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.”
1.3 MAKING CONNECTIONS
FIGURE 1
1. Connect the power supply line cord to an A/C power outlet, and insert the round power plug into the
DC IN 12V socket located at left on the a/v connection panel (Figure 1). Push the power plug into the
socket until it is firmly seated.
Hint: Your NDIHX-PTZ2 supports the Power over Ethernet standard (IEEE802.3at). This allows you to skip
the step above if your network supplies DC power by this means.
2. Connect one end of a network cable to PTZ2
’s RJ
-45 Ethernet port, marked NDI|HX. Connect the other
end of the cable to your network switch or router, or a computer's Ethernet port.
At this point, two lights on the front of PTZ2
’s base
illuminate as the camera performs a self-test. If this does
not happen, check your connections and retry. After a few moments, the standby light will go out, leaving
only the power light on.
Hint: These front panel lights do dual duty, serving as Tally lights as discussed later.
Your NewTek NDIHX-PTZ2 is already sending NDI audio and video to your local network.
We’ll talk about
how to access it soon, but first l
et’s discuss how to manage
configuration settings and options.
1.4 WEB CONFIGURATION
NewTek NDIHX-PTZ2 is very easy to configure. In many installations, all you need to do is supply power,
connect a video source and your network, and
you‘re
ready to go.
Sometimes, though, you will want to access its settings, perhaps to configure login credentials, adjust color
balance, and so on.
Note: As web browsers vary widely, you may occasionally find it necessary to delete cached files (sometimes
referred to as the browser’s “history”) before the display refreshes to p
roperly show some recent change. This can
happen, for example, after a firmware update.
