Assign a source to an input

If an NDI source is currently assigned to an input, a colored LED in front of an input on the interactive rear panel indicates the stream status:

Stream correctly decoded in progress

Decoding speed degradation

Decoding error

Tip

Open the Input tab in the NDI menu to see the details of decoding error.

To assign a source to input:⚓

  1. Select an input on the interactive rear panel.

    The selected input is highlighted.

  2. In the Input tab on the right panel, select a source from a drop-down list.

  3. In the NDI menu above, check the real time load indications of the IP/SDI card (CPU, Network; GPU, FPGA) to determine the size of the buffer necessary to maintain a proper audio/video synchronization.

  4. Enter the buffer size.

  • A load indicator at 100 % indicates an overload. Please check the ACC-AQL-IN-IP-SDI Datasheet for the recommended NDI decoding performance.
  • If the NDI stream does not include audio channels, the buffer can be set to 0. Increasing the buffer size may be necessary in case of unstable network connection to prevent audio pops or audio/video desynchronization problems.
