Drivers NDI Port Devices

Does the device support multiple devices per computer? This is up to the manufacturer and/or driver, and many only provide support for one device at a time. Check the manufacturer's web site for the latest driver.
NDI Studio Monitor. View or display any number of NDI video sources across your network. Incredibly powerful and versatile, NDI Studio Monitor runs on any compatible laptop or workstation, and allows you to see any available NDI channel in real time, arrange multiple NDI channels for live monitoring, and deploy instances for a range of professional signage and display applications.
NDI stands for “Network Device Interface,” and it is an IP streaming video protocol that was developed by NewTek to simplify sharing video, audio and graphics sources across a network. When an NDI source joins a network, it automatically announces itself through a multicast protocol known as mDNS, and can be seen by other NDI devices.

Devices using a USB connection for downloading and debugging of OS image from Platform Builder use this driver to emulate a network connection. RNDIS driver is required for this purpose. RNDIS driver is a part of the Windows 7 operating system, but the OS fails to detect it automatically.

Before you begin

Driver updates for Windows 10, along with many devices, such as network adapters, monitors, printers, and video cards, are automatically downloaded and installed through Windows Update. You probably already have the most recent drivers, but if you'd like to manually update or reinstall a driver, here's how:

Studio Monitor is not finding my PTZOptics camera(s)
(Note this also applies for Upgrade Tool discovery issues)
- Different Subnets
  - May require using NDI Access Manager
  - May require static entries in the *.json for each camera (PTZOptics NDI JSON Generator)
- mDNS is not configured
  - Typically only an issue with more than 1 switch
  - (Note a router with switch built in counts as one switch)
  - May require static entries in the NewTek NDI *.json for each camera (PTZOptics NDI JSON Generator)
- Network Configuration (VLANs, subnets, segmentation, etc…)
  - Attempt to launch NDI Test Patterns on a separate PC connected to the same network as the PC with Studio Monitor; if you are unable to see the test patterns, NDI source, you must contact your network administrator for further help.
  - May require ports 49152 - 65535 to be opened noting if NDI devices are used on networks with firewalls positioned on the internal network, configuration to allow for traffic between devices in this port range is required.

- Multicast Issues
  - Network is not properly setup for multicast
    - Disable multicast on the PTZOptics camera until the network configuration can be resolved
    - Note this will limit the NDI source to only be pulled to one station at a time.

    - Check the multicast address of each PTZOptics camera and make sure they have a unique multicast address
- Video Settings aren’t configured properly
  - Make sure the NDI Mode is enabled (High / Medium / Low)
  - Make sure that the i-Frame interval is set for double (2x) the current frame rate (fps)
