CV420-30X-NDI Manual

Safety Instructions

1. Operation

1.1 Use camera in the recommended operating environments.

1.2 Do not place the camera in tilted position.

1.3 Do not place the product on an unstable cart, stand or table.

This section explains how to quickly configure the Marshall CV420-30X-NDI camera with NDI®|HX.

It also explains how to update the device, and where you can find additional NDI software to extend your
workflow. Complete NDI® Tools can be found here: https://www.ndi.tv/tools/

Here you will choose whether you will require NDI® Tools for Windows or Mac and download.

After completing this short section, you will be all set to begin using your new NDI®|HX camera.

OVERVIEW: Unlike typical cameras, CV420-30X-NDI leverages the easy plug-n-play benefits of the NDI-based
IP workflow supported by leading video software and hardware developers around the globe.

GETTING READY: Your new CV420-30X-NDI uses the NDI®|HX protocol for audio/video transmission, and
more. Your first step will be to install NDI|HX drivers if using a TriCaster, or Microsoft HEVC decode on non­TriCaster systems, as appropriate for your computer platform or device.

1. Navigate to ndi.tv/formats in your web browser and follow the relevant directions to download and install
the drivers for your computer platform. NOTE: The NDI|HX driver also installs NewTek’s NDI Studio
Monitor application, which will not only display the output of your camera but also provide easy access
to its settings. Also contains built-in PTZ controls.

2. NDI Studio Monitor and other useful NDI tools can be found here: https://www.ndi.tv/tools/

3. Then simply plug the Ethernet (NDI) port to same Network your computer or Newtek equipment are
plugged into and off you go.

1.4 Do not use this product near water, extreme humidity or high heat.

1.5 Use recommended ¼”-20 mounts and attachments.

1.6 Use the power supply that is provided in box.

1.7 Always take the following precautions when handling the power plug. Failure to do so
may result in sparks, shock or fire:

• Ensure the plug is free of dust before inserting it into a socket.

• Ensure that the plug is inserted into the socket completely and securely.

1.8 Do not overload wall sockets, use long extension cords, or plug camera into multi­ output power strips.

1.9 Do not block vents on the camera body as they provide ventilation and prevent the
product from overheating.

1.10 Do not open or remove camera body, camera warranty is void if opened.

1.11 Unplug the product from the wall outlet and consult a licensed service technician when
the following conditions arise:

• f the power cords are damaged or frayed.

• If liquid is spilled into the product or the product has been exposed to rain or water.

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.”

OPTIONAL – for Microsoft Windows® users, downloading and installing the NewTek NDI® Tools pack,

available at no cost from ndi.tv/tools/, the download pack will provide learning tools and utilities to maximize
your NDI®|HX experience.

FINAL NOTE – if you are experiencing any problems with the NDI® platform, NDI® software, NDI® drivers

please contact Newtek for technical assistance or join the NDI community to review HOW-TO videos, social
media, forums, blogs: www.ndi.tv/community
