The NDI discovery server function is a discovery mechanism that is different from the NDI automatic discovery function. It supports NDI centralized registration discovery and cross-network segment discovery. After the specified NDI source and receiver are registered to the NDI discovery server, this part of the NDI source will only appear in the list of registered receivers (not in the list of all receivers), and NDI sources across network segments will also be discovered and connected by the receiving end.

Please download and install the NDI|HX driver from the NewTek official website (https://www.newtek.com/ndi/tools/#). NDI tool on Windows system, then execute Bin\Utilities\x64\NDI Discovery Service.exe.

The NDI encoder configures the IP address of the computer where the discovery server is located in the discovery server, and NDI will register to the server. It is recommended that the server address is configured as a static IP address to prevent the loss of NDI connection due to IP reassignment.

Open the NDI discovery server, and fill in the IP address of the computer where the server located, and the device will search for the NDI stream that has been registered to the discovery server (Please refer to chapter 6.1.1.3 to decoding).
