Section 1 INTRODUCTION AND SETUP
This section explains how to connect and configure your NewTek NDI|HX-PTZ2
camera. It also explains how to update the device, and where you can find
additional NDI® software to extend your workflow. After completing this short
section, you’ll be all set to begin using your new camera.
1.1 OVERVIEW
Thank you for purchasing this NewTek product. NewTek is proud of its record of
innovation and commitment to excellence in design, manufacture, and superb
product support.
NewTek NDIHX-PTZ2 is the best way to acquire live video for input into modern
production workflows. Working with the latest version of NDI®, this pan-tilt-
zoom (PTZ) camera transmits full HD video formats up to 1080p 60 directly to
NDI-compatible receiving devices across the network. It is uniquely suited for
IP-based live production and streaming, and other single, and multi-camera
applications to include sports and event coverage, video conferencing, lecture
capture, distance learning, media communications, and surveillance.
Your NewTek NDI|HX-PTZ2 camera delivers amazing functionality in a compact
package. Prosumers and video professionals alike will
appreciate the convenience and flexibility it provides in connection with
video production and capture.
Unlike typical cameras, PTZ2 leverages the ground-breaking benefits of the
NDI-based IP workflow supported by leading video software and hardware
developers around the globe. This manual will assist you to install and
configure your new product.
1.2 GETTING READY
Your PTZ2 device uses the NDI|HX protocol for audio/video transmission, and
more.
To download the NDI|HX driver, and receive the latest version of NDI 4.5.3,
(at no cost) head over to ndi.tv/tools/ and install the NewTek NDI Tools Pack
for Windows or Mac.
The NDI Tools Pack will provide a very useful array of additional NDI apps,
including the NDI Studio Monitor application, which will not only display the
output of your camera, but provide easy access to its settings, also includes
built-in PTZ controls.
Page | 1
NOTE: The End User License Agreement under which you use the NDI|HX driver
specifies that “you may use up to five (5), and no more than five, copies on
separate machines at one time.”
1.3 MAKING CONNECTIONS
FIGURE 1
1. Connect the power supply line cord to an A/C power outlet, and insert the
round power plug into the DC IN 12V socket located at left on the a/v
connection panel (Figure 1). Push the power plug into the socket until it is
firmly seated. Hint: Your NDIHX-PTZ2 supports the Power over Ethernet standard
(IEEE802.3at). This allows you to skip the step above if your network supplies
DC power by this means.
2. Connect one end of a network cable to PTZ2’s RJ-45 Ethernet port, marked
NDI|HX. Connect the other end of the cable to your network switch or router,
or a computer’s Ethernet port.
At this point, two lights on the front of PTZ2’s base illuminate as the camera
performs a self-test. If this does not happen, check your connections and
retry. After a few moments, the standby light will go out, leaving only the
power light on.
Hint: These front panel lights do dual duty, serving as Tally lights as
discussed later. Your NewTek NDIHX-PTZ2 is already sending NDI audio and video
to your local network. We’ll talk about how to access it soon, but first let’s
discuss how to manage configuration settings and options.
1.4 WEB CONFIGURATION NewTek NDIHX-PTZ2 is very easy to configure. In many
installations, all you need to do is supply power, connect a video source and
your network, and you`re ready to go. Sometimes, though, you will want to
access its settings, perhaps to configure login credentials, adjust color
balance, and so on. Note: As web browsers vary widely, you may occasionally
find it necessary to delete cached files (sometimes referred to as the
browser’s “history”) before the display refreshes to properly show some recent
change. This can happen, for example, after a firmware update.
Page | 2
These settings are made available by means of a configuration webpage, which you can access from any suitable device (i.e., one with a web browser) on the same network.
KEEP READING TO LEARN HOW TO ACCESS YOUR CAMERA’S WEBPAGE.
Some devices provide direct, easy access to PTZ2’s configuration webpage.
For example, when you select its NDI output as the source for a NewTek
TriCaster® input, a convenient “Configure” button is shown. Simply click it to
open PTZ2’s web control page.
1.4.1 STUDIO MONITOR
For other platforms, you can use the Studio Monitor application you installed
along with the NDI|HX driver back in Section 1.2.
· Windows platform users can launch Studio Monitor from the Start menu or App
list (Figure 2), where it will appear in the NewTek NDIHX Driver folder.
· OS X users will also find a new Studio Monitor application available to them
after installing the NDI|HX driver for their platform.
FIGURE 2
FIGURE 3
FIGURE 4
Page | 3
Among its capabilities, Studio Monitor (see Figure 3, which shows the Windows
version of the application) detect and display any NDI or NDI|HX sources
available on your network. In the lower bottom left of the Studio Monitor’s
screen, you will find a QR Code. This gives you an option for mobile
management as seen in Figure 4.
LOCATING YOUR CAMERA ON THE NETWORK WINDOWS®
1. Having launched Studio Monitor, click the small menu gadget (`hamburger’)
at upper left to open the application menu. Among other things, this menu
displays all NDI sources detected on your network.
2. Shortly, you should see a new main entry named NDI-PTZ2 listed in the
menu. Rolling the mouse pointer over this label shows the individual names for
the NDI output channels of any NDI-PTZ2 cameras detected on the network. Hint:
Detection of newly-connected NDI sources can take a few moments; in network
settings with a great number of NDI sources available, a complete refresh of
the source list can take a minute or even more. When the sub-menu lists
multiple NDI channels with the same name, the device IP address is shown to
further identify them. (NDI users seldom need to bother with mundane matters
such as IP addresses. ) Select the newly listed channel for the camera you
wish to configure. In a few moments, its NDI video output will appear in the
Studio Monitor window.
FIGURE 5
3. For NDI sources (like PTZ2) that supply a configuration web page, Studio
Monitor displays a small configuration (gear) icon at lower right when you
roll the mouse pointer over it window Figure 5.
Page | 4
FIGURE 6
4. Click the gear to open PTZ2’s web page, popping up a request for you to
enter login credentials.
LOCATING YOUR CAMERA ON THE NETWORK OS XTM
The process is very similar for OS X users.
1. Having launched the Studio Monitor application, use the File menu to
locate a new main entry named NDIHX-PTZ2. Rolling the mouse pointer over this
label shows the individual names for the NDI output channels of any PTZ2
cameras detected on the network.
Hint: Detection of newly-connected NDI sources can take a few moments; in
network settings with a great number of NDI sources available, a complete
refresh of the source list can take a minute or even more.
When the sub-menu lists multiple NDI channels with the same name, the device
IP addresses are shown to further identify them. (NDI users seldom need to
bother with mundane matters such as IP addresses. )
Select the newly listed channel for the camera you wish to configure. In a few
moments, its video output will appear in the Studio Monitor window.
2. The Studio Monitor application’s Settings menu shows an option near the
bottom that lets you open the Device Webpage in your system web browser.
Select this item, and continue as follows.
1.4.2 LOGGING IN
Note: If you were unable to detect your camera using the methods described
above, refer to the sub-heading Network Settings in Section 2.1.2 for details
of an alternative way to locate it on the network.
FIGURE 7
1. Enter the User Name “admin” and the default Password – also “admin”.
Page | 5
1.5 VIDEO SOURCE After logging in, your camera’s options and controls are
shown in your web browser (Figure 8).
FIGURE 8
The first tab shown on this web page is labeled Video Source. At the time of
writing, a placeholder image substitutes for the `monitor’ on the web page.
Below this, you will see:
· Video Bandwidth buttons · Live Pan, Tilt, and Zoom controls · Preset buttons
Hint: Studio Monitor provides an excellent alternative to almost all of the
settings on this first tab.
1.5.1 VIDEO BANDWIDTH
FIGURE 9
Video Bandwidth controls (Figure 9) allow you to select between the default
High bandwidth output, or Medium and Low reduced bandwidth options which,
dependent on your network throughput capabilities and other traffic, or size
of the image required to display on the receiver, may work better for you.
Page | 6
FIGURE 10
The highest Video Bandwidth setting outputs the same video format as you have
selected using the Output DIP switches, located near the 3G-SDI connector on
the camera’s connector panel.
NOTE: The various DIP switch configurations for different output formats are
depicted on a sticker on the underside of PTZ2’s pedestal base. Typically, you
might choose something like 1080p/59.94, or 1080p/50.
From left to right, the other Bandwidth options correspond to SD and 720P
output formats.
FIGURE 11
1.5.2 PAN, TILT AND ZOOM
The Pan, Tilt controls and Zoom slider work much as you would expect. Likewise
the neighboring preset buttons are easy to use.
Simply click Store followed by a numbered Preset button to store the current
PTZ2 position; click the numbered Preset button along to send the camera to
the stored position.
Section 2 AUDIO VIDEO SETTINGS
Click the second web page tab to reveal more advanced Audio/Video Settings
(Figure 11).
Expanding the Video Settings control group shows additional nested tabs with
various
Exposure, Picture, White Balance, and Focus options.
A little lower on the page, you can expand the Audio Settings control group
(Figure 12).
FIGURE 12
Page | 7
FIGURE 13
This group includes Audio Input level buttons labeled Line and Mic, along with
the Volume slider. The switch at left allows you to completely disable audio
output.
2.1 ADMINISTRATION
FIGURE 14
The third tab on the configuration web page is labeled Administration. Here
you will find information and settings related to your camera, and its network
connection.
FIGURE 15
Page | 8
The uppermost section of this tab displays the Device Name and NDI Channel
Name fields, which determine how your camera is identified on your NDI
network. These names are editable, allowing you a convenient way to make
identify the output of specific cameras to other NDI-enabled devices and
systems connected downstream.
You will also see the Hardware and Firmware versions for your camera displayed
in this area, along with its unique serial number. Buttons just below allow
you to update the installed firmware, modify the default network password, or
to power the device down (`sleep’).
2.1.1 MULTICAST
FIGURE 16
Click Multicast to transmit video using multicast, rather than the default
unicast method. A suitable Multicast address is generated, but you can edit
the result manually if you need to. To update the address to another random
value, click Apply. Please take time to consider the following information
before enabling this feature.
MULTICAST OR UNICAST?
Multicast can seem like a bandwidth-saving miracle. Unlike NDI’s default mode
(unicast), multicast does not require a unique stream from the source to each
receiver. When using unicast, each connection to the sender reduces the
bandwidth available by a similar amount.
By contrast, multicast connections do not add significantly to the bandwidth
required as connections multiply. You could be forgiven for wondering why
anyone would ever turn this option off – yet, it is off by default. Why?
This is because multicast requires more careful network configuration. While
you might not notice any issues in a simple network setting; a poorly
configured environment can have serious impact on more complex networks.
Managed vs. Unmanaged
An un-managed (a.k.a., `dumb’) network switch will cause a multicast stream to
revert to unicast. This can have serious ramifications.
For example, even though a device broadcasts a multicast stream, the unmanaged
switch will pass unicast packets to downstream switches and clients. This can
flood parts of the network with unnecessary traffic. It can even slow down the
rest of the network, as upstream devices are forced to wait for responses from
the over-saturated devices.
The net result of such a poor setup can be likened to a self-inflicted denial
of service attack.
· Specifically, it is essential that IGMP snooping be enabled for each switch on the network. This lets the device listen to traffic between other hosts, switches and routers, and identify receiving ports using various IP multicast streams.
· In addition, we strongly recommend that all network switches be of the `managed’ type (see the sidebar “Managed vs. Un-managed”).
Page | 9
2.1.2 NETWORK SETTINGS
FIGURE 17
Controls in the Network Settings section will be familiar to anyone who has
connected a computer or mobile device to a network, and thus require little
explanation.
Typically, your network will be configured to automatically supply IP
addresses to devices you connect to it by means of a DHCP server. Your
camera’s IP Address resolution method is set to Dynamic by default, to take
advantage of this scheme. To assign a static IP address to your PTZ2, change
the IP Address setting to Manual.
NOTE: Should the default IP Address mode (Dynamic) fail to provide a usable IP
address within a minute or two of powering up as when an active DHCP server
is not found on the network PTZ2 will automatically switch to Manual mode
and attempt to connect using a static IP address. The default IP address is
192.168.100.168.
2.2 TALLY
Your camera unit provides `tally’ notification from NDI devices supporting it.
Specifically, the Power and Standby lights and located on the front of the
pedestal base light up in red or green to tell you when video output from the
device is visible on the Program output or Preview, as listed in the following
table.
POWER Green Red Green Off
STANDBY Off Red Red Off
Indicates (tally state) On preview On program On program and preview Not on output
2.3 LENS HOOD INSTALLATION
There are rare occasions when a light source near the camera enters at such an
angle it causes lens glare. If this happens, we have provided an accessory
hood that can be installed to remove the glare.
Included in the installation kit: Hood sheet with double-sided tape edge
(Figure 19) and Fixing tape.
FIGURE 19
Page | 10
FIGURE 18
2.3.1 INSTALL IN 5 SIMPLE STEPS
Step 1
Take the hood sheet and remove the double-sided tape from one end using the
tab.
Step 2
Bend the hood, bringing together the ends and inserting the smaller end into
the slot to the left of the adhesive area. Once inserted, press firmly to
ensure the adhesive sticks.
Step 3 To attach the hood, align the notch in the hood to where the upper and
lower lens cover meet. Push the hood onto the camera as shown.
FIGURE 20 FIGURE 21
Step 4

Align the bottom edge of the hood to the front of the lens and then move to the top position. Here, align the bottom edge of the hood to the front of the lens and confirm the alignment by looking at the camera from the side.
FIGURE 23
Page | 11
Step 5 When the hood is in position, place the fixing label on the point where
the hood meets the camera casing (Figure 24) to ensure a secure fit.
FIGURE 24
FIGURE 25
Below is what your PTZ2 camera will look like with either option, with and
without the hood.

Section 5 ABOUT NDI®
NDI is much more than simply video over IP’. As you begin using it, you’ll increasingly discover its many advantages. Soon you’ll realize you never want to go back to simplepoint A to point B’ methods of video transport. This
section provides a brief overview of NDI and the power it delivers to unleash
your creativity and provide newfound production efficiency. We live in a world
in which virtually every computer system in the world is potentially connected
to every other. Likewise, our countless mobile devices are connected too.
These devices have high quality screens, fast processors and cameras. It is no
surprise, then, that efficient, economical, non-linear video transfer in IP
space is augmenting and even superseding traditional linear connection methods
(SDI, HDMI, etc.) and systems. NewTek NDI® (Network Device Interface) makes it
easy to share high-quality video over a local Ethernet network. However, the
NDI vision is vastly exciting than any mere ‘cable upgrade’. Production
systems using IP to integrate data, video, and audio are transforming live
video production in ways that would have seemed miraculous just a few years
ago. You can think of NDI as turning your network into a video internet’. 5.1 AVIDEO INTERNET’
Like a webpage, each NDI source is instantly available to many viewers and
devices. Wherever your network extends throughout your office, broadcast
studio, hospital, campus (etc.) NDI is ready for immediate display, capture,
replay, production, and more. NDI operates bi-directionally over a local area
network, and supports many ultra-low latency, ultra-high quality video streams
on shared connections. It is resolution and framerate independent, and
natively supports tally, metadata, access management, and more.
Page | 25
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.
5.2 NDI BENEFITS
The NDI concept is simple: You supply a video source in this case, an NDI
stream from your NewTek NDIHX-PTZ2. 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.
For a deeper introduction to the world of NDI, download and install the free
NewTek NDI Tools pack from ndi.tv/tools/, which includes a Getting Started
with NDI guide.
5.3 NDI WEBCAM INPUT
If you installed the NDI|HX driver for Windows®, you were given the
opportunity to install NDI Webcam 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 SkypeTM, Google +
HangoutsTM, GoToMeetingTM, and many more.
When running, NDI Webcam Input adds a small icon to the Windows task tray, and
the first time Webcam is opened a launcher applet will walk you through the
process. (Figure 28).
FIGURE 28
FIGURE 27
Page | 26
Configuring (and using) Webcam Input is very easy: · Simply right-click the
icon to select an NDI source from your network (Webcam Input requires that at
least one NDI|HX source must be detected on the network for this to work). ·
The Settings menu item allows you mute or adjust audio levels, or select a Low
Bandwidth mode, as you might do to make optimal use of your network when a
lower resolution image will suffice.
FIGURE 29
· Afterward, you will see an entry named NewTek NDI Video (or Audio) listed
along with any other qualified sources available to applications like SkypeTM,
etc.

Limited Hardware Warranty
This limited warranty covers only the hardware portion of the Product and
extends to the original purchaser only. Software with the Product, installed
or uninstalled, is licensed to you, not sold, under the separate license
agreement, above, that has its own limited warranty terms.
Except for Factory Reconditioned products dealt with hereafter, NewTek
warrants that for a period of two (2) years from the date of your original
purchase of the Product the hardware shall be free from defects in material
and workmanship, subject to the limitations herein. If a defect is determined
to be covered by this warranty as determined by NewTek, NewTek will correct
it, and may do so using new or remanufactured components.
IF THIS IS AN EVALUATION OR BETA VERSION, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE HARDWARE
AND MATERIALS ARE ACCEPTED “AS IS” AND MAY NOT BE FREE FROM DEFECTS.
IF THIS PRODUCT IS A FACTORY RECONDITIONED PRODUCT, THE WARRANTY IS LIMITED TO
NINETY (90) DAYS. All other terms of the Limited Warranty apply, including
exclusions. A Factory Reconditioned product is a refurbished product that has
been used and/or returned as trade in or for other reasons. Such products may
have replacement parts that are used. Factory Reconditioned products
(sometimes referred to as B Stock) will be noted on the Product and/or
accompanying product literature as Factory Reconditioned, or with the “B”
notation on the front label and/or at initial sign in. LIMITATIONS ON WARRANTY
AND LIMITATIONS ON NewTek’s Liability. NewTek’s obligations are only as
expressly stated herein. NewTek is not liable for loss or damage for
inconvenience or interruption of service, loss of business, data or
anticipatory profits, or consequential, incidental or punitive damages
resulting from the use (or operation) of any of the Product. NewTek’s
liability is limited solely to the repair or replacement of the defective
Product. NewTek is under no obligation or responsibility to enhance or update
the product. This warranty does not cover damage or malfunctions resulting
from improper handling, accident, misuse, abuse, neglect, electrical surges,
failure of electrical power, use with other products not manufactured or
approved by NewTek, installation or removal charges or damages, damage while
in transit for repair, repair attempted by any unauthorized person, or any
other reason not due to defects in materials and workmanship. This warranty is
also void if any applicable serial number has been altered, defaced, or
removed, OR IF THE PRODUCT WAS PURCHASED UNDER FRAUD OR FALSE PRETENSES.
The hardware and software in this product are designed to work in conjunction
with each other. Any termination of the Software License, and any use of the
software, or any portion of the software, not in

conjunction with the hardware, will void all warranties and any technical
support service otherwise available.
TO THE BEST OF NEWTEK’S KNOWLEDGE, NEITHER THE SOFTWARE NOR THE HARDWARE OF
THE PRODUCT INFRINGE ANY PATENT, TRADEMARK, COPYRIGHT OR OTHER INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY RIGHTS OF ANY THIRD PARTY; NO WARRANTY IS PROVIDED AGAINST SUCH
INFRINGEMENT OR CLAIMS OF INFRINGEMENT. THIS EXCLUSION OF WARRANTY AGAINST
INFRINGEMENT IS INAPPLICABLE WHERE SUCH EXCLUSION IS PROHIBITED BY LAW.
To Obtain Warranty Service. To obtain free repair under this warranty, contact
NewTek Technical Support for confirmation, at www.newtek.com, or call at
1-210-370-8000, or write to NewTek,
Inc. 5131 Beckwith Blvd., San Antonio, TX, USA, 78249 to receive a Returned
Materials Authorization (RMA), and deliver the product along with proof of
ownership (such as the original invoice, or a photocopy) to NewTek. You will
be responsible for any costs associated with the delivery to and from our
service center.
Other Legal Disclosures and Limitations. The above warranty is exclusive and
in lieu of all other warranties, express or implied. Because so many states
have different laws that are ever-changing, and because we have no desire to
conflict with these laws, then any term of this warranty or the warranty
limitations that is prohibited by applicable law shall not apply. IF ANY STATE
PROHIBITS EXCLUSION OF ANY IMPLIED OR OTHER WARRANTY, THEN SUCH MANDATED
IMPLIED OR OTHER WARRANTY SHALL BE LIMITED TO SUCH WARRANTY CLAIMS BEING
BROUGHT WITHIN TWO (2) YEARS FROM DATE OF PURCHASE.
ALL ACTIONS ON ANY BREACH OF WARRANTY OF ANY KIND MUST BE BROUGHT WITHIN TWO
(2) YEARS OF DATE OF PURCHASE AND ANY LONGER STATUTE OF LIMITATION SHALL NOT
APPLY. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty
lasts or the exclusion of incidental or consequential damages, so the above
limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may have other rights
which vary from state to state.
The above warranty limitations will not apply in case of personal injury only
where and to the extent that applicable law requires such liability.
For certain purchasers in Australia of certain of our Products governed by the
Australian Consumer Law, the following applies:
“Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian
Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure
and for compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You
are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to
be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.
Goods presented for repair may be replaced by refurbished goods of the same
type rather than being repaired. Refurbished parts may be used to repair the
goods. If you have any questions please contact NewTek at the above address.
If goods covered by this Limited Warranty are defective, NewTek will reimburse
you for the reasonable direct costs which you incur in making your claim
subject to you providing us with original receipts of those direct costs with
your claim.”
This Limited Hardware Warranty will be construed under the laws of the State
of Texas, USA, except for that body of law dealing with conflicts of law. If
any provision shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
contrary to law that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent
permissible and the remaining provisions of this Limited Warranty will remain
in full force and effect.
