The NDI Controller is a GUI based virtual NDI Matrix. The NDI Controller creates virtual targets that you can select from your NDI Decoder (E.g. Tricaster or a Birddog)
In MTX SETUP you can add sources based on NDI discovery, or manually added sources, if you wan't a sources that in another sub-net.
There are 4 salvos (presets) for fast recalling a setup. You can store a prsset by press-and-hold the button for 0.6 sec.
It has support for external control by Ember supported software/hardware (e.g. VSM) And has a simple REST API for other external control.
If you open up a brower and type:
localhost:5901/?target=3 (or whatever ip-address the NDI-Controller is located)
You'll get a personal source selector for a single target
In Mtx setup under targets you can select what sources that should be excludes for a specific target.
When adding a source you can either type in manually (e.g. adding a non-discoverable source) or select a discoveret NDI Source.
Pressing RE-DISCOVER will search for NDI sources again.
When adding targets it's possible to assign a Skaarhoj HW panel + number of buttons, and exclude sources on User panels (Web client and Skaahoj panels)
Windows: Run the pre-build "ndi-controller Setup x.x.x.exe" Mac: Run the pre-build "ndi-controller-x.x.x.dmg"
NDI Controller is listening for Skaahoj raw-panels on port 9923 (standard Skaahoj port) In MTX settings -> you can add the serial number of the skaarhoj panel on the target you wish to control.
