Setting up Local Links with NewTek Spark™ Converters
By Adam Noyes
In this video we demonstrate how to connect a laptop to a NewTek Spark™ Converter or NDI PTZ Camera using Local Link
One of the strong points of the NewTek Spark™ family of NDI® converters is the ability for control over the local network. However, sometimes you want an even simpler approach, and NewTek’s NDI devices can do this.
In this demo NewTek video content producer Richard Evans shows how you can directly connect the network port of a Spark to the network port of a laptop or desktop computer, run NewTek NDI Monitor on the system, and get access to the internal setup web page of the device. This approach will also work with NewTek’s NDI cameras. This can be especially handy as a means to check and setup your NewTek NDI cameras and converters prior to taking them out into the field for a production.
