Controlling the EC20 using NDI®

The EC20 supports control and monitoring through the use of the NDI protocol. NDI stands for Network Device interface and is a software specification developed by NewTek. You can learn more about NDI here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_Device_Interface, and here: https://ndi.video/.

 

One way to control the EC20 using NDI is through the suite of NDI Tools provided by NewTek on their site. After installing their tools you can use the NDI Studio Monitor tool to monitor the video stream from the EC20, as well as control various aspects, such as the P/T/Z functions.

 

It's important to note that when monitoring the camera via NDI the image seen is from the First Stream. See: Configure Output Video Settings. Viewing the stream via NDI when the Encode Codec is set to MJPEG is not supported and an all black image or a frozen image will be seen. The controls should still function.
