a classroom or chapel capture multi-channel audio, combine different video sources, and feed them into existing IP/NDI-based infrastructure or into the cloud. A professor or worship leader can move away from fixed camera zones; monitoring can be handled via Apple tablets or screens, with scope tools and overlays (false color, waveform, etc.) to ensure signal/exposure/framing quality.

One-time pricing (e.g. unlocking full NDI functionality via in-app purchase) keeps things transparent and accessible, which helps smaller organizations budget without surprises.

Mobile Mavis at IBC 2025

There are trade-offs: mobile devices still have limits in dynamic range, lens options, control, and stability, so while Mavis plus Ninja Phone gives a strong hybrid solution, it doesn’t entirely remove the need for good optics or lighting. But for many corporate, education, and worship use cases, the balance of cost, flexibility, and needed quality is shifting decisively in favor of mobile + NDI + cloud workflows.

Overall, at IBC 2025 Mavis showed that for teams with constrained staffing or budgets, NDI isn’t just for big studios—it’s something corporate, educational, and worship groups can use now to elevate their virtual meetings, livestreams, and internal/external content with better audio, better visuals, more sources, and fewer complications.
