Bitrate Management
Because you’re sending NDI video over your computer network, you may need to be mindful of the
amount of bandwith your video will consume. By setting Bitrate Management to NDI MANAGED, the
target bitrate will be set in accordance with the NDI® standard. This will achieve an optimum balance
between bandwith consumption and 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. Do this with care, as you will need to account for the capacity of the network and the receiving
device.
NDI Video Format Selection
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
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.
