Just Live Lite NDI supports NDI® output only including the ability to switch to a live source. Please note the following points when configuring a machine for streaming playout:

Notes

• Setting up a Channel can easily be done using the Wizard or the Configuration window inside the Just Live Lite NDI application.

• When the “Switch to Live” function is activated, but no live stream is received, the Just Live Lite NDI application tries to reconnect to the defined stream every few seconds.

• Realtime graphics is supported, but especially complex templates must be tested thoroughly before using them on air. This also applied to HTML graphics provided by third-party systems.

• The “Live Input” stream can be changed in the “Channel” tab of Just Live Lite NDI while the channel is ON AIR. In addition, there is a “NDI Timecode Mode” setting in the “Streaming” tab in the engine’s configuration panel with the options “NDI UTC Timestamps” and “SMPTE Timecode”. The former expects frames with standard NDI UTC timestamps, as provided by the majority of NDI devices. The latter expects SMPTE timecode encoded as 100ths of a nanosecond. This may be useful in conjunction with some devices such as the AJA Bridge that take embedded SDI SMPTE timecode and converts it for use with NDI.

Limitations

• The output stream is always progressive, as field-based movies are not currently deinterlaced. Therefore, for the best possible quality, please use progressive movies.

• The incoming “Live signal” MUST match the Output Format defined for the Playout Channel.

• It is possible that there are no “Skipped Frames” shown in the Engine Diagnostic window, even there are skipped frames in the final stream.
