Networking
Of course, the system provides extensive support for NDI sources and outputs across a network. Few will be surprised to find that this next generation feature requires your system to be connected to the network.
Viz Vectar actually supplies four different network connections on its backplane: Two 10 Gigabit and two Gigabit ports. Generally, connecting a suitable cable from an Ethernet port on the backplane to your network is all that is required to connect to a local area network (LAN). In some settings, additional steps may be required.
You can access the system Network and Sharing control panel to accomplish more extensive configuration tasks – see Settings: Configure Network under the heading Administrator Mode in The Session Page. If further help connecting is required, please consult your system administrator.
Tip: Use the 10 Gigabit networking whenever you can, especially if you are using very large numbers of NDI connections. For example, you may want to connect multiple Vizrt I/O systems, each supplying eight NDI a/v sources to Viz Vectar. In this case, you might connect the Gigabit network outputs from the external modules to a 10 Gigabit network switch, then connect the switch to Viz Vectar using a 10 Gigabit connection.
