video quality. In this mode, the video bitrate will be around 120-140 Mbps. If you do opt for Manual management,
you may select a bitrate within a range of 60-360 Mbps but do this with care, as you will need to account for the
capacity of the network and the receiving device.
Video Input Format
Here you can set the frame rate of the camera to match that of your production. All cameras should be set to the
same frame rate.
NDI Group Enable
NDI® supports Grouping which allows you to hide the visibility of video sources to viewers that are not part of the
group. If disabled, the video source is public and viewable by any receiver on your network.
NDI Stream Name
Give the output video stream of the camera a memorable name to make identification easier on NDI® receiving
devices.
NDI Audio
You can choose to embed audio from the audio input connector into the NDI® stream or mute it.
NDI Failover Source
If the selected HDMI source is interrupted for any reason, A200 can automatically switch to a pre-determined
alternative NDI® source. Select an available NDI® source for the failover function from the Available
NDI® Sources
dropdown list. Clicking the REFRESH button will add new sources to the list, whereas clicking Reset will populate
the list with only active NDI® sources. Click the APPLY button to apply your failover source change.
Network Configuration
Most computer networks provide for both automatic and manual configuration of network devices and A200 can
accommodate both.
Static or DHCP
Here you can set the network configuration to either DHCP (default) or Static. DHCP simplifies the management of
IP addresses on networks. No two hosts can have the same IP address, so assigning them manually can potentially
lead to errors. If your network is set up for DHCP, this is generally the best configuration to choose.
If you do choose to go with a Static IP address, you’ll need to add the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway
Address information according to the requirements of your network.
DHCP Timeout, Fallback IP address, Fallback Subnet Mask
You can set the timeout period during which A200 will look for a DHCP IP address. After this period, the camera
will default to the designated fallback IP address.
