Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of NewTek tuesday tutorials. I am your host Richard
Evans you all know me make sure you like comment and subscribe to this video and as you know NDI
is extremely important for developing workflows for TriCaster. So today I want to talk to you
about a new NDI tool called Screen Capture which you can download for free right now at ndi.tv
and if you're familiar with NDI Scan Converter, Screen Capture has replaced it with all the
features that you've been using. Now there are two versions of Screen Capture. NDI Screen Capture
which uses high bitrate NDI and NDI Screen Capture HX which uses NDI HX. Now what exactly does that
mean? Well NDI Screen Capture uses NDI to share your desktop and send it out as a full bit
NDI signal, and NDI Screen Capture HX uses NDI HX which takes advantage of the Nvidia GPU on
your system to put less demand on your computer's CPU. Now this is really important for gamers like
myself who want to remove any demands from the CPU to keep the system moving as fast as it can be.
Now each of them have their own benefits in certain scenarios so let's dig in and show you how
it's done son! So the first thing I want to show you is where to download the NDI Screen Capture
application you'll just need to go to NDI.TV click on the NDI tools at the top of the screen
then navigate down the page to the NDI tools 4.5 which is the most current one as the time
I recorded this particular video and then you'll go to NDI tools for windows click on download
follow the instructions and you'll download the NDI Screen Capture application. Okay so like I
mentioned before there are two different versions of it here but let me show you how these work
so let's go to our start menu and go down to our NDI tools here
oh way too far that helps if I learn how to spell right. There we go so cool, you have
two different versions of it here one is going to be Screen Capture and then Screen Capture HX
and again the Screen Capture just the regular version will give you full NDI high bit rate
broadcast of your screen and then the screen capture will be the NDI HX version of it.
So I'm already running this right now so that I can get my screen over to you guys, so let's
take a look here it's going to be down here at the bottom of the screen so you'll see that here NDI
screen capture so let's right click on it and show you the different options available to you here.
So the first thing you'll see is uh going to have an option to choose your frame rate depending on
if you're in an NTSC or PAL region or you can just use the monitor's built-in frame rate here.
You can also go to your capture settings and you can either capture just a region of interest
and then you configure your region of interest from here as well and then you also put a
checkbox next to the mouse pointer that way you can see what I'm doing here today.
Right then you can also select the audio source from your device as well now depending on what
kind of system that you're running here you might be able to send both the the microphone often
say like your webcam for example or even just the system audio via that out so keep in mind here not
only can you send out the video of your desktop but you can also send out the webcam as well.
Let's say you're on a laptop for example if you or you have a webcam like I have here so you can send
out two separate NDI feeds via NDI Screen Capture. Alright and then same thing with the webcam audio
to send that out and then also you can put a checkbox next to enable kvm control and that
will allow you to remotely control this particular system from say NDI studio monitor. Alright and
then for more information you can always go to ndi.tv but let's go ahead and leave that alone and
I'm going to fire up my Powerpoint presentation here and let's go ahead and bring that into
our TriCaster system. Alright so now here we are in the TriCaster TC1 interface and I want to grab
the output of NDI Screen Capture that I'm broadcasting off of my desktop here. So let's
go to input number one click on the gear icon for that and then under the source drop down select
that and then basically we can go through view all the different NDI feeds that are broadcasting on
my network which is coming off of my machine here richericherich and I'm on my particular machine
running two different monitors on there so I can switch between either the first one or the second
one just depending on what you want to do here. So let me go ahead and just bring in my number one
all right so now you'll see in my input number one I now have a preview of
the Powerpoint presentation that I was running over on my laptop which is being shared via NDI
and the power of NDI Screen Capture. Alright and now I can just go through and treat this
like I would a normal video source so for example I can go and select input number one
as my program row so we have that Powerpoint set up and then I can say slide on my host real quick
and bring him into the broadcast and then just have them go through the Powerpoint presentation
and work that directly into my production which is pretty dang awesome again all via
the power of NDI Screen Capture . Screen Capture a fantastic refresh of an already fantastic tool
