The Tracking Hub now supports embedding UDP tracking data received from a PTZ camera into the NDI stream sent out by the camera.

The service is able to receive compressed video without decoding the video frames. This helps in maintaining performance. The service then inserts tracking data in the NDI video metadata stream, which can be interpreted and rendered by Viz Engine. Tracking Hub is able to receive and embed any number of NDI streams. This enables Viz Engine to switch between two NDI streams with tracking data.

Tracking Hub interpolates the incoming tracking data with the frame rate of the incoming video. A direct connection of Tracking Hub to the NDI camera is essential for a good tracking result. It is also recommended to use a separate network for the connection. No other monitor should be connected to the camera.
