NDI’s superb performance over standard 1Gbit/s networks makes it possible to transition facilities to an
incredibly versatile IP video production pipeline without negating existing investments in SDI infrastructure,
or costly new high-speed network installations. NDI|HX is a high-efficiency NDI mode expressly designed to
facilitate wifi and long distance connections.

NDI

BENEFITS
The NDI concept is simple: You supply a video source – in this case, an NDI stream from your
NewTek NDI|HX PTZUHD. 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).
In this brave new world of IP video, you hardly need to think about capture cards, SDI, HDMI connections,
a/v formats, etc. You also enjoy freedom from dependency on distribution amps, video matrix routers, and
the like. There are many hundreds of software and hardware systems with native NDI input and output
support – both commercial and open source. Now you can supply your video to these without running bulky
cables over long distances.
More than simply replacing a cable, though, NDI enables multiple applications to access the same sources at
the same time. For example, you might simultaneously send high-quality, low latency video to your video
mixer system, while also streaming it and capturing it elsewhere on your network.

, which includes a Getting Started with NDI guide.
4.3
NDI VIRTUAL INPUT
If you installed the NDI|HX driver for Windows
®
, you were given the opportunity to install NewTek NDI
Virtual Input at the same time. This is a very useful application
that allows you to make a designated NDI source available on the
local as a proxy ‘webcam’.
In turn, this means that you can quickly and flexibly assign NDI
sources from your network to supply video to applications like
Skype™, Hangouts™, GoToMeeting™, and many more.
Hint: At the time of installation, you will be asked whether you
would like to Virtual Input to be launched automatically when
you boot the system. In most situations you may want to choose
this option.
When running, NDI Virtual Input adds a small icon to the
Windows task tray (Figure 16).
