Configuring HX on Legacy Cameras

Configuring HX on Legacy Cameras


BirdDog's P-Series and A-Series cameras support NDI HX2 and HX3, which is a feature that is introduced in firmware 5.5.114. To use this feature, you'll need to update your camera to version 5.5.114 or higher.*

Once you have confirmed that your camera is fully up to date, please refer to the following instructions to output NDI HX:
  1. Open the camera WebUI and navigate to the A/V tab.

  2. In the Advanced tab under "Protocol," select NDI HX.
    1. Please note: The NDI HX selection refers specifically to HX2. HX1 is not supported on BirdDog cameras. For HX3 configuration, please review the following article: Configuring HX3

  3. Navigate back to the Dashboard page and click Reboot to save this configuration.

  4. Open Studio Monitor. Find the camera, select it, and confirm that the following two options are available:
    1. [stream name]
    2. [stream name]_ HX

  5. You can also confirm the NDI output type in the WebUI in the AV tab > Advanced > Protocol – confirm that NDI HX has been retained after selection.
The camera is now outputting NDI HX.
