NewTek® NDI Setup

NewTekNDILogoNewTek®'s NDI interface is a powerful network video transport that allows simple, high quality video and audio signals to be transported across standard TCP/IP networks.  Drastic supports NDI in most of its products, including Net-X-Code Server, videoQC, sdiScope/ndiScope, 4KScope, HDRScope, and 2110Scope.  This article contains information on setting up to view NDI streams in Drastic software.

Using videoQC and Net-X-Code Server to view NDI Streams

videoQC is included in, and would be used to view NDI streams in Net-X-Code Server.

videoQC supports viewing NDI sources via the Open Stream menu, in the side bar menu.
