GETTING READY
Your NewTek PTZUHD device uses the NDI
®
|HX protocol for audio/video transmission, and more.
Your first step will be to install NDI|HX drivers if using a TriCaster, or Microsoft HEVC decode on
non-TriCaster systems, as appropriate for your computer platform or device:
1.
Navigate to
ndi.tv/formats
in your web browser, and follow the relevant directions to download
and install the drivers for your computer platform.
NOTE: The NDI|HX driver also installs NewTek’s NDI Studio Monitor application, which will not only display
the output of your camera, but provide easy access to its settings. It even includes built-in PTZ controls.
NOTE: The End User License Agreement under which you use the NDI|HX driver specifies that “you may use up
to five (5), and no more than five, copies on separate machines at one time.”
