Ensure NDI is activated on your device (go to Setting > System > NDI to verify). Switch to Encoder mode. Go to Setting > Streaming > LAN Stream. Select your desired NDI quality: NDI|HX1, NDI|HX2, or NDI|HX3. Click Save and enable the NDI stream. WAN streaming (RTMP/SRT) will be automatically disabled when NDI is active.
ZowieBox Pro is equipped with NDI 6.3.2 version, which is the latest generation of NDI protocol standard. Supports NDI|HX3 encoding and decoding, with higher compression efficiency and lower end-to-end latency Optimized network adaptation mechanism, more stable transmission under weak network environment Fully backward compatible with NDI|HX1 and NDI|HX2 devices Enhanced NDI Bridge and Discovery Server...
Go to NDI Sender settings. Enable Multicast. Configure multicast IP (default 239.255.0.0), subnet mask, and TTL. Save settings. Note: Ensure your network switch/router supports IGMP multicast, otherwise NDI devices may not be discoverable.
Deploy the official NDI Discovery Server program on a server or computer that can communicate with all target network segments. On each NDI device (including ZowieBox Pro), configure the NDI Discovery Server address uniformly. On ZowieBox Pro, enter the NDI settings page, enable Discovery, and fill in the server IP. All devices will register their...
With software version 1.0.2.6 or later, ZowieBox will support NDI over WIFI. It allows users to use NDI without the restriction of LAN cables. To turn on the NDI over WiFi function, just follow the three simple steps below: 1.Check your software version, this feature can only be turned on in version 1.0.2.6 or later. 2.Click...
[To be confirmed with product team for detailed deployment guide] The NDI Bridge function is used for safe and low-latency transmission of NDI streams across the public network. It works with the NDI Bridge server deployed on the public network to realize remote NDI pulling and pushing. Supports end-to-end encryption to ensure transmission security Adaptive...
Install the official OBS NDI plugin on your computer running OBS Studio. Make sure the computer and ZowieBox Pro are on the same LAN. Enable NDI output on ZowieBox Pro (Encoder mode). Open OBS, add a new source and select NDI Source. In the source configuration, select the NDI source named after ZowieBox Pro from...
Ensure that vMix and ZowieBox Pro are in the same local area network. Enable NDI output on ZowieBox Pro and keep it in Encoder mode. Open vMix, click Add Input > NDI / NDI|HX. vMix will automatically scan all NDI sources in the LAN, find the corresponding ZowieBox Pro source and select it. After adding,...

ZowieBox Pro only supports NDI|HX series streams. Full NDI and NDI|HB sources need to be converted by NDI Tools Bridge before they can be decoded normally. Download and install NDI Tools on a computer in the same LAN. Run the NDI Bridge function. Add the target Full NDI / NDI|HB source as the input source....
Go to the NDI advanced settings page. Find the NDI Group option, fill in the custom group name. Devices in the same group can discover each other, and devices in different groups are isolated from each other. To enable multicast mode, turn on the Multicast switch, and configure the multicast IP address and TTL parameters....
The table below shows the reference bitrate of NDI streams at common resolutions and frame rates (at 125% quality setting, unit: Mbps): Resolution Frame Rate NDI|HX1 NDI|HX2 NDI|HX3 1080p 30fps 12 8 6 1080p 60fps 22 16 13 2160p (4K) 30fps 45 34 28 2160p (4K) 60fps 110 55 28 The actual bitrate can be...
No. Due to hardware bandwidth and processing limitations, NDI streaming and WAN RTMP/SRT streaming cannot be enabled at the same time. Local services (RTSP, SRT Listener) and local recording remain active alongside NDI.
NDI® 6 (Network Device Interface) is the latest and most significant evolution of the industry-standard IP video protocol developed by Vizrt. While previous NDI versions were primarily optimized for high-speed local area networks (LANs), NDI 6 breaks those boundaries by natively integrating professional **WAN (Wide Area Network) connectivity** and broadcast-grade **HDR (High Dynamic Range)** color...
