AUDIO 

 

Just below, you will see the 

Audio Source

 menu (Figure 18).  It offers two options, labeled 

Mic In

 and 

HDMI

These determine whether Spark Plus IO uses the embedded audio source (digital audio included with an 

HDMI video source) or analog audio supplied to its 1/8” line level stereo input connector.  The nearby volume 

control governs the audio output level.  The device’s nominal audio level is +4dBu.

Ethernet

and 

Local –Link

 settings NDI Connection. 

1.4.1

 

NDI CONNECTION 

If choosing multicast mode, NDI transmission will be executed in multicast mode.  Click 

Generate, 

a multicast 

IP will be generated randomly, or you can configure it manually and click 

Apply

 to take effect. (Figure 20)
