Reading before use
If you find that some functions are unavailable in future use, you need to check the following to find out whether it is caused
by improper operation or settings:
1. This product is an audio and video codec conversion device, which only supports streaming and pushing in the local area
network, but not on the Internet;
2. If you find that the video stream is not detected in NDI Studio Monitor, please check whether the stream name of the encoder
has been modified. Multiple identical stream names may cause NDI Studio Monitor to fail to detect;
3. If you see the background picture of the logo up streaming (the background picture set on the [Video] page of the encoder) on
the encoder end through the software that supports NDI, and you cannot input the source, please click the right side of the
[Video] page on the web end. Click the [Stop Now] button on the side;
4. If there is a login failure due to the upgrade, please clear the browser cache and refresh the page and log in again;
5. If you find that the web page cannot be accessed, please check whether the IP address of the PC or mobile phone and the IP
address of the NDI® HD mini are in the same network segment;
. If you power on the device and the screen displays the IP address as "192.168.8.8", it means that your box has enabled the
DHCP function means automatic setting of IP address mode and there is no router in the connected link. At this time, you only
need to Add a router to the road, and then power off and restart the device to redistribute it to the IP with routing; if you only
have a switch, you need to adjust the IP address information of your local PC or mobile phone to the network segment of
"192.168.8.1", Then enter the webUI of this device. After entering, you need to set the IP address mode to manual mode, enter
the IP address information, and keep it in the same LAN segment as the local PC or mobile phone.

3 power-on methods of NDI HD mini
①Use the standard DC-12V power supply of the product to power on, and insert the network cable to connect to the LAN;
②Power on using USB, and insert the network cable to connect to the LAN;
③Connect to the LAN at the same time through the power of the network cable connected to the POE (Power Over Ethernet)
switch.
OLED screen display instructions
After power on, the NDI® HD mini will display four lines of information on the front OLED screen. The specific information is listed
as follows:
The first line: displays the current mode of the NDI® HD mini, there are two types: encoding and decoding. The encoding is: "NDI
Encoder"; the decoding is: "NDI Decoder".
Second line: Displays the name of the NDI stream currently being encoded or decoded by NDI® HD mini. Such as:
"NDI:SCIM-2020" (encoding end) or "NDI:SCIENCEIMAGE" (decoding end).
The third line: cyclically display the resolution of the video stream currently being encoded or decoded and the type of the
connected video source interface. In the encoding state, first display the resolution of the input video stream, for example: "VI:
1920x1080P60"; then switch to the connected video source interface type such as "CH: SDI-1 HDMI-0" (0 means no input, 1 It has
input); the video source interface type connected in the decoding state is displayed as: "CH:NDI-1", which means it is in the state
of decoding NDI video stream. When there is no input at the encoding end, it will display "VI:0x0/0" first and then "CH:SDI-0
HDMI-0".
Fourth line: cyclically display the current device's IP address, the real-time temperature of the main chip, and the frequency of the
audio codec. For example: "192.168.1.24" and "CPU:56 AI:48khz" are displayed cyclically.
Note: If the NDI® HD mini has been set to the decoding mode, the screen will first display the default initialization encoding
state each time it is first powered on, and it will resume displaying the currently set decoding state after waiting for about 30
seconds.
