Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of NewTek Tuesday Tutorials,
my name is Richard Evans and today we have two new iOS apps that I want to show you. NDI HX
camera and NDI HX capture both are free for a limited time and will help you connect with
your audience so let's dive in and take a look. Alright so let's start off on my iPhone screen
and the first thing that I want to show you is where to download these applications you don't
need to go to our NDI.TV site like you normally would. All you have to do is go to the iOS App
Store and then in your search bar type in NDI HX right and then these two applications will appear,
the NDI HX capture and NDI HX camera applications so these are gonna be free for a limited time
only. I have already downloaded these so it doesn't show the price here but take advantage
of that now. I'm already running NDI HX capture so let me go ahead and click open. So this is
how I'm able to capture my screen right now and record for this video so when you first start
this application that red dot in the middle is gonna be black and you just click on that
and it will give you a three second countdown and then you are now broadcasting over NDI to
anyone who was willing to listen. Alright now of course a important note here is you will need to
make sure that your TriCaster or whatever NDI enabled device you're using is connected to the
same network as your iPhone to get this to work. Alright also go ahead just minimize this. Another
important note is if you have any notifications on for applications like iMessage or Facebook
or Instagram anything that can show send you a push notification go ahead and disable those
so you're not interrupted. I've had to rerecord this video a couple of times just because I keep
getting hammered with different messages from people etc but I've turned those all off now so
I won't be disturbed. So that application all it does is it's going to broadcast whatever is
on your phone to an NDI enabled device. It will send the video and audio of whatever application
you have open and to turn it off all you have to do is either open up that application again
and click that button or to make it easier you'll see in the top left corner where my clock is if I
click on my clock it will now give me a pop up here saying if you want to stop your broadcast
etc but I don't because I have some more stuff to show you let me go ahead and put my phone down and
now I'm gonna move over to my TriCaster interface and let me show you how to bring that feed in. So
we'll go to input number two and under my source drop-down here again these are all the different
sources that are broadcasting over NDI but I want to select Richards iPhone here and select
display and boom now I have my phone directly embedded into my TriCaster. So if I want to
show a tutorial video on my phone or go through different post whatever applications you have
like for example I can go into my photos here and pull up this video I took of a deer hanging out
my backyard the other day now I can just bring it directly into my broadcast. That's pretty awesome.
Alright now another way you can use this is also for gaming so check this out I'm gonna
open up Fortnite here a game that I am terrible at but this would be a good little example of
showing you some things so now you'll see that I have Fortnite available to me in my input number
two. Now what it looks a little different I mean what is happier to know it's chapter two
now that the aspect ratio of your iPhone is a little bit wider than a 16 by 9 aspect ratio of
the session that I currently have my TriCaster in now that doesn't mean that I've necessarily
lost it it just means for this particular input that's the way it's displayed so if you are going
to be doing an application that has its full range of field here of the view you'll need
to go ahead and modify that so for example I have input number two in my down stream keyer,
so I'll go ahead and bring that on screen real quick so I have a position or tool on right now
and you'll see that if I turn off my positioning that that will be full screen but if I turn it on
and scale it a little bit you'll see that I do have the entire feed coming from my iphone here
so just keep that in mind if you're using this on say like a game or something like that. Either go
ahead and just throw this particular feed into a downstream keyer or easily into like a mix effect
for example that way you can have access to all the video feed coming off of your phone. Okay let
me go ahead and close that I will not be doing any games today, let's go ahead and show you the next
application which is NDI HX camera. Now this one is awesome check this out all right so I'm going
to open up NDI HX camera and check it out so now you have these that you can use your phone as a
wireless NDI camera which is pretty awesome. So let me go ahead and show you from left to right
some of the different settings here so you'll see if I click on this gear icon in the bottom
right that will bring up a few little additional displays here for you so on the left here. You
have your zoom function we can go whoa there we go oh my god back out hmm alright and then also
you'll see that there is a brightness feature here as well which is probably good I look a little bit
better that way yeah a lot less bright. Alright you could also turn on the flash on your camera
I had this forward-facing right now so you won't be able to see that but that turns it on I can
also turn on a grid here so I can widen my shot a little better put me in the center that looks good
and then the NDI logo in the middle if that's blue that means you're broadcasting. If it turns gray
that means that you're not broadcasting so you can toggle it on and off that way and then also
you'll see that there's a little microphone icon there that will just basically mute the audio that
you're recording off of your microphone and then of course this button here with the camera will
allow you to switch your feed around so that you can use both forward and rear facing cameras and
then at the bottom here this this other one this will allow you to change the the connection rate
that you're going to be broadcasting over NDI. So for example I have it currently set to high but I
can set it to medium and then I can also set it to low. Alright so let's go ahead and put that
down all right so we're still viewing this on the NDI capture mode so let's go ahead and jump
over to the TriCaster interface and an input number 3 I'm going to bring in this feed into
my broadcast so I'll click on input 3 and select from the drop down here NDI HX camera and boom,
now I have my NDI HX camera coming in now it looks like it's flipped right now but it really isn't
that's because on the NDI HX capture that's just showing me the native feed from what's going on in
the application and if you look seeing my NewTek logo on my shirt here is backwards but if you
bring that into input number three for example now you're getting the correct image and how
the aspect ratio should look. Now another little feature here if we take a look back on my phone.
So right now you'll notice there's a little blue line around my application here but check this
out if I go through and click on input number three which is the output of this camera on my
program row that is going to turn red so that way you have a little tally light as well so you know
exactly when you're gonna be on the air so as you can see these applications are extremely powerful
you can use NDI HX capture to show whatever is on your screen with full video and audio from
whatever application you want to run also the NDI HX camera application will allow you to use the
forward and rear facing cameras of your iPhone and the microphone as well so you have a cool
little NDI camera right here in your pocket. Alright now for more videos like this please
