Introduction
NDI CORE MAX 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 MAX, and more functions such as video source
switching and video playlist are integrated.
By creating a playlist, 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.
It is compatible with all NDI- enabled software and hardware sources to the NDI CORE MAX.
When the Switcher receives NDI|HX, the virtual output is also NDI|HX. If the video source is NDI, the output is also NDI.
For compatibility concern, 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 more 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/10G optical ports, which can be connected to the network for NDI input and output.

To ensure information security, please change your initial password first time you log in.
The NDI CORE MAX login port is 84 by default.
4.3 System Settings
When the device is connected to the network, you can enable or disable SSH control, and
change the HTTP port and restore factory settings.
Note:
The screen saver is enabled for 3 minutes by default, which means the screen will be turned off after 3 minutes if it is
inactive. To ensure information security, it is recommended that you keep this option or set a shorter screen saver time.
When entering the [Setting] module, you need to enter the initial password: 123456. If you forget the password, you
Introduction
Password settings: The password setting is not a public module. The user needs to enter a password to check it. The
initial password is: 123456. Please change your initial password first time your login.
SSH configurations: When SSH control is enabled, the default username is ndicore and the port is 22. Clicks [Reset SSH
Password], and the system will automatically generate a password. And then a warning text will be displayed: "Please
remember your password. If you forget it, please press the button [Change SSH password] to modify".
HTTP port settings: Support to change the port.
Screen: Set the time of automatic screen off.

Note
The username and the password both are admin by default.
To ensure information security, please change your initial password at first login.
The NDI CORE MAX login port is 84 by default. Port modification is available.

Introduction
Network status：
eno1: NIC name on the NDI CORE MAX.
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 by the
following way.
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 to realize NDI output by controlling NDI input source or playlist. It
supports 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, unicast and loop playlist are supported.
Introduction
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 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 panel. The cyan square indicates that
the NDI input sources will output from the NDI output channels.
In the "IO Panel", except for the display, all the other operations are exactly the same as
"Cross Point". Click the OUT1, you can see that the first NDI source is displayed in cyan,
indicating that the NDI video source is output from OUT1, when click the second video source,
and it turns cyan, 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 is 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.
Playlist: 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.
Crosspoint/IO Panel: Configure the NDI input and output by the crosspoint. The cyan square indicates that the NDI input
sources will output from the NDI output channels.
For details, please refer to the user manual.
