# HDMI Encoder

1. Check for [Interoperability](/all/developing-with-ndi/ndi-certified/certification-guidelines/interoperability-requirements.md)
2. Run an HDMI cable out of an open monitor port on your PC into the encoder. This tells the PC that the encoder is now a monitor
3. Connect the encoder to the network and find it on [Studio Monitor](/all/using-ndi/ndi-tools/ndi-tools-for-windows/studio-monitor.md)
4. Open the NDI Testing application and drag it over to the second monitor. Use Studio Monitor to see what you are doing
5.  Make the testing application full screen, then select the Encoder’s NDI output as the source in the testing application
6. Run the test and save the results as the PTZ camera

(For Access to the NDI Testing Application for Latency and Keyframes, see the [Camera Testing Method](/all/developing-with-ndi/ndi-certified/certification-process/testing-methods/camera.md))
