Facility Control

Hello madames and sirs,

I just watched the video in DashBoard U about adding NDI feeds in custom panels, and some parts of that doesn't clear for me, so could you help me solve them, please? 

The former, is related to adding my multiviewer source on NDI settings, How can I do that, it means, How become my multiviewer visible to my NDI? Follow the photo below. 

The second one, is related how to fill the "sub window (x,y,w,h)" field with the correct position to become my NDIs a program (PGM) and preview (PVW) screens. During the video the presenter said he knew exactly where his program or preview is, typing the miscellaneous numbers on there. What ecxactly these numbers are? Photo below

Thanks!

Most devices do not output NDI feeds directly.   You have to get an SDI to NDI converter, like a BirdDog in order to take the SDI multiviewer and convert it to an NDI source (https://bird-dog.tv/).

The numbers used in the sub-window are the x,y coordinates and the width and height you want to display.  

The way I figured out those coordinates are by just playing with the numbers.   I knew my multiviewer had 4 windows (2x2), so I divided the total width and height by 2, and added a bit of padding to take into account the bars between the windows.   I then figured the top left window was near 0,0, and then added some padding for the bars on the left/top.

So if my total image size is 1080x720, then the top left quadrant is probably at 0,0 and is 540x360 in size.   The top right quadrant is probably at 540,0 and is the same size.   Etc.

You may have to try several combinations of coordinates and width and heights to dial in the exact position of each window in your multiviewer.

Hello Ben,

Thanks for open my eyes for that, because I never used it before. So, understood the needed of using the SDI converter to NDI, my doubt is:

How this converter provide you the name of your multiviewer source? Is it set manually, or is it a name which this converter send you? 

My best, 

I believe the converters have a setting to tell it the name of the NDI source.
