NDI® (Network Device Interface) technology provides the ability for multiple video systems to communicate via
the Local Area Network by eliminating the requirement for Video cables like HDMI, DVI, and SDI for streaming,
providing convenience and versatility. The technology was developed by NewTek™ to simplify remote connections
and streaming, capture/playback, replay, and production.
NDI cameras support bi-directional communication featuring ultra-low latency and ultra-high video streams on
shared connections. Network requirements include 1GB Network using CAT5/6 cables for connectivity. Software
programs offering NDI capturing will typically require NDI plugins to be installed.
Note: NDI streaming uses more bandwidth than most streaming devices using standard video cables and capture
devices. For this reason, it is recommended when using more than two NDI cameras simultaneously it is a good idea

2
to implement VLANs. VLANs provide the ability to divide and segment Network bandwidth to optimize streaming
without sacrificing quality of the stream or possible streaming interruptions from other devices connecting to the
network. If you are having issues with streaming smoothly, this may be caused by Network traffic and a lack of
bandwidth on the LAN.
EXAMPLES of standard NDI versus NDI|HX streaming bandwidth usage:
•1920×1080@30 fps: NDI stream requires minimum of 125 Mbps of dedicated bandwidth.
•1920×1080@30 fps: NDI|HX stream requires minimum of 8 to 20 Mbps of dedicated bandwidth.
Common Software Programs supporting NDI Plugins: (These plugins will need to be downloaded for your program)
vMix / OBS Studio / VLC / Wirecast / Epiphan / ProPresenter

3.1 Match Code for Wireless Remote Control
One to One Code Matching:
Press the "set" and "*" keys combined for 3 seconds, LED indicator starts flashing. Camera
will receive the signal and power on. LED indicator will turn off if the code matching
successfully. The camera can be controlled by the wireless remote control only after one-to-
one code pairing. Otherwise please clear the code matching of this remote control or use the
other remote control to pair with the camera again.
If one to one code matching fails, the red LED light flashes for 20 seconds and then will go off,
camera will halt code matching and activate sleep mode; Press any key to wake the camera up
and re-match code.
Note: Upon matching code successfully, please select the camera’s address to control it.
Clear Code:
Press the "set" and "*" keys combined for 3 seconds, LED indicator starts flashing. Camera
will power off and on, the LED indicator will go off if code clearing is successful.
Sleep Mode and Wake Up:
Press any key to wake up the camera from sleep mode.

Direct connection: Connect the camera directly to the computer by using an ethernet cable.
Internet connection mode: Connect the camera and computer to a router or switch and access via the local area network (LAN).
Note: Ensure power and network connections are secured to prevent video issues caused by poor connection quality.
The computer must be on the same subnet as the camera to connect successfully. The device will not be accessible otherwise.
The camera default IP address is 192.168.5.163, therefore the computer must be connected to the 192.168.5.x subnet.
To connect to the camera open the Local Area Connection Properties on the computer.
For Windows users right-click on the internet connection in the lower right corner of the desktop.
Select “Open Network & Internet Settings”.
Select “Change Adapter Options”.
Right-click on your connection (Wi-Fi or Ethernet) and select “Properties”.
Select “Internet protocol version 4 (TCP/IPv4” as shown below and click “Properties”.
