Sources creation

NDI

We will now declare NDI Live Media to capture streamed sources with the NewTek NDI protocol.
This protocol enables video streams to be transported using a traditional TCP/IP network. Many applications feature streaming NDI over the network.
You can find some free tools on the Newtek website (NDI plugin for VLC, integration with Adobe suite, testing tools).
Many PTZ cameras support this protocol. There are also conversion boxes between NDI and HDMI/SDI.

The Modulo Player server can also stream a Monitoring or an Output in NDI .

*Note: For the rest of the tutorial we will assume that 4 NDI streams are currently available on your network.

In the Media tab click on the button and select NDI Source.

Select the NDI Media that was created and click on the button to open the NDI Media Editor

In this window you can rename the source to easily identify it in the project and select which NDI stream to capture from the Streams list.

If the NDI stream does not appear, you can click on the Refresh button to search for sources available on the network.

Repeat this operation 4 times to add the 4 NDI sources available on the network.

Counter

Click on the button again and select the media Counter

Select the Counter that was created and click on the icon to configure it.

Set the Timecode type to Countdown and set the time to 2 minutes.

Set the text to TIME LEFT :

We will position this media on the SPEAKER screen to indicate the remaining time to the Speaker in overlay above the NDI Powerpoint stream.
