Introduction
NDI Core mainly solves the issue that the NDI encoder cannot be pulled by multiple back-ends at the same time. The video
source is virtualized into multiple NDI channels for output by NDI Core, and more functions such as video source switching
and video play list are integrated.
By creating a play list, users can freely set the program source, dynamically adjust the playback sequence, playback time to
achieve the sequence, loop, and switch playback of video sources.
⚫NDI video sources support NDI and NDI|HX input compatible with any other software/hardware output NDI to the NDI
Core system.
⚫When the Switcher receives NDI|HX, the virtual output is also NDI|HX. If the video source is NDI, the output is also
NDI.
⚫Due to compatibility, it is recommended that the optical module used for the optical port of the device and the switch be
of the same brand and type. If the actual transmission distance is less than 500 meters, you can choose a multi-mode
optical module. For the transmission distance greater than 500 meters, it is recommended to choose a single-mode optical
module.
⚫The device comes with two redundant power supplies. If only one power supply is connected, it will beep all the time,
and hot-swap replacement is supported.
⚫The device comes with two 40G optical ports, which can be connected to the network for NDI input and output.

7NDI CORE MAX Configurations
Click “Resource Management” to add and manage the NDI input, NDI output and play list.
Introduction
Network status：
⚫eno1: NIC name on the NDI CORE server
⚫49.12G/1.37T: Total upstream traffic/downstream traffic of the current device
⚫ The maximum bandwidth of the current network Real-time traffic output of the network
Real-time traffic input of the current network
Resources: displays the input sources, outputs and number of panels.
⚫NDI Source：All user-added NDI video sources, not including those discovered but not added
⚫NDI Output: All user-created NDI output sources
⚫My Panel: The number of panels created under the user

Step 1：Add NDI input sources
Click "Add Input" to add the NDI sources to “NDI Input”. The source can be added with the
following ways
Click "public-auto discovery", all NDI sources under the same network segment of the LAN
and in the “public” group can be automatically discovered. And then select the NDI sources to
be added.
Step 2：Add NDI output
Create NDI virtual output, realize NDI output by controlling NDI input source or play list, and
one single NDI source input with multiple NDI channels output.
Click "NDI Output" to enter the NDI output management page. Click "Add Output" to create
an NDI output channel.

Step 3：Add panel
Click "Panel Control" to create a control panel, configure the NDI input and output with cross
point and IO panel, and unicast and loop.
Introduction
⚫NDI Channel Name: output NDI channel name. Please use different names for multiple NDI outputs. The combination
of text, numbers and symbols are supported. When there are multiple control panels, the panels can use the same output
channel, and if the output is not locked to any one panel, it can be switched to.
⚫For more details, please refer to the user manual.

Step 4：Crosspoint and IO panel
Configure the NDI input and output by the crosspoint. The green square indicates that the NDI
input sources will output from the NDI output channels.
In the "IO Panel", except the display, all the other operations is exactly the same as "Cross
Point". Click the OUT1, you can see that the first NDI source is displayed in green, indicating
that the NDI video source is output from OUT1, when click the second video source, and it
turns green, it means that the second one is output from OUT1.
Introduction
⚫General: add the NDI source and NDI output channels by click "Manage" on the right side of NDI input and NDI output.
⚫NDI source status: the resolution and frame rate of the NDI sources, and the video and audio real-time encoding bit rate
of the inputted sources.
⚫NDI output: the NDI output channel created when the panel is added. When there is a device at the back end to create a
certain output, the output status displays the decoded resolution, frame rate, video and audio bitrate.
⚫Play list: when the NDI output channel selects “Loop”, all the NDI input video sources in the list will be displayed. A
circle of time progress status will appear on the right side of the video source.
⚫Crosspoinnt/IO Panel: configure the NDI input and output by the crosspoint. The green square indicates that the NDI
input sources will output from the NDI output channels.
⚫For details, please refer to the user manual.
