Hello,

We have a Newtek Media DS that hasn’t been installed yet but wondered if we were just limited to SDi and NDI inputs our if we could use it for inbound RTMP streams as well.

Hello @Robert Berthel, this would be a question for Newtek , but I can point you to where you can find the official details for the product:  
`[https://www.newtek.com/mds1/tech-specs/](https://www.newtek.com/mds1/tech-specs/)`  
-Only IP input via NDI  
-Output can be RTMP though
