2 USER GUIDE
Equipment installation and connection
Correctly connect the power supply, network cable and video input source, and the device
is powered on and started.
Network connection and configuration
The easiest way is to connect the device to the network through a wired connection and
automatically obtain an IP address and DNS from the network without any setup of the
device. (The first time you log in or the first time you log in after restoring factory
settings, you must agree to the "License Agreement" pop-up, otherwise you will not
be able to pull the device's NDI stream service properly.)
NDI pulling flow
NDI has an auto-discovery function. After the device is normally connected to the
network, it can use other tools that support NDI (such as Newtek studio monitor, OBS,
vMix) to automatically discover and pull its NDI video stream directly.
NDI decoding
In the web page menu item, you can switch to the decoding function. The device can
automatically discover NDI sources within the same network segment and select one of
them to decode and output to the monitor for monitoring. You can also manually add NDI
sources across network segments or non-default group names for decoding output.

4 Installation and connection
4.1 Connect Video Signal
Since the N5 and N6 are functionally different only in terms of input interface
(HDMI/SDI), N6 is used here for demonstration. The HDMI signal is connected from the
source (e.g. camera) to the HDMI input port of the device via a connection cable. the
HDMI output is connected to the display device via an HDMI cable.
4.2 Connect Network
Connect the network cable to the RJ45 network connector of the device and the other end
of the cable to the switch, which can also be connected directly to the computer's network.

4.3 Connect Power Supply
Use the standard power adapter (DC 12V/2A) to connect the device, and when the power
is connected, the device power light will be on and the device will start (if POE power
supply is used, there is no need to connect the power adapter).
