Teradek NDI License FAQ

Teradek devices with an NDI license will generate an NDI-HX stream. Make sure your device or software is compatible with NDI-HX.

What devices are compatible with the NDI license?
Cube 705, Cube 755, and Slice 756.

What firmware version is compatible with the NDI License?
Firmware 8.2.13 and later supports NDI.

Can I decrease the delay?
Yes, to decrease the delay of your NDI stream you can lower the “Look Ahead Frames” value under the encoder settings to a minimum of 0. Please note that lowering this setting will slightly reduce the overall video quality.

Can I stream to Core while using NDI?
No, both streams (primary and quickview) are used for the local NDI stream, so we cannot send an additional stream to Core.

Is IFB supported when using NDI?
No, IFB on the Cube is not compatible with NDI streaming.

Does the Cube support a tally signal?
No, the Cube does not support a tally signal via NDI.

Will Prism support NDI streaming?
