Video Transmission
RTMP
Real Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP) is a is a communication protocol for streaming audio, video, and data over the Internet, originally developed by Adobe for real-time streaming of video, audio, and data.
In the early days of streaming, the Real-Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP) was the de facto standard for transporting video over the internet (or in laymen’s terms, streaming). RTMP is a TCP-based protocol designed to maintain persistent, low-latency connections — and by extension, smooth streaming experiences.
Most media servers can receive RTMP. Even social media players like Facebook, YouTube, and Twitch accept it.
Enable RTMP streaming for e.g. YouTube or Facebook or any other RTMP address.
RTMP address: streamurl/streamkey
NDI
NDI® (Network Device Interface) is a protocol for Video over IP, developed by NewTek. It is designed to allow distribution of live high quality video over existing IP infrastructure, freeing users from hardware constraints and gives the benefits of reduced cost and deployment time.
Allowing multiple video streams on a shared connection. Full NDI supports high quality, low latency, frame-accurate video over standard Ethernet networks. NDI|HX as used in this camera is a lower data rate codec and compressed like h.264 which can be used also in low bandwidth scenarios, such as Wi-Fi and 4G networks.
NDI is supported by a wide range of manufacturers of both hardware and software. As it benefits any network-connected video device and software, you find video switchers, encoders, graphics systems, capture cards, and many other production devices with NDI support.
Enable NDI video transmission will activate NDI for the camera so that it can be seen in your capture software or hardware.
NOTE: The main stream must be enabled for NDI to work.
NDI Discovery server
By enabling this feature the camera can be discovered discover by the NewTek NDI Discovery server. Receiving applications that are looking for video. When you start an application that sends NDI, the devices that can receive NDI become aware instantaneously. While this is a typical function on almost all networks, there are some cases where it is important to know how this works in order to properly configure networks utilizing managed data flows and QoS protocols.
How to reduce latency in NDI
In the video encode settings of the webinterface you will find different settings. Please set
- Disable the substream
- Encode mode: H.264*
- Profile: HP
- Resolution: Choose the same resolution as your project in for e.g. vMix
- Set bitrate between 4096 and 1640
- Framerate: Choose the same frame rate as your project in for e.g vMix
- Bitrate control: Constant bitrate
- I-Frame interval: set to the double of the framerate. If framerate is 50 I-Frame should be 100.
Encoding NDI with H.265
The Everet cameras also support encoding NDI with H.265. Please follow instructions below if you are using vMix. If you are using windows you need to download the HEVC APP from the MS store at first.
1. Install the NDI Tools with the NDI version you wish to use.
https://www.ndi.tv/tools/#download-tools
2. Locate the runtime directory and copy Processing.NDI.Lib.x64.dll to the desktop.
In the case of NDI 4.5 this will be the following:
C:\Program Files\NewTek\NDI 4 Runtime\v4
3. Rename the file on the desktop to Processing.NDI.Lib.dll
4. Copy the file into the C:\Program Files (x86)\vMix\ndi\x64 directory, replacing the existing file.
5. vMix will now use the updated NDI version.
NOTE: These steps will need to be repeated each time the vMix version is updated, as it will overwrite the file each time.

How to reduce latency in NDI
In the video encode settings of the webinterface you will find different settings. Please set
- Disable the substream
- Encode mode: H.264*
- Profile: HP
- Resolution: Choose the same resolution as your project in for e.g. vMix
- Set bitrate between 4096 and 1640
- Framerate: Choose the same frame rate as your project in for e.g vMix
- Bitrate control: Constant bitrate
- I-Frame interval: set to the double of the framerate. If framerate is 50 I-Frame should be 100.
Encoding NDI with H.265
The Everet cameras also support encoding NDI with H.265. Please follow instructions below if you are using vMix. If you are using windows you need to download the HEVC APP from the MS store at first.
1. Install the NDI Tools with the NDI version you wish to use.
https://www.ndi.tv/tools/#download-tools
2. Locate the runtime directory and copy Processing.NDI.Lib.x64.dll to the desktop.
In the case of NDI 4.5 this will be the following:
C:\Program Files\NewTek\NDI 4 Runtime\v4
3. Rename the file on the desktop to Processing.NDI.Lib.dll
4. Copy the file into the C:\Program Files (x86)\vMix\ndi\x64 directory, replacing the existing file.
5. vMix will now use the updated NDI version.
NOTE: These steps will need to be repeated each time the vMix version is updated, as it will overwrite the file each time.
VISCA
VISCA OVER IP
VISCA over IP means VISCA protocol transmit via IP, to reduce RS232/RS485 cable layout (the controller must support IP communication function)
Communication port spec:
- Control port: RJ45 Gigabit LAN
- IP protocol: IPv4
- Transmit protocol: UDP
- IP address: set via web end or OSD menu
- Port address: 52381
- Confirm send/transmission control: depend on applied program
- Applied range: in the same segment, not suitable for bridged network.
- Turn on camera: In the menu, set VISCA option to OVER IP
HOW TO USE VISCA OVER IP
VISCA Command
It means commands from controller to peripheral equipment, when peripheral equipment receives commands, then return ACK. When commands executed, will return complete message.
For different commands, camera will return different message.
VISCA Inquiry
It means inquiry from controller to peripheral equipment when peripheral equipment receives this kind of commands, it will return required message.
VISCA Reply
It means ACK, complete message, reply or error reply, it is sent from peripheral equipment to controller.
Command format: the following is message head and valid message format. Note: LAN output way is big-endian, LSB is in the front.
Payload type:
Data definition as following:
Name | Value (Byte 0) | Value (Byte 0) | Value (Byte 0) |
VISCA command | 0x01 | 0x00 | Stores the VISCA command. |
VISCA inquiry | 0x01 | 0x10 | Stores the VISCA inquiry. |
VISCA reply | 0x01 | 0x11 | Stores the reply for the VISCA command and VISCA inquiry, or VISCA device setting command. |
VISCA device setting command | 0x01 | 0x20 | Stores the VISCA device setting command. |
Control command | 0x02 | 0x00 | Stores the control command. |
Control reply | 0x02 | 0x01 | Stores the reply for the control command. |
Payload length
Valid data length in Payload (1~16), is command length.
For example, when valid data length is 16 byte
Byte 2 : 0x00 Byte 3 : 0x10
Controller will save sequence number of each command, when one command sent, the sequence number of the command will add 1, when the sequence number becomes the max value, it will change to 0 for next time. The peripheral equipment will save sequence number of each command, and return the sequence number to the controller.
Payload
According to Payload type, the following data will be saved.
- VISCA command
Save VISCA command packet
- VISCA inquiry
Save VISCA message packet
- VISCA reply
Save VISCA return packet
- VISCA device setting command
Save VISCA equipment setting command packet.
Control command
The following data is saved in control command payload
Name | Value | Description |
---|---|---|
Reset | 0x01 | Resets the sequence number to 0. The value set as the sequence number will be ignored. |
Error | 0x0Fyy | yy=01: Abnormality in the sequence number |
yy=02: Abnormality in the message (message type) |
- Controlled reply
The following data is saved in return command payload of control command.
Message | Value | Description |
Ack | 0x01 | Reply for reset |
Delivery confirmation
VISCA over IP uses UDP as transmission communication protocol, UDP communication message transmission is not stable, it is necessary to confirm delivery and resent in application.
Generally, when controller sends a command to peripheral equipment, controller will wait for the return message then send the next command, we can detect and confirm if the peripheral equipment receive the commands from return message’s lag time. If controller shows it is overtime, it is regarded as error transmission.
If controller shows it is overtime, resend the commands to check peripheral’s status, resent command sequence number is same as last command, the following chart list the received message and status after resending the commands.
Lost message | Received message for retransmission | Status after retransmission | Correspondence after retransmission |
---|---|---|---|
Command | ACK message | Command is performed by retransmission. | Continue processing. |
ACK message | ERROR (Abnormality in the sequence number) | Command has been performed. If only the ACK message is lost, the completion message returns | If the result by the completion message is needed, retransmit by updating the sequence number. |
Completion message for the command | ERROR (Abnormality in the sequence number) | Command has been performed | If the result by the completion message is needed, retransmit by updating the sequence number. |
Inquiry | Reply message | Inquiry is performed by retransmission | Continue processing. |
Reply message for the inquiry | ERROR (Abnormality in the sequence number) | Inquiry has been performed | If the result by the reply message is needed, retransmit by updating the sequence number. |
Error message | Error message | Command is not performed. If the error cause eliminates, normal reply is returned (ACK reply message) | Eliminate the error cause. If normal reply returns continue processing. |
Inquiry of the VISCA device setting command | Reply message of the VISCA device setting command | Inquiry has been performed by retransmission. | Continue processing. |
Reply message of the VISCA device setting command | ERROR (Abnormality in the sequence number) | Inquiry has been performed | If the result by the reply message is needed retransmit by updating the sequence number. |
Sequence chart as following
Sequence chart when command lost and Sequence chart when returned message is lost.
Note: Do not set IP address, subnet mask, gateway parameter in VISCA over IP command, otherwise it will cause network breaks off.
