Viz SDI I/O Module Operating Instructions

APPENDIX A:
KEY/FILL CONNECTIONS
Key/Fill output using two SDI output connectors is supported as follows:
•
SDI connectors numbered 1-4 show “video and alpha” options in their Configure Channel
Format
menu. Selecting this option sends ‘video fill’ from the source to the designated SDI connector (let’s
refer to it as SDIn) and places the ‘matte’ output on the SDI output connector SDI(n+4).
For example, suppose the unit is configured with 4 inputs and 4 outputs:
o
In this configuration, SDI connectors 5-8 serve as outputs.
o
If the
Format
for SDI 5 is set to a “video and alpha” option in its
Output
tab, SDI 9 will supply
the corresponding matte output.
APPENDIX B:
NDI
®
(NETWORK DEVICE INTERFACE)
For some, the first question may be “What is NDI?” In a nutshell, NewTek’s Network Device Interface (NDI)
technology is a new open standard for live production IP workflows over Ethernet networks. NDI allows
systems and devices to identify and communicate with each other, and to encode, transmit, and receive high
quality, low latency, frame-accurate video and audio over IP in real time.
NDI enabled devices and software have the potential to greatly enhance your video production pipeline, by
making video input and output available anywhere your network runs. Vizrt’s systems and a growing
number of third-party systems provide direct support for NDI, both for ingest and output. Although Viz SDI
IO provides many other useful features, it is purpose designed primarily to turn SDI sources into NDI signals.
