Pre-configuration Settings
This section describes some pre-configuration settings you will need before activating the NDI®|HX function for the SRG-XP1/XB25.
3.1. Set IP address by using the RM-IP Setup Tool
For IP communication, the IP address needs to be set. You can use RM-IP Setup Tool to assign IP address to the camera. Please refer to the RM-IP Setup Tool Guide for more details. The NDI® Tools (provided by NewTek on the NewTek web site) will detect a Camera by using “Name” filed data displayed on the RM-IP Setup Tool. When you use the NDI®|HX function for multiple cameras, it is recommended to change the “Name” in advance. The default camera Name is “CAM1”.
[Note] The DHCP setting cannot be enabled from the RM-IP Setup Tool.
3.2. Change the default password
When the procedure of 3.1 and 3.2 are performed, HTTP access to the camera is available. Please change the default password (initial password) according to the Operation Manual of the Camera.
Ref). The section of [Accessing the Camera from a Web Browser]-[Changing the Initial Password] of the Camera’s Operation Manual.
3.3. Camera’s Codec Setting
The NewTek NDI® System acquires a video stream with an appropriate resolution as needed. In the case of Sony SRG-XP1/XB25, Image 1~3 channels are used. Codec configurations such as respective channels' image size and frame rate etc. are automatically determined depending on "Ouput type" setting when NDI functionality is enabled as follows.

Troubleshooting
When starting NDI ® Studio Monitor, yet no cameras are detected and therefore there is no
camera listed in the camera list on the NDI® Studio Monitor.
[Case-1] Depending on your computer environment (Windows PC), the device detection mechanism may be filtered due to personal firewall settings or anti-virus settings, and the camera may not be detected. In such a case, please review the security settings of your computer or perform remote source setting by using Access Manager as described in the Section 3.6.
[Case-2] There is a report that device detection does not work properly if a network adapter called “Loopback Adapter” is configured on your computer (Windows PC). Installing the software called “Wireshark” may configure a network adapter called “Npcap Loopback Adapter”. If you want the device detection mechanism of NDI® Studio Monitor to work, disabling this network adapter may solve the problem.
The NDI®|HX License Key registration failed even when the [Enable NDI®|HX] button was
pressed.
[Case-1] When registering an NDI®|HX License Key, your computer (the computer on which NDI® Studio Monitor is installed) needs to be connected to the Internet. If the camera and the computer are installed in a corporate network, make sure that the proxy server settings on the computer are properly set.
[Case-2] Once a License Key has been registered to a camera, it cannot be registered to another camera. Please purchase a separate license for each NDI®|HX camera.
The NDI®|HX License Key registration was successful, but the camera image after registration
is not displayed, and the monitor window is black.
[Case-1] This issue will occur when the remote source setting by Access Manager described in Section
15
Technical Guide | SRG-XP1/XB25
3.6 is not performed with the RTSP authentication setting on the camera “On”. Here is some background information on what is occurring. NDI® Studio Monitor tries to make an R TSP connection to th e camera and the camera requests authentication information, but NDI® Studio Monitor does not know the necessary authentication information, then it will repeat connection failures. Once this issue occurs, the “brute force attack protection” function of the camera may be activated in some cases. If there is continuous accessing that causes an authentication error, the computer will be recognized as an “illegal client” and the accessing from that computer will not be allowed for a certain period of time. If this symptom occurs, please stop NDI® Studio Monitor immediately and wait for about a minute (in the case of the camera default setting). After that, please input the information for the camera as described in Section 3.6. Finally, quit Access Manager and restart NDI® Studio Monitor to access the camera.
NDI®|HX introduction
The video playback on the NDI® Studio Monitor is not smooth or sometimes freezes.
This issue may be due to the performance of your computer or the network environment.
[Case-1] This issue may be improved by using the hardware acceleration function of your computer (Windows). Open NDI® Studio Monitor, and choose the context menu, then check Allow H/W Acceleration under [Settings] -> [Video].
[Case-2] Ensure you have a Gigabit Ethernet connection as insufficient bandwidth may be an issue. Please make sure that the network connection is good to at least meet the following conditions.
Packet Loss : < 1% Latency : < 100ms
