Receiving NDI® Video
There are many applications that support receiving the NDI® signal that the P240 produces. Each application will
vary slightly on how you choose your source.
NewTek Studio Monitor
NDI® Tools is a free suite of applications designed to introduce you to the world of IP video and is available here.
The included Studio Monitor application allows you to monitor many NDI® sources on a standard Windows
computer. Once Studio Monitor is launched on your computer, simply right click anywhere in the interface and
select your camera from the dropdown list.
Once connected to the camera, a conguration gear icon is displayed on the bottom right-hand side of the video
display that provides shortcut access the P240 BirdUI.
NewTek TriCaster Series
NewTek TriCaster series devices allow several NDI® sources to be received simultaneously, the amount of
simultaneous connections varies by what model TriCaster you have. Consult your TriCaster user manual to
determine how many connections are available on your device.
To select the P240 as a source on your TriCaster, click on the conguration gear icon below your desired source
location. This will display the Input Setting dialog, from which you can select your P240 source from the dropdown
list.
Once connected to the camera, a conguration gear icon displays next to the source drop down window that
provides shortcut access the P240 BirdUI.
