You can define and change the NDI stream name of this codec on the network without
restarting the device to distinguish different NDI codec.
In NDI encoding mode, users can flexibly set a variety of NDI parameters, such as NDI
stream name, picture frame, frame rate, encoding volume, input source priority, Tally
display switch, Intercom switch, optical tranceiver turn or off etc.
In addition, one of the most important auxiliary functions is that you can convert,
transform and output any format you want without affecting NDI coding. The converted
format will be output simultaneously through NDI and SDI / HDMI interface.

NDI stream output volume adjustment. 0dB is the initial volume.
You can select any background picture as the NDI source as you like or needs.
When the bandwidth of the network is not ideal, the bit rate bandwidth of NDI can be
adjusted to a minimum of 20M.
The tally function is turned on by default. You can turn off the tally light when you don't
need it

Decoding
"Decoder Volume" adjusts the volume of NDI decoding output to display device, such as
output to TV, etc.
If this device is used as a decoder(OLED will display Decoder), you need to select an NDI
source to decoding, and the NDI source name and format being decoded will be displayed
on the OLED screen.
Click the number of the NDI source you want to decod ( such as is the NDI source
currently being decoded), at this time, the output of SDI and HDMI is the decoded signal
of the NDI source being selected.

Select any format required by the site. No matter what format the video source input is,
it can be easily converted, whether it is NDI stream or SDI / HDMI output, and converted
at the same time.
Therefore, it can be said that format conversion and NDI coding can be carried out at the
same time. At this moment, you have a box integrating NDI encoder and UpDown
converter.
When there is a SDI input, SDI loop out and HDMI output format are all changed.
such as current SDI input is 720p50, you select 2160p60 output, then SDI/HDMI output will
be 2160p60 and NDI output also 2160p60.
You can define and change the NDI stream name of this codec on the network without
restarting the device to distinguish different NDI codec.
You can define and change the NDI stream aspect ration that supports five settings:
source aspect ratio, 4:3, 16:9, 16:10, square.
Support 4 kinds of frame rate settings: source frame rate, 1/2 frame rate, 1/3 frame rate,
1/4 frame rate.

The optical transceiver switch is used to convert the original signal of SDI / HDMI into
optical signal. When device in the NDI encoder status it is the transmitting end and when
the decoder, it is the optical receiving end.
Primary input confirmation of HDMI and SDI input sources.
The priority can be switched freely during NDI encoding (when both SDI and HDMI are
connected to the video source).
Switch of the Intercom function, It needs to be used together with NDI management and
