Probleemoplossing

No NDI Signal Detected

  • Netwerk konneksie: Ensure the Ethernet cable is securely connected to both the camera and the network switch/router. Verify network activity lights on the camera's Ethernet port.
  • IP-adressering: Confirm that the camera and the receiving computer are on the same IP subnet. Incorrect subnet masks can prevent NDI discovery. Access the camera's web UI to verify or adjust network settings. A firmware update may be required to resolve specific IP addressing issues.
  • Software Permissions: If using software like OBS Studio on Windows, ensure the application is run with administrator privileges. Some NDI implementations require elevated permissions to access network streams.
  • Firewall-instellings: Check firewall settings on your computer and network to ensure NDI traffic is not being blocked.

Intermittent Signal Loss

  • Netwerkstabiliteit: Verify the stability and bandwidth of your network. NDI|HX requires a stable network connection.
  • Kabelintegriteit: Inspect Ethernet cables for damage. Try replacing cables if issues persist.
  • Firmware: Ensure the camera's firmware is up to date. Older firmware versions may have known stability issues.

Swak beeldkwaliteit
