Stream Type: Choose between the Main or Sub Stream. Server URL: Insert the URL copied from the online platform. Push-Flow Code: Input the auto-generated Key or ID provided by the online platform. There are two “Publish To Server” options available for both Main and Sub Streams. FTP (File Transfer Protocol)

1. Enable the FTP server. 2. Enter the IP address of the FTP server into the Server IP’ eld. 3. Enter the FTP server’s port number into theServer Port’ eld. This should match the port con gured on the FTP server, typically port 21. 4. Enter the FTP server’s username and password into the Server Username’ andServer Password’ elds, respectively. These credentials should match those
con gured on the FTP server. 5. Choose the Path Type’ andPath’ where you want the snapshot to be saved on the FTP server. MULTICAST: On this page, users can con gure multicast for both the Main and Sub streams. This is particularly useful for conserving bandwidth in live-streaming applications.

Stream Type: Main and Sub Stream options SRT Streaming: Enable: Caller, Listener and Rendezvous selection. Caller: Set the source or destination device as the initiator of the SRT streaming session. Note, Caller mode only is sent to one receiver.
1. The Caller device must know the IP address and port number of the Listener device. 2. Enter the Destination IP and Port # accordingly. Stream ID set to 1 or default and the latency (between Caller and Listener) can be adjusted from 20 to 5000ms. Listener: Set the device to wait for a request to start an SRT streaming session. The Listener device just needs to know that it should listen to the SRT streaming on a speci c port. Enter the Port # accordingly. Stream ID is set to 1 or default and the latency (between Caller and Listener) can be adjusted from 20 to 5000ms. Rendezvous: Allows two devices to use the same port to start an SRT session. Both source and destination must be in Rendezvous mode. Enter the Destination IP and Port # according. NOTE: AES Encryption is available for all three modes (Caller, Listener and Rendezvous) and can be adjusted to: 128,192 or 256-bit encryption to ensure end to end security (no passphrase is required). NDI

This name will be used to identify the camera on the network. Channel Name: Enter a name for the channel. This helps in organizing multiple streams from different cameras. Multicast: Enable or disable multicast streaming. When enabled, the camera can send streams to multiple destinations. Multicast IP: Enter the multicast IP address if multicast is enabled. Mask: Enter the subnet mask for the multicast IP. Time To Live: Set the TTL value for multicast packets. This value determines the number of hops the packet can take before being discarded. Web Control: Enable or disable web control. When enabled, you can control the camera via a web interface. Failover: Enable or disable the failover function. When enabled, the camera can switch to a backup source if the primary source fails. NDI | HX: Select the NDI version for the camera. Options include NDI | HX2 and NDI | HX3. Access Manager: This section manages the access settings for the camera. Group Name: Enter the group name to control access to the camera. Default is “Public.” Discovery Server: Enable or disable the discovery server. When enabled, the camera will use a discovery server to advertise its presence on the network. NDI Discovery Server IP Address: Enter the IP address of the NDI discovery server.

Tips for Con guring Your NDI HX3 Indoor Camera Ensure that the NDI Encoder is enabled for the camera to stream video over the network. Use a descriptive NDI Name and Channel Name to easily identify your camera and its stream on the network. Enable Web Control if you need to manage the camera remotely through a web interface. If using multicast, ensure your network supports it and con gure the multicast IP, mask, and TTL accordingly. Use the failover option to provide redundancy and avoid disruptions in the video stream. Choose the appropriate NDI version to match your network and usage requirements. Set a group name to manage access control if needed. If you have a discovery server, enable it and enter the correct IP address to facilitate the camera’s discovery on the network.
