Note: NDI discover is realized via multicast, so it is required to put NDI encoder and other NDI devices in the same subnet, and configured with the IP address of the same subnet and can communicate with each other (can be obtained automatically). Otherwise, the NDI encoder cannot be automatically discovered.

When the device configured with network and NDI|HX driver installed on the PC side, other NDI-enabled tools of the same subnet can discover the encoder automatically. Currently the tools that support the NDI protocol are widely. The following is an example of how to automatically discover and pull NDI video streams by using NewTek studio monitor and VMIX.

• Open NewTek studio monitor software, click the icon in the upper left corner to display the list of device names that have been discovered. The device list will be displayed according to different channel names. Select the device you want to connect, and then you can pull the current video stream of the encoder.

Note: After opening the selected video of the encoder by Studio Monitor, click in the lower right corner of the player to open the Web page of the encoder directly, which is convenient for the management of the encoder.

• Open vMIX software, click “add input” of the left corner, select “more”, which shows it can add various sources. Click “NDI/desktop capture”, it shows NDI devices list. According to device names and channel names, you could select the device you want to add, then click “OK”, the video source will be added into vMIX play source list.
