NDI Output to Streaming Device
This section describes an optional method of streaming the NDI
output from the Big Stream DMP via a TriCaster. Other devices/
software may be used instead as long as they accept the NDI video
source. If the streaming device does not accept NDI, the NDI output
must be converted to a video input that the streaming device can
accept using a converter such as the BirdDog NDI Encoder/Decoder.
Note:
The streaming device must be connected into an open jack
on the network router in the control rack.
In typical Daktronics video control systems, the TriCaster acts as
a switcher for up to 4 video inputs. For the Big Stream system, the
TriCaster Mini may also function as the streaming device. For more
information about connections to the TriCaster, refer to
Page 2
