Your new X120 camera has been designed to support the cutting edge NDI video transmission standard. NDI (Network Device Interface) is a high-quality, low-latency, frame-accurate standard that enables compatible devices to communicate, deliver, and receive high definition video over your existing Gigabit Ethernet network. Operating bi-directionally, NDI devices can be auto-detected, powered and controlled over the same Ethernet cable used to send the video and audio. If you have a Gigabit network, you have the potential for a streamlined, interconnected, video production environment. With the introduction of NDI 5, you can now securely share network sources between remote sites anywhere in the world - on a single network port. Even a smartphone can be a NDI source. Transitioning to NDI can also occur gradually. Existing SDI or HDMI signals can easily be converted to an NDI stream and piped where required on your network and converted back only at the neccessary endpoints. BirdDog has been on the NDI journey since the very beginning, and your new NDI HX Wi-Fi capable X120 is just one of our products designed to take advantage of the features and potential of NDI. For more information on NDI, please refer to this page on our website. 5 Whats in the Box?

You can also view a similar online video. Be sure to check the many helpful product videos on our YouTube page. Basic Connections Power To start using your new camera, youll have to decide how you are going to power the device. You have two choices. You can use PoE+ (Power over Ethernet) or, if your network doesnt support PoE+, you can use the included 12VDC power adaptor. If available, PoE is the easier choice, since you can use the same Ethernet cable to power and control the camera, as well as send the video. For the purposes of this quick start guide, well use the power adaptor, so plug the jack into the 12VDC power port on the back of the camera. Network Since were supplying power via the adaptor, the NDI/PoE Ethernet connection will be used purely for NDI video. Let's keep things simple and plug an Ethernet cable directly from your computer into the camera NDI/PoE Ethernet port. Power Up Once youve made the power and Ethernet connections, turn on the adapter power. When first powered up, the camera will perform its initialization routine by rotating to the left and then centering again. When this is finished, the indicator light on the front of the camera will display green (and occassionally amber) and the camera is ready to be accessed. Computer, say hello to the X120 Since we're connecting your camera directly to your computer, we need to configure the network settings of your computer to allow communication with the camera. Navigate to the Network Properties in your computer preferences and make the following settings. Select Use the following IP address: and enter an IP address. The default IP address of the camera is 192.168.100.100, so we need to enter an address where the first three numbers are the same as the camera IP address, i.e., 192.168.100 but the last number is different, in the range of 0 - 255, that is not currently assigned. Usually numbers less than 200 are more likely to be available. The subnet mask can be set as shown. The X120 and the computer are now configured on the same subnet and should be able to communicate with each other. 7 Basic Configuration NDI Tools NDI Tools is a free suite of applications designed to introduce you to the world of IP video and is available here. Once installed, launch the Studio Monitor (Video Monitor, if using a Mac) application. This simple application allows you to view all NDI sources on your network. Right click on the Studio Monitor window to view your camera as an NDI source. In the example to the right, three cameras and a desktop computer are shown as NDI sources. Tip By default, the displayed sources have names that include the last five digits of your camera MAC address which is displayed on the bottom of the camera. Clicking on your camera in the source list will display the image from your camera with the default automatic settings. The BirdUI BirdDog cameras have a web interface (BirdUI) that is displayed by your computer brower and can be used to configure your camera remotely. 1. Click on the gear icon on the bottom right of the Studio Monitor window. 2. In the displayed window, type the default password birddog (all lower case) and click the OK button. The Dashboard window is displayed. The Dashboard shows important basic camera settings. For now, check that the displayed Status is Active and take note of the frame rate that is currently output from the camera (displayed under NDI connection info). This frame rate should be set identically for all cameras according to the requirements of your production. Lets see how to change this and other important camera settings. 8 NDI Encode Settings Bitrate Management Because youre sending NDI video over your computer network, you may need to be mindful of the amount of bandwith your video will consume. By setting Bitrate Management to NDI MANAGED, the target bitrate will be set in accordance with the NDI standard. This will achieve an optimum balance between bandwith consumption and video quality. In this mode, the video bitrate will be around 120- 140 Mbps. If you do opt for Manual management, you may select a target bitrate within a range of 60-360 Mbps. Do this with care, as the actual bitrate may be greater, straining the capacity of the network and the receiving device, and lower settings may result in reduced image quality. NDI Video Format Here you can set the frame rate of the camera to match that of your production. All cameras should be set to the same frame rate. NDI Group NDI supports Grouping which allows you to hide the visibility of video sources to viewers that are not part of the group. If disabled, the video source is public and viewable by any receiver on your network. Stream Name Give the output video stream of the camera a memorable name to make identification easier on NDI receiving devices. NDI Audio You can choose to embed audio from the audio input connector into the NDI stream or mute it. NDI Failover Source If the selected HDMI source is interrupted for any reason, the X120 can automatically switch to a pre-determined alternative NDI source. Select an available NDI source for the failover function from the Available NDI sources dropdown list. Pressing the Refresh button will add new sources to the list, whereas pressing Reset will populate the list with only active NDI sources. Click the Apply button to apply your failover source change. 9 Ethernet Network Configuration For the final part of this quick start guide, lets set up the network configuration of your camera so it can work with your wider network. Most computer networks provide for both automatic and manual configuration of network devices and the X120 can accomodate both. Static or DHCP Here you can set the network configuration to either DHCP (default) or Static. DHCP simplifies the management of IP addresses on networks. No two hosts can have the same IP address, so assigning them manually can potentially lead to errors. If your network is set up for DHCP, this is generally the best configuration to choose. If you do choose to go with a Static IP address, youll need to add the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway Address information according to the requirements of your network. DHCP Timeout, Fallback IP address, Fallback Subnet Mask You can set the timeout period during which the X120 will look for a DHCP IP address. After this period, the camera will default to the designated fallback IP address. This can be useful if you use your camera in other network environments. For example, if a DHCP server is available in your normal office or studio application, the camera will use the DHCP supplied IP address. If you then use the camera in another application without a DHCP server, your camera will always default to the known fallover IP address. BirdDog Name You can give your camera a meaningful name to make identification easier when viewing NDI sources on a receiver such as a TriCaster, vMix or Studio Monitor. Be sure to make the name unique, as no two devices on the network should have the same name. The name can be any combination of 'a-z, 0-9, and . After renaming your camera, navigate back to the Dashboard and click REBOOT DEVICE. The camera will re-

initialize and youll be good to go. NOTE: Your computer will need to have Bonjour services loaded in order to access the unit via its user defined name. Apple devices come pre-installed with Bonjour, while Windows devices need a plugin available from here. 10 Wi-Fi Network Configuration 1. Select the Wi-Fi Network tab. 1. Click the Wi-Fi On button to enable Wi-Fi operation. 2. Select your network. 3. Complete the rest of the Wi-Fi configuration as for Ethernet Network Configuration above. 4. Click the Apply button to save your changes. Youre Done!

PoE+ (Power over Ethernet) PoE+ is a convenient way to power the X120 as it allows both data and power to be sent through the same standard Ethernet cable. The network switch must support PoE+ (802.3at). DC Connection Located at the rear of the X120 is a 12VDC connection port. Use only the DC power adaptor (JEITA type4) supplied with the unit. WARNING Do not attempt to manually move the camera head when the device is powered up. Doing so may damage the camera. Thermal Management Although the camera is equipped with a fan, the entire enclosure is designed to dissipate heat. The main processor is capable of operating up to 100 C / 212 F. Various factors can affect how much heat the camera will produce, and it is normal for it to feel warm to the touch. In extreme circumstances (a hot day/direct hot sun) it is advised to power the X120 via DC as this produces less heat than PoE. 15 Video Output The camera can simultaneously output HDMI, NDI HX, SDI (Black model only) and USB (UVC) video. NDI HX Signal 1. Connect the camera to the network using a CAT5/CAT6 network cable or via Wi-Fi. 2. You'll need to use web browser on a connected computer for camera configuration. 3.

It also allows you to apply firmware updates to your camera. Access via a web browser (URL) The X120 is configured to automatically receive a network IP address from the computer network via DHCP

(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). Most corporate, education and home networks have a DHCP server present on the network to allow this to occur. Usually your Internet Router provides this. If the X120 receives an IP address automatically from this server (DHCP), the IP address can be discovered in several ways, including BirdDog Central Lite software available from here. NOTE: Your computer will need to have Bonjour services loaded in order to access the unit via its user defined name. Apple devices come pre-installed with Bonjour, while Windows devices need a plugin available from here. Accessing the X120 on a network without a DHCP server Some standalone or private networks may not have a DHCP server. After 30 seconds of waiting for an automatically assigned IP address, the X120 will reassign to the designated fallback address (the default is 192.168.100.100). In order to access the BirdUI on a network which is configured to a different subnet, change your computers IP address to match the BirdDog unit. Once you gain access to the BirdUI, choose your IP address to match the rest of the devices on your network. For instructions on setting your computer's IP address, please consult your computer operating system manual or IT support resources. Password Management Once you direct your web browser to the BirdUI you will be presented with the Dashboard. To make changes to any settings, you'll need to log in. Default Password The BirdUI is secured by a user-selectable password. The default password is: birddog (one word, lower case). Password Reset To change the password simply login using the default password, navigate to the Network tab in the BirdUI, and select Change Password. It is recommended to change this password in a network environment where the X120 is shared with other users

(e.g. not private). By entering this password, the user is granted full access to the X120 configuration settings and could interrupt a live program. 25 BirdUI Layout The BirdUI is organized into the following panels:

1. Dashboard Overall view of important information such as the network connection type and video stream format and resolution. 2. Network General network settings such as DHCP IP Address details, timeout fall-

back address and camera network name, as well as NDI specific network settings 3. System System admin functions such as updates, password change, designation of group access and camera reboot. 4. AV Setup Full NDI encode management and audio settings. 5. Cam Control Exposure, white balance, picture and color settings and Scopes. 6. Logout BirdUI logout. 26 Dashboard The Dashboard displays an overall view of important information. 1. Device mode/Source Status/Wi-Fi Strength Encode or Decode. For the X120 this is fixed at Decode. 2. System Utilization Current computer system CPU utilization. 3. Connection Status WiFi and Ethernet connection status and the preferred network interface. 4. WiFi Network WiFi Network name and strength. Full: > -30dBm Good: between 30dBm and -50dBm Medium: between -50dBm and -67dBm Poor: between -67dBm and -90dBm No signal: <-90dBm FULL GOOD MEDIUM POOR NO SIGNAL OFF 27 5. Status a.

Online status of the camera. d. current firmware and MCU version of the camera. e. Ethernet and WiFi IP address and camera MAC address. f. Network Configuration Method (preferred transmission method). 8. Device Restart and System Reboot Click the Device Restart button to restart the NDI stream. This may be necessary after changing key image settings e.g., resolution. Click the Reboot button to perform a camera reboot. Network Ethernet Network tab Configuration Method Here you can set the network configuration to either DHCP (default) or Static. DHCP simplifies the management of IP addresses on networks. No two hosts can have the same IP address, so assigning them manually can potentially 28 lead to errors. If your network is set up for DHCP, this is generally the best configuration to choose. If you do choose to go with a Static IP address, youll need to add the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway Address information according to the requirements of your network. DHCP Timeout, Fallback IP address, Fallback Subnet Mask You can set the timeout period during which the X120 will look for a DHCP IP address. After this period, the camera will default to the designated fallback IP address. This can be useful if you use your camera in other network environments. For example, if a DHCP server is available in your normal office or studio application, the camera will use the DHCP supplied IP address. If you then use the camera in another application without a DHCP server, your camera will always default to the known fallback IP address. NOTE: Do not set the fallback IP address the same as the camera IP address. It is recommended to keep the fallback IP address. BirdDog Name You can give your camera a meaningful name to make identification easier when viewing NDI sources on a receiver such as a TriCaster, vMix or Studio Monitor. Be sure to make the name unique, as no two devices on the network should have the same name. The name can be any combination of a-z, 0-9, and '. After renaming your camera, navigate back to the System menu and click the REBOOT button. The camera will re-initialize and youll be good to go. Wi-Fi Network tab Wi-Fi Turn the WiFi on or off. SSID a. Select the network from the list of SSIDs (network names). The selected network is identified in blue. 29 b. Click the cross to remove a network from the list. c. A lock icon denotes a password protected network. If selected, you'll be prompted for a password. The other settings are same as above for the Ethernet Network tab. 30 NDI Network Settings The X120 operates with the latest NDI Libraries. There are several options to configure the X120 behavior in an NDI network. Each configuration has its benefits, however it is recommended to utilize the default TCP transmit method unless you have reason to change. Preferred Transmit Method TCP TCP is the default method of transmission for NDI. It operates well within local networks with predictable latency and limited jitter. BirdDog recommends that TCP be used for typical applications, and only using alternative transports for specific reasons. UDP UDP is recommended for networks where there is extended latency from one end to the other. The nature of UDP means that it does not receive a confirmation of each packet being successfully received vastly improving performance on busy networks. UDP can have some consequences if there are other issues on the network such as jitter or lost packets as it will not inherently re-sent a lost packet. R-UDP (Reliable UDP) This protocol bridges the performance of TCP and UDP. Compared to TCP, it reduces overall network load (allowing more NDI streams) by not requiring every packet to be acknowledged by every receiver has error correction built in for smoothness and reliability. Multicast Multicast is especially useful for use-cases that require a single source to be received on multiple receivers simultaneously. Utilizing Multicast offloads the distribution of the NDI A/V packets from the X120 to the network infrastructure. You should take care to ensure your network is specifically configured to support Multicast as using it on an ill-prepared network can create unintended network problems. NDI Discovery If you choose to use a NDI discovery server, you can configure it in this tab. By default, NDI utilizes mDNS

(multicast Domain Name System) to create the zero configuration environment for discovery. Unless the network is specifically configured to not allow mDNS, NDI sources will be discovered. The NDI discovery service is designed to replace the automatic discovery NDI uses with a server that operates as an efficient centralized registry of NDI sources that requires much less bandwidth. Multiple servers can be specified for failover reduntancy. NDI discovery server also helps with location of devices that reside on different subnets. The NDI Discovery Server is available in the free NDI SDK. 1. If you are using one or more NDI Discovery Servers, click the ON button. 2. Enter a comma delimited list of the IP address(es) of your NDI Discovery Server(s). 3. Click the APPLY button to save your changes. 31 System Password Settings The BirdUI is secured by a user-selectable password. To make changes to any settings, you'll need to log in. The default password is birddog (one word, lower case). It is recommended that the default password be changed, since the BirdUI grants full access to the camera configuration settings. You can change the password in the Password Settings tab. 1. Enter the current password. 2. Enter the new password. It is recommended that you change this password to retain administration rights to prevent unauthorized changes in a network environment where PTZ Keyboard is shared with other users (e.g. not private). Confirm the new password and click the APPLY button. System Update We are always adding new features and improving the performance of our products, so installing the latest firmware will provide you with the best user experience. To upgrade the firmware, download the firmware and follow the Firmware Upgrade Instructions located in the download folder. Access Manager Configuration Remote IP List By default, NDI devices are visible to each other only when theyre on the same VLAN. If you want visibility or control of a device on a different VLAN, you need to add its address manually as a Remote IP. You can upload and download Remote IP Lists for sharing with other cameras. To upload a list:

1. Click the CHOOSE FILE button to load your Remote IP List in UTF-8 encoded string format. 2. Click the UPDATE button. Do not upload a blank list. 32 NDI Group List Set the NDI group list. NDI groups allow you to restrict communication to only devices that belong to the same NDI group. NDI Groups can be very useful in larger environments to control visibility and access amongst various groups. You can upload and download group lists for sharing with other cameras. Groups also need setting up in NDI Access Manager, available in NDI Tools. To upload a list:

1. Click the CHOOSE FILE button to load your NDI Group List in UTF-8 encoded string format. 2. Click the UPDATE button. Do not upload a blank list. AV Setup Device Settings Preferred NIC Although you may have Ethernet and WiFi both enabled, you can set the preferred NIC for streaming. However, both networks remain available for control, BirdUI and API use. Audio Output Select Loop: Audio from the Audio In port, for example, from a connected microphone, is directed to the Audio Out port for monitoring. Comms: Audio from NDI stream is directed to the audio out for camera operator comms. You'll need software such as BirdDog Comms Lite/Pro to use this function. OLED Off/On: Enables or disables the camera OLED display. Invert: Inverts the display for use during inverted camera mounting. Onboard Tally (Black model only) You can choose to enable or disable the onboard Tally light. 33 Encode Settings Select from either NDI HX, SRT or RTSP for the streaming protocol. You can also choose to disable the NDI HX output stream. NDI HX Streaming Protocol Select NDI HX as the streaming protocol. NDI HX is a lower bandwidth version of full NDI and uses h.264 video compression to reduce the required network bandwidth. NDI Groups NDI supports Grouping which allows you to hide the visibility of video sources to viewers that are not part of the group. If disabled (default), the video source is public and viewable by any receiver on your network. Click on the field and type a group name. Receivers can then scan for, and select your group. NDI Stream Name You can give the camera NDI output stream a meaningful name to make identification easier on any NDI-

capable receiver, particularly on networks where there are a large number of NDI streams. Video Format The X120 is capable of outputting independent video formats for both NDI HX and SDI/HDMI. This setting affects only the NDI video output. Please note that the video rate you select here must be of the same family as the SDI/

HDMI video output, for example, 720p50 aligns with 1080i50/1080p50 but will not co-exist with any 29.97/30 fps based camera setting. NDI Audio (white or ocean models only) Select MUTE to disable the NDI audio. Select ANALOG to receive audio from the audio inputs. NDI Failover Source NDI has a failover function where you can designate an alternate camera or NDI source for the receiver, should this camera become disconnected or otherwise unavailable on the network. Click on the Available NDI Sources field to select your alternate source. Update Source List Pressing the REFRESH button will add new sources to the list, whereas pressing the RESET button will populate the list with only active NDI sources. Click the APPLY button to apply your failover source change. 34 Bitrate Control Variable Encodes the stream segments at different bitrates according to their complexity. Capable of producing higher quality streams but takes longer to process data, leading to higher latency and quality can be less consistent. When Variable is selected, you can choose settings for the I-frame or P-frame Quant Factor. Constant Encodes the stream at a single, set bitrate. Can be more suitable for mobile delivery and result in more reliable audio quality. When Constant is selected you can adjust the target bitrate. Mode To accomodate the available bandwidth, you can choose from three bitrate control presets - Low, Medium and High. The fourth selection, Custom, allows you to manually adjust the settings. GOP Size Sets the number of frames between two consecutive I-frames in the temporal compression scheme of h.264. Quant Factor Sets the level of I-frame or P-frame quantisation during video compression. Higher values result in higher compression but reduced image quality. Bitrate Set the desired target bitrate for constant bitrate control. Higher bitrates result in a higher quality stream. Encode Screensaver Assign a captured frame, black frame, or BirdDog logo as a screensaver. Capture Screensaver Frame Click the CAPTURE button to capture the current frame for use as a screensaver. Stream to Network You can choose to disable the NDI HX output stream. SRT Streaming Protocol Select SRT as the streaming protocol. Secure Reliable Transport (SRT) achieves high-quality, low-latency streaming across unreliable Internet connections via UDP packets. 35 SRT Connection Type/Port In order to establish a bidirectional stream, SRT employs a handshake mechanism where each device identifies itself as either a Caller or as a Listener and waits for the other to initiate a connection. In certain cases, two devices can simultaneously negotiate an SRT session in what is referred to as Rendezvous mode. Caller Sets a source or destination device as the initiator of an SRT streaming session. Listener Sets a device to wait for a request to start an SRT streaming session. The Listener device only needs to know that it should listen for an SRT stream on a certain port. NOTE: The UDP traffic (UDP port(s)) must be port forwarded from the outside of the firewall to the internal IP address of the Listener Endpoint. Rendezvous Allows two devices to negotiate an SRT session over a mutually agreed upon port and both source and destination must be in Rendezvous mode. In this mode, a source port can be specified to help better handle NAT Firewall support. Port Enter the Port number. SRT Latency When packets are lost during streaming, extra time is required to recover the packet before its "time to play"

arrives. This parameter sets how long the receiver should wait for retransmission of lost packets. Encryption Enable or disable encryption. Encryption Key Length You can configure your Secure Reliable Transport (SRT) streams to use 128 bits, 192 bits, or 256 bits AES encryption. This can be thought of as fast, medium, or strong encryption. The encryption settings on the SRT encoder sending the stream must match the settings on the SRT decoder receiving the stream. Pass Phrase You can optionally assign the SRT stream an alphanumeric passphrase. The pass phrase setting on the SRT encoder sending the stream must match the setting on the SRT decoder receiving the stream. The other settings are same as described above for the NDI HX. RTSP 36 Streaming Protocol Select RTSP as the streaming protocol. RTSP facilitates audio/video transmission between two endpoints by real-

time control of the stream by communicating directly with the source. Stream Name Enter the stream name. Port Enter the port number. Authentication You can optionally choose to use authentication. Username Enter the authentication Username. Password Enter the authentication Password. The other settings are same as described above for the NDI HX. Cam Control Camera Control Tab Menu On / Off To adjust cameras settings via the OSD (On Screen Display), click the Menu ON/OFF button. The OSD is visible on both the NDI output and SDI/HDMI, and can also be accessed via the included remote control. Since it uses the same controls for menu navigation, PTZ control of the camera movement will not be possible until the OSD menu is closed again. Zoom Click the TELE button to zoom in and the WIDE button to zoom out. Focus Mode Select between Auto and Manual focus modes. Focus Click the IN button to focus on nearer subjects and the OUT button to focus on subjects further from the camera. Pan / Tilt / Zoom Speed When controlling the X120 over NDI you can individually set the maximum speed of PTZ movements. Higher numbers produce faster and more sensitive movements of the camera. Image Settings Reset Click this button to reset all image settings to their factory default. 37 FreeD Tab Enable or disable FreeD. FreeD is a protocol for real time camera PTZ position query. Any application that uses FreeD can use this data, usually in a virtual environment, where a physical camera move (i.e. pan, tilt, zoom or iris change) can trigger the virtual environment to follow that move in real time. IP Address / Port Enter the IP address of the host and the port that the data package will be sent to. Apply FreeD Settings Click the APPLY button to save your changes. Preset Tab To save a Preset select a number, make your desired changes, click the Save button and then click a Preset number. To recall a Preset, click the Preset number. You can save two separate and different types of Presets:

BirdDog: Saves only PTZ information with the Preset. Camera: If System/Preset Memory is enabled in the camera Menu via the OSD, image parameters such as pic-

ture, white balance, exposure, focus mode, zoom positions will also be saved with the Preset. Exposure Tab Mode Full Auto: The exposure is adjusted auto-

matically using the values set for EXPOSURE COMPENSATION. Manual: Allows manual adjustment of the GAIN, IRIS and SPEED (shutter speed). Shutter Priority: The shutter speed can be set freely by the user, and the iris and gain are set automatically, according to the brightness of the subject. The exposure is adjusted automatically using the values manually set for SPEED (shutter speed), GAIN and EXPOSURE COMPENSATION. Iris Priority: The iris can be set freely by the user. The gain and shutter speed are set automatically according to the brightness of the subject. The exposure is adjusted automatically using the values manually set for SPEED, GAIN and EXPOSURE COMPENSATION. Bright: The bright control adjusts both gain and iris using an internal algorithm, according to a brightness level freely set by the user. Exposure is controlled by gain when dark, and by iris when bright. As both gain and iris are fixed, this mode is used when exposing at a fixed camera sensitivity. Gain Select the gain from 0-30dB. Iris Select the iris from CLOSE - F1.8. Shutter Speed When video format is set to 720P25, 1080P50, 1080i50, 1080P25 or 720P50, shutter speed can be selected from the following:

1/1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/6, 1/12, 1/25, 1/50, 1/75, 1/100, 1/120, 1/150, 1/215, 1/300, 1/425, 1/600, 1/1000, 1/1250, 1/1750, 1/2500, 1/3500, 1/6000, 1/10K. 38 When video format is set to 720P30, 1080i59.94, 1080P29.97, 720P59.94, 1080P59.94, 1080I60, 1080P30, 1080P60 or 720P60, shutter speed can be selected from the following:

1/1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/15, 1/30, 1/60, 1/90, 1/100, 1/125, 1/180, 1/250, 1/350, 1/500, 1/725, 1/1000, 1/1500, 1/2000, 1/3000, 1/4000, 1/6000, 1/10K. Shutter Control Overwrite You can set an optional shutter speed for use when monitor screens are visible in the camera image. Click the ON button to activate the Shutter Speed Overwrite shutter speed value. Exposure Compensation When MODE is set to FULL AUTO, SHUTTER PRI or IRIS PRI, setting EXPOSURE COMPENSATION to ON allows exposure compensation levels to be set. White Balance Tab Cam White Balance Auto: This mode computes the white balance value output using color information from the entire frame with a range of values from 2500K to 7500K. This mode is the default setting. Indoor: Sets the color temperature to 3200K. Outdoor: Sets the color temperature to 5800K. OPW (One Push White Balance): The One Push White Balance mode is a fixed white balance mode that may be automatically readjusted only at the request of the user (One Push Trigger), assuming that a white subject, in cor-

rect lighting conditions can occupying more than 1/2 of the image. One Push White Balance data is lost when the power is turned off. If the power is turned off, you'll need to reset One Push White Balance. To select OPW:

1. Place a white subject (i.e., sheet of white paper) in the center of the frame. 2. Press the remote controller HOME button to activate the one-push white balance adjustment. ATW (Auto Tracking White Balance): Auto Tracking White balance (2000K to 10000K), allows the camera to ad-

just the white balance according to the temperature of the light source illuminating the subject. Manual 1 / Manual 2: These two user modes allow you to manually set the following color balance parameters. Cam Red/Blue Gain Sets the intensity of red and blue colors in the image. Cam Color Temp Sets the color temperature of the image in degrees Kelvin. Picture Tab Sharpness Adjusts the picture sharpness value from 0 to 15. Effect Select from Monochrome Image (B&W) or Color image (OFF). Noise Reduction Can reduce the level of image noise. Select from 6 levels - OFF, 1 - 5 (MAX). Flip Flips the image upside down for ceiling mounted cameras. Select from upright mode (OFF) or ceiling mount (ON). 39 Mirror Displays a mirror image of the video image. WDR (Wide dynamic range mode) The WDR feature is available on certain product models. The camera adjusts the image brightness for both the extreme dark and bright areas of the image. Saturation Adjusts the intensity of colours in the image from a range of 1-15. Hue Adjusts the color phase from 1-15. Contrast You can adjust the contrast level in the range from 0 (00h) to 255 (FFh). The initial setting is 128 (80h). The smaller the value lowers the contrast. Gamma Adjusts the gamma of the image from 0 to 1. Colour Matrix Tab The Color Matrix features 64 levels of adjustment of Gain (Intensity) and Hue (offset) across six color sections, Red, Green, Blue, Cyan, Magenta and Yellow, and allows individual fine-tuning of each of these without affecting the response of other color components. You can also view an online video that covers this section. 40 Colour Gain The Gain control of each colour component defines how intense that colour is represented in the image. The default level (32) is a moderate gain which shows an even bias between all pixels that contain the colour. For example, a dark red with have the red component shown as vividly as a bright red, this generally gives a balanced look to your colour representation. Increasing the gain value will add additional intensity to all parts of the image pertaining to this colour. For example, if you increase the Red gain value to 64 all pixels that are red in the image will have a boost of colour compared to other colours in the image resulting in a more vivid representation of this colour. Conversely reducing the colour gain will take some intensity out of the target colour. This can be useful in some lighting conditions where certain colours appear over saturated to the camera. Colour Hue The Colour Hue option adjusts the temperature or phase in which any colour is represented. When looking at the colour spectrum, beyond the true colour points for each of the main colour adjustments in the camera (Red, Green, Blue, Cyan, Magenta and Yellow there are areas where the colours transition to their neighbouring colour point. The X120 Colour Matrix controls allow you to adjust the colour offset in a negative (counter clockwise) or positive (clockwise) direction, effectively moving the cameras response to any colour towards its neighbouring colour transition point. Adjusting individual colour Hue can assist dramatically in matching colour representation from the camera to true-to life colours or matching the X120 to other cameras in your production. Using a Colour Chart Colours adjustable by Colour Matrix Control It is recommended to utilise a colour chart or colour chip chart when adjusting the Colour Matrix controls. These charts are available readily and have colour chips for each of the colours that the camera can adjust. By utilising a colour chip chart you are more easily able to see the impact of any adjustment you are making. Using a colour chip chart such as the Datacolor SpyderCheckr can be beneficial to fine-tuning adjustments in the X120 Colour Matrix. 41 Receiving NDI Video There are many applications that support receiving the NDI signal that the X120 produces. Each application will vary slightly on how you choose your source. NewTek Studio Monitor NDI Tools is a free suite of applications designed to introduce you to the world of IP video and is available here. The included Studio Monitor application allows you to monitor many NDI sources on a standard Windows computer. Once Studio Monitor is launched on your computer, simply right click anywhere in the interface and select your camera from the dropdown list. Once connected to the X120, a gear icon is displayed on the bottom right-hand side of the video display providing shortcut access the X120 BirdUI. NewTek TriCaster Series NewTek TriCaster series devices allow several NDI sources to be received simultaneously, the amount of simultaneous connections varies by what model TriCaster you have. Consult your TriCaster user manual to determine how many connections are available on your device. To select the X120 as a source on your TriCaster, click on the configuration gear icon below your desired source location which will then display the Input Setting dialog. Select your X120 source from the dropdown list. Once connected to the X120, a configuration gear icon displays next to the source dropdown window that provides shortcut access the X120 BirdUI. 42 NDI Camera Control The easiest way to control your camera is via the BirdDog PTZ Keyboard!

Domain can also refer to the IP address of a website on the Internet. DNS DNS (Domain Name System) is a system used by the Internet and private networks to translate domain names into IP addresses. mDNS mDNS (Multicast DNS) refers to the use of IP multicast with DNS to translate domain names into IP addresses and provide service discovery in a network that does not have access to a DNS server. Ethernet Ethernet, standardized as IEEE 802.3, refers to a series of technologies used to connect computers and other devices to a LAN (Local Area Network) or wide area network (WAN). Firmware Firmware is a class of software held in non-volatile memory that provides the low-level control for a devices hardware. Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) An Ethernet capable of transmitting data at a rate of a gigabit per second. A Gigabit capable Ethernet network is recommended for NDI production workflows. IP IP (Internet Protocol) is the communications protocol for the Internet, many wide area networks (WANs), and most local area networks (LANs) that defines the rules, formats, and address scheme for exchanging datagrams or packets between a source computer or device and a destination computer or device. LAN LAN (Local Area Network) is a network that connects computers and devices in a room, building, or group of buildings. A system of LANs can also be connected to form a WAN (Wide Area Network). Mbps Mbps (Megabits per second) is a unit of measurement for data transfer speed, with one megabit equal to one million bits. Network transmissions are commonly measured in Mbps. NDI NDI (Network Device Interface) is a standard allowing for transmission of video using standard LAN networking. NDI comes in two flavours, NDI and NDI HX. NDI is a variable bit rate, I-Frame codec that reaches rates of around 140Mbps at 1080p60 and is visually lossless. NDI HX is a compressed, long-GOP, H.264 variant that achieves rates around 12Mbps at 1080p60. PELCO PELCO is a camera control protocol used with PTZ cameras. See also VISCA. PoE Power over Ethernet Port A port is a communications channel for data transmission to and from a computer on a network. Each port is identified by a 16-bit number between 0 and 65535, with each process, application, or service using a specific port

(or multiple ports) for data transmission. Port can also refer to a hardware socket used to physically connect a device or device cable to your computer or network. 58 PTZ Pan, Tilt and Zoom. RJ45 A form of standard interface commonly used to connect computers onto Ethernet-based local area networks

(LAN). RS422, RS485, RS232 Physical layer, serial communication protocols. Subnet Subnet or subnetwork is a segmented piece of a larger network. Tally A system that indicates the on-air status of video signals usually by the use of a red illuminated lamp. TCP TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is a network communications protocol. UDP UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is an alternative protocol to TCP that is used when reliable delivery of data packets in not required. VISCA VISCA is a camera control protocol used with PTZ cameras. See also PELCO. WAN WAN (Wide Area Network) is a network that spans a relatively broad geographical area, such as a state, region, or nation. White Balance White balance (WB) is the process of ensuring that white objects and by extension, all colour, in your video are rendered accurately. Without correct white balance, objects in your video display unrealistic color casts. 230503 59 WELCOME TO THE FUTURE. birddog.tv hello@birddog.tv
