This part covers NDI usage and configuration.
General
NDI source naming standard is: ’MACHINE_NAME (SOURCE_NAME)’
Eg.: say your computer is called Personal PC and you stream through VLC Media Player. Source will then be named ‘Personal PC (VLC)’.
Config editor setup for input
If you try connecting to a source, you only need to specify either source name (assuming there’s only one source with this name in your network) or machine name (assuming there’s only one NDI source streaming on your machine). If you want to be sure, specify both machine and source name.
Two input boxes (NDI Source Input, NDI Machine Input) get enabled when selecting NDI Video I/O HW. As mentioned above, at least one of them has to be set in order to work correctly.
If you’re unsure about your source/machine name, write any name into source/machine input box, run the app and check Paint’s log. Paint will try to connect to your source/machine but will probably fail (since the source is non-existent). It will however look for other available sources in your network and print their names into log. You can then specify the names correctly.
NewTek NDI
NDI driver is not bundled in Paint installations. For using NDI, please install NDI Runtime (driver) here (https://da.chyron.com/da/download-file.php?filID=19947).
Config editor setup for output
Paint can also stream through NDI protocol. Specify source name in NDI Source Output text box.
