Streamline NDI Source Management.
Last updated
NDI Access Manager is a tool designed to give you control over the visibility and discoverability of NDI sources within your network. This tool allows you to manage precisely who can see specific NDI sources through the utilization of send and receive groups. Ideal for enhancing content-sharing workflows, NDI Access Manager is available for free as part of the NDI Tools package.
Download NDI Tools here.
Install NDI Tools and run NDI Access Manager from the NDI launcher or your applications list.
First, select the Receive Groups or Send Groupstabs to determine if you are creating NDI groups that allow devices to send or receive specific NDI signals. Them, create a new NDI group by clicking New.
To configure a group, you should attribute it to a name. You can also add a small memo/note with additional information about the group.
By entering group names, you restrict NDI sources to only those devices that have the corresponding Group in their Receive Groups list.
If you want to explore some examples of how to connect different devices to NDI Groups, check the scenarios in our White Paper.
Use the External Sources tab to reach NDI-enabled devices on subnets that are not on your current network.
Add external sources by specifying IP addresses, providing easily identifiable names, and managing settings.
Explore advanced settings in the "Advanced" tab to address specific network challenges:
Configure transport modes, multicast ranges, network mapping, and more.
To streamline the management of NDI signals, particularly in larger networks, designate an NDI discovery server, set preferred , and define device aliases.
Always ensure network configurations align with IT guidelines for better network compatibility and optimal performance. Consult with your IT department before configuring NDI Access Manager.
