3 Introduction to NewTek, PTZOptics & vmix Introduction: The NewTek NDI ( Device Interface) is a open source IP protocol for sending and receiving ultra low latency, high definition video and audio sources for live broadcasts. The protocol has been pioneered by Dr. Andrew Cross, NewTek s president and CTO, to become a new standard for the industry. What does this mean for NewTek and the popular TriCasters? TriCasters will now have the capability of working with any NDI compatible device and provide low-latency HD video functionality. Device manufactures can now implement the NDI open source code for seemless integration into a NewTek TriCaster broadcast workflow. What does this mean for PTZOptics? PTZOptics does have plans to integrate with the NewTek NDI in the future. Currently we have no set release date but due to popular demand we have put together this NewTek/vMix NDI Playbook to promote the use of NDI with our products. What does this mean for vmix? vmix has already announced support for the NewTek NDI allowing vmix 17 users access to the low latency IP streaming functionality. This opens the doors for vmix & TriCaster inter-operability in various workflows we will review this playbook. *Some of the technology mentioned is still in Beta. Check with NewTek & vmix for latest release notes... PTZOptics 152 Robbins Rd Downingtown, PA PTZOptics.com

4 Professional Broadcast w/ NDI Overview: The NewTek NDI allows for ultra low latency connections between multiple systems. Therefore various systems can now share resources over a local area network. A vmix system can share video and audio sources with a NewTek TriCaster allowing for flexible deployments for any budget. In the below example we are showing a NewTek TriCaster with various PTZOptics cameras connected. This Tricaster is then connected via NDI to a Laptop running vmix 17 with multiple PTZOptics USB cameras available as video sources.

Consider setting up a line of communication for instant messaging, audio conferencing or remote computer control. With remote computer control the main broadcast studio has additional flexibility...

5 Educational Use Case - NewTek NDI Educational Use Case - Distance Learning - School Announcement Shows In the educational space the NewTek NDI allows educational organizations to affordably connect multiple classrooms to a large school broadcast or announcement show. Each classroom / teacher has a copy of vmix 17 to stream & record lessons independent to the main broadcast studio. On the other hand, the main broadcast studio can use video & audio feed for a school wide broadcast for daily announcements. Main Broadcast Studio (1) NewTek TriCaster 460 (2) PTZOptics 12X-SDI (3) PTZOptics 12/20X-USB (3) Siig 10 meter extension (optional) (3) User PC/Laptop *Windows (3) vmix 17 Professional Classroom A Classroom B Classroom C Tip - Live Streaming Account Setup With a setup like this your main broadcast studio can easily invite a classroom to be part of a campus wide school announcement. On the other hand each classroom can also independently schedule live streams for distance learning and/or on-demand learning. Consider helping each teacher set up their independent live streaming account on YouTube. You can even help develop the network of teacher accounts with association to the main studio. Perhaps teachers already have access to video on-demand solutions such as Blackboard, Kaltura or Moodle.

6 House of Worship w/ NDI House of Worship The NewTek NDI allows for ultra low latency connections between multiple systems. In the example below we are demonstrating how one central house of worship can incorporate video feeds from various houses of worhip on the same network. Because the NewTek NDI provides bi-direction video and audio, each church can now share video/audio resources. This is ideal for sharing views from multiple churches, presentaions, audiences and more. Sattelite churches can even localize content with branding and control for local recordings.
