6. Log into the webpage using the default user name (“admin”) and password (also “admin”). Step 5 - Update the Camera’s Firmware We encourage you to keep the firmware on your NewTek™ NDI®-PTZ1 camera up to date. The latest firmware may contain bug-fixes, provide improved performance, or even enable new features. The update process is not complicated –...
NDI|HX drivers for your computer platform. NOTE: The NDI|HX driver also installs NewTek’s NDI Studio Monitor application, which will not only display the output of your camera, but provide easy access to its settings. It even includes built-in PTZ controls.
Hint: These front panel lights do dual duty, serving as Tally lights as discussed later. Your NewTek NDI-PTZ1 is already sending NDI audio and video to your local network. We’ll talk about how to access it soon, but first let’s discuss how to manage configuration settings and options.
Section 2.2. Windows platform users can launch Studio Monitor from the Start menu or App list (Figure 2-2), where it will appear in the NewTek NDIHX Driver folder. FIGURE 2-2 OS X users will also find a new Studio Monitor application available to them after installing the NDI|HX driver for their platform.

It is no surprise, then, that efficient, economical, non-linear video transfer in IP space is augmenting and even superseding traditional linear connection methods (SDI, HDMI, etc.) and systems. NewTek NDI (Network Device Interface) makes it easy to share high-quality video over a local Ethernet ®...
NDI BENEFITS The NDI concept is simple: You supply a video source – in this case, an NDI stream from your NewTek NDI- PTZ1™. At that point, anyone else on that network can see it and work with it just as if it was a locally connected to their system (unless you deliberately limit access).
