Set up NDI® network configuration in Callaba

Oct 19, 2024

In Callaba, configuring NDI® network settings is simple and flexible. Whether you're dealing with straightforward or complex configurations, the platform offers you easy-to-use options to get your NDI® network up and running.

Option 1: Using predefined fields

For basic setups, Callaba provides predefined fields in the NDI® configuration section.

Here, you can input details like:

  • Machine Name: Assign a unique name to your device.
  • Discovery IP: Enter the discovery IP address that will allow Callaba to locate NDI® devices on your network.
  • Networks IPs: Specify the IP ranges for the networks Callaba will be working within.

These fields simplify the process, ensuring that even basic setups can be done quickly.

Option 2: Using the Live Editor

For more complex settings, you can directly edit your configuration in the live editor at the bottom of the panel. The live editor allows you to:

  • Edit or create custom configurations directly in JSON format.
  • Customize advanced settings, such as multicast and allowed groups.

Option 3: Importing Configuration Files

If you already have a configuration file prepared, Callaba allows you to import it.

You can drag and drop a .json or .txt file into the live editor.

After importing, Callaba will apply the configuration immediately without the need for a system restart.

This is especially useful for deploying pre-configured environments or replicating setups across multiple devices.

Example Configuration 

In the screenshot example:

  • The machine name is set as “very cool.”
  • The discovery IP is set to 172.32.213.96.
  • Network IPs are configured as 192.168.2.14 and 192.168.2.16.
  • The multicast setting is disabled, which can be easily adjusted by changing the enable field to true.
