NDI Encode Settings
Bitrate Management
Because you’re sending NDI® video over your computer network, you may need to be mindful of the amount of
bandwith your video will consume. By setting Bitrate Management to NDI MANAGED, the target bitrate will be set
in accordance with the NDI® standard. This will achieve an optimum balance between bandwith consumption and
video quality. In this mode, the video bitrate will be around 120- 140 Mbps. If you do opt for Manual management,
you may select a target bitrate within a range of 60-360 Mbps. Do this with care, as the actual bitrate may be
greater, straining the capacity of the network and the receiving device, and lower settings may result in reduced
image quality.
NDI Video Format
Here you can set the frame rate of the camera to match that of your production. All cameras should be set to the
same frame rate.
NDI Group
NDI® supports Grouping which allows you to hide the visibility of video sources to viewers that are not part of the
group. If disabled, the video source is public and viewable by any receiver on your network.
Stream Name
Give the output video stream of the camera a memorable name to make identification easier on NDI® receiving
devices.
NDI Audio
You can choose to embed audio from the audio input connector into the NDI® stream or mute it.
NDI Failover Source
If the selected HDMI source is interrupted for any reason, P120 can automatically switch to a pre-determined
alternative NDI® source. Select an available NDI® source for the failover function from the
Available NDI® sources
dropdown list. Pressing the Refresh button will add new sources to the list, whereas pressing Reset will populate the
list with only active NDI® sources. Click the Apply button to apply your failover source change.
