NDI® HD mini Interface and Indicator
Power on and Start up
For NDI® HD mini series, you can choose two power supply modes: DC input and POE
i：DC-12V Input
Power on with the SCIENCE IMAGE original standard 12V power supply
Always use genuine SCIENCE IMAGE power adapters, 3rd party products perhaps can cause permanent damage.
ii：POE Power supplier
Power up through the network cable connecting the POE (power over Ethernet) with Gigabit network switch
PoE Power over Ethernet(802.11af/at) support
Always use a certified 802.11 af/at with minimum 10W port power capacity and it’s a gigabit network switch.
iii：Power on the USB port
Use USB to power on the device, and connect it to the LAN with a network cable.The port
power shall be at least 10W.
注意：启动后，您会发现字符 SCIENCE IMAGE Tech 开始出现在 OLED 屏幕上，右侧的电源灯开始亮起。
note：If you cannot access the Web UI, please set the IP address of your PC to the SAME ethernet subnet according to the IP address displayed by the OLED.
OLED Display
Displays the current status and parameters of the device
First Line—NDI® Encoder / NDI® Decoder Displays the current NDI® HD mini working modes: Encoding or Decoding.
Second Line—NDI® Source Name / Primary HDMI/SDI Selection
In encoding mode, will displayed NDI® stream name such as “NDI-X” that user could define this stream name on Web UI
Displays the interface selected by the user’s primary input, such as SDI or HDMI
In decoding mode, will display NDI® source which was decoding on line, alternatively display ********* if there is no NDI® source was selected.
Third Line— IN: 1080i50 / CH: SDI-Y HDMI-N
Displays the video format of the current encoded input source or decoded output
Displays whether the SDI and HDMI inputs are recognized, Y is detected, otherwise N
Fourth Line— 192.168.3.166
Displays the current IP address of the device
note：It takes about 30 seconds from power on to NDI® working nomarly. It takes time for linux system to start and please wait patiently.
The flag of successful system startup is the name of NDI® stream in OLED.
Log In
Method 1: Open the IE browser, enter the IP address on the OLED screen and enter the Web UI home page Default user name: admin Password: admin
note：If you cannot access the Web UI, please set the IP address of your PC to the SAME ethernet subnet according to the IP address displayed by the OLED.
Method 2: Open the login page through NDI® Studio Monitor
Find the NDI® source in Studio Monitor(download official website “https://ndi.tv/tools”) and click the SETUP icon in the lower right corner, then you will be enter the Web UI interface directly.
Web UI and Control Interface Dashboard
The device information includes:
i：Display the temperature, memory, running time, network bandwidth, SDI and HDMI input source format frequency and audio frequency of the current device.
ii：Device name, SDK Version（Version of NDI SDK）, Hardware Version and Firmware Version (The current firmware version of the device. You can download the updated version on the official website), MAC Address (the only and shall not modify), Device Address (can be modified at any time in the Web UI), Local Address (the IP address of the local PC or cell phone), Disk Space (flah hardware disk space usage).
Network Setting
1. IP address setting
i：DHCP mode
Click the automatic button to switch the DHCP automatic mode. It is recommended to use the automatic mode (DHCP) for the subnet with a router. When the device is started, the router dynamically assigns IP addresses to the device. If there is no router on the LAN, the device will randomly assign the address of the same network segment according to the IP address of the device in the LAN. If it cannot be detected, the default IP address is 169.254.8.8.
ii：Manual mode
In manual mode, enter the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway, and click the Manual button to switch to the manual mode. Be different from other IP addresses on the network. After the IP address is successfully changed, the device restarts and the WebUI switches to the new IP address.
2. NDI multicast Setting
When the multicast mode is on, that is, UDP (multicast) transmission mode, it has a default multicast address and subnet mask. You can also manually configure the address. Click “Enable” to take effect. When multicast is turned off, unicast mode is adopted, including single TCP unicast, multi TCP unicast, UDP unicast and Reliable UDP unicast. The default Reliable UDP unicast transmission mode.
Encoding
The coding page contains：
In NDI® encoding mode, users can flexibly set a variety of NDI® parameters, such as NDI® stream name, frame rate, encoding volume, input source priority, Tally display switch and External audio embedded setting etc.
1. NDI stream name
In encoding mode, you can change the NDI® stream name under the encoding TAB without having to reboot the device to distinguish between different NDI® encoders. The default stream name is: NDI-X.
2. Aspect ratio
You can define and change the NDI® stream aspect ration that supports five settings: source aspect ratio, 4:3, 16:9, 16:10, square.
3. Frame rate
Support 4 kinds of frame rate settings:
source frame rate, 1/2 frame rate, 1/3 frame rate, 1/4 frame rate.
4. Bit rate
When the bandwidth of the network is not ideal, the bit rate bandwidth of NDI® can be adjusted to a minimum of 20M.
5. Input source preference choose
Primary input confirmation of HDMI and SDI input sources.
The priority can be switched freely during NDI® encoding (when both SDI and HDMI are connected to the video source).
6. Tally LED switch
Program means bright red for Program broadcast, Preview means bright green for Preview. You can select the switch as required, and it is turned on by default.
7. External audio embedded setting
LINE IN 是外部音频嵌入。默认音量为 0，表示关闭外部音频嵌入。当 LINE IN 开启时（LINE IN 音量不为 0），只会有外接音频的嵌入声音。
主音频音量用于调整 NDI 中原始音频的音量，LINE IN 音量用于调整嵌入外部音频的音量。此设置仅适用于耳机和 NDI ®。
Decoding
Decoder：
如果您将此设备用作解码器（OLED 会显示解码器），您需要选择要解码的 NDI® 源，解码后的 NDI® 源名称和格式将显示在 OLED 屏幕上。
单击要解码的 NDI® 信号源的编号（例如，
是当前要解码的 NDI® 信号源）。SDI 和 HDMI 的输出是所选 NDI® 信号源的解码信号。
System
1. Reset login password
To change the login password, click Apply. The new password takes effect upon the next login.
2. Restore factory settings
You can restore the device to the initial state but not the firmware version (the default IP address of the device is DHCP mode).
3. Firmware Upgrade
For firmware upgrade instructions, please refer to the user manual of NDI® HD mini series released by SCIENCE IMAGE.
4. Box restart control
Clicking this button will restart the controlled device on the Web interface.

Control
PTZ Control：
Please refer to the user manual for the use and control methods of PTZ.
Hardware restore factory settings！！
Press and hold the reset key (in the pinhole of the front panel) and power on the device at the same time. At this time, you can see that the OLED displays “system recover”. Release the reset key to start the process of restoring the factory setting. When Tally is green, the factory setting is restored. It takes 20 minutes, please wait patiently.After recovery, please download the latest firmware upgrade on the official website.
FAQ
Q. Why can't the device start?
A. Check whether the device power indicator (located on the right side of the chassis) and OLED screen are on, and restart again with the official power adapter; Do not turn off the upgrade page and power during device upgrade!!
Q. Why not log in to the Web UI?
A. Check whether the IP address of the device and the IP address of the computer are in the same network segment, and whether the IP address of the device conflicts with the IP address of other devices in the network segment; Check whether the network environment is good; Attempt to power down and restart the device.
Q. Why does the device IP address display 169.254.x.x?
A. This is because the device is in the automatic IP acquisition mode in the network settings of the webui, but there is no router in the LAN connected to the device to assign an IP address to the device. At this time, change the computer IP to 169.254.x.x, then log in to the Web UI, change the device to manually obtain the IP, fill in the address, subnet mask and gateway, and click [Manual].
Q. Why is the image output from the device to the display device abnormal in color, sound or picture?
A. Try to restart the device in the Web UI system, or manually power off and restart.
Q. Why is the device output to the white screen of the display device
A. This is because the decoding device does not select which NDI source to solve. Try to log in to the Web UI, check whether the correct coding source is selected under the decoding column, click refresh list and select again.
Q. NDI® decoding is stuck and not smooth
If the NDI® decoded picture is not smooth and jammed, please change the network transmission mode to test the smoothness of NDI® under the condition of ensuring a good network environment.
