Creating & Configuring Ndi Sources - Telestream Lightspeed Live Capture User Manual

Creating & Configuring NDI Sources
NDI (Network Device Interface) is a royalty-free software specification to enable video-
compatible products to communicate, deliver, and receive high-definition video over
gigabit Ethernet networks in a high-quality, low-latency, frame-accurate manner and
suitable for switching in a live production environment.
Video is limited to HD and 16 audio channels.
Live Source supports a Loss of Signal state to maintain the channel when there is no
active signal from an established NDI source, but the video (frame rate, frame size, bit
depth, etc.) and audio (channel count, bit depth) cannot change when the signal is re-
established.
NDI Access Discovery Method requires TCP port 5960.
To create and configure a new NDI source, click the Add Input icon in the Sources panel
toolbar and select NDI to display the Configure Source panel:
If you require an NDI source channel from a new NDI source, Telestream recommends
that you create a new NDI source channel and configure it, instead of editing an
existing NDI source.
Note: You can only format IP sources using standard frame sizes and frame rates. See
the Technical Specifications topic in the
Telestream web site for supported formats.
Some controls display only when you enable advanced mode. Select Settings in the main
menu
Telestream recommends limiting IP-based sources to eight, unless testing in your
environment indicates you can support more.
