SL Craig Posted August 26 Report Share Posted August 26 Hi, forum. Long time lurking; first time posting. Is there a way to get SHQ2 NDI feeds into Watchout 6? I ask because while we normally encode to more common/standard formats (and successfully get NDI feeds into Watchout), for a new project we're encoding to SHQ2 (to get higher-fidelity block-colours) and are getting... black... into Watchout. (NDI Studio monitor can see and parse the feeds fine - Watchout however seems to be having trouble). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the 6.7.3 release notes: * NewTek NDI® support has been upgraded to NDI 5.6 (the latest iteration of NDI). https://www.dataton.com/watchout-release-notes 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SL Craig Posted August 26 Author Report Share Posted August 26 Hi, jfk - Confirmed. I'm testing on 6.7.3. That said - good lead in there potentially: I'll follow up with the engineer (tomorrow) to see if he's sending using something new to NDI6 or if his work falls in line with NDI5.6 spec. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V6.7.3 was Released March 25, 2024, so there very well could be a newer release of the NDI specification since then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SL Craig Posted August 28 Author Report Share Posted August 28 The engineer has confirmed that his sender implements the NDI 5 SDK (albeit the NDI 5 advanced SDK). He's said that he'd like to do more investigation before fully sounding the alarm (as there may be something up with the way his sender is responding to the mis-matched colour-encoding suggestion from Watchout). I'll post again when he gets back to me-- 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post SL Craig Posted September 4 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted September 4 We can mark this one as resolved; The engineer discovered that he wasn't sending companion low-res streams. This had the knock-on effect of killing the previews in Watchout. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
