Switching from NDI to HDMI Output
The system ships congured with an NDI output by default. To change
the output resolution to HDMI instead:
1. Connect a computer to the same LAN switch/router that the Live
Score Bug device was connected to.
2. Open an Internet browser to http://LIVE-SCORE-BUG/#proles to
access the DMP-8000 Cong Proles page.
3. Select Live Score Bug HDMI, and
then click Continue to conrm.
4. A password prompt will appear.
Use the following credentials:
Username: vnet
Password: dakpassv
Note: You may have to enter the above login information twice.
5. A green check mark should appear. Wait at least 2 minutes for
the player output to reappear on your output device.
Connecting Streaming Device/Software to Live
Score Bug Device
NDI
1. Connect your streaming device (for example, a NewTek
TriCaster) or streaming computer to the same LAN switch/router
that the Live Score Bug device was connected to.
2. Let the Live Score Bug device connect and power on for at least
5 minutes.
3. The device should begin outputting the score bug over NDI.
Select the NDI-0 option DO NOT select "NDI-primary".
The score bug will have a transparent background, so once it is
brought in via NDI, it will be able to lay over other video sources
without additional ltering or keying.
HDMI
1. In order for the streaming device/software to recognize the Live
Score Bug device, an HDMI capture card is required. Connect an
HDMI cable between the HDMI capture card and the Live Score
Bug device as described on page 1.
2. Once the streaming device/software recognizes the HDMI input,
chroma-key out the green screen behind the score bug.
