By setting Bitrate Management to NDI MANAGED, the target bitrate will be set in accordance with the NDI®
standard. By selecting MANUAL you are able to manually select a target bitrate. 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 Groups
NDI® supports Grouping which allows you to hide the visibility of video sources to viewers that are not part of the
group. If disabled (default), the video source is public and viewable by any receiver on your network. Click on the
field and type a group name. Receivers can then scan for, and select your group.
Stream Name
You can give the camera NDI® output stream a meaningful name to make identification easier on any NDI®-
capable receiver, particularly on networks where there are a large number of NDI® streams.
NDI Video Format
P120 is capable of outputting independent video formats for both NDI® and SDI/HDMI. This setting affects only
the NDI® video output. Please note that the video rate you select here must be of the same family as the SDI/HDMI
video output, for example, 720p50 aligns with 1080i50/1080p50 but will not co-exist with any 29.97/30 fps based
camera setting.
NDI Audio
Select MUTE to disable the NDI® audio. Select ANALOG to receive audio from the audio inputs.
Stream to Network
You can choose to disable the NDI® output stream.

NDI Failover Source
NDI® has a failover function where you can designate an alternate camera or NDI® source for the receiver, should
this camera become disconnected or otherwise unavailable on the network. Click on the Available
NDI Sources
field to select your alternate source.
Update Source List
Pressing the REFRESH button will add new sources to the list, whereas pressing the RESET button will populate the
list with only active NDI® sources. Click the APPLY button to apply your failover source change.
