Up and Running: Setting up a working NDI Network

[@StephenMann]

Nice stuff, Jon! Can you link the network guidelines to the video description here? That might be super handy. Thanks for all the excellent stuff you do!

[@birddogjon]

Of course. Here is a link to the article that includes those downloads: birddogtv.zohodesk.com/portal/en/kb/articles/networking-outline-recommendations

Thanks, Jon!

The link files are now broken. Is there a new source for those linked files?

Is there a tutorial for beginners? I've been tasked with creating an NDI network for a podcast studio and there is so much jargon in this video it's hard to follow. I completely understand that I'm not the target audience for this specific video, but I'm curious if you've create the most barebones, basic video explaining the terminology for beginners like me. Thank you!

this is the basic stuff =p sorry to say you can visualize it with packet tracer or take a computer basic class like windows or linux+

I've been using ndi for 4 years. This is stuff I've not had to deal with. It's very helpful but it yeah it's not basic unless your know networking which i do not. Depending on your situation this may be very relevant if you done already have internet set up. I'm very lost by what he's talking about but my venue already has internet set up but for gaming, not NDI.

@@ThePhilocypher i saw your yt we should play sometime =3 as for networking its not hard.

[@TwinTailTerror]

i will say the nice way: if you dont know networking do not try. hire a professional. or you will be sorry. as you will need network segmenation. ips ids snort and some other stuff if its a actual business pluse you should do ha and raid 10 offsite over some kind of ssh or wg tunnel maybe a api cluster . also ndi is the wrong term, im unsure what you mean but ndi means Network Device Interface.

What if you don't have a DHCP server running on your network? Can I use link local instead of DHCP?

[@TwinTailTerror]

you have dhcp on any network by default if you have a router AT ALL and seeing your on the net you do thus you have dchp so your solid my guy

there are several problems with this video * there are not 256 ip's on a /24 its 255 and only 253 are usable * static ips are better so you know where to find this if you are tech savvy a simple mac to ip reserve can be done on most routers *i don't even think you can buy 10/100 anymore a 10/100/1000 cost like 15 bucks switch 8 ports amazon *anything 1gb should not need a time out * also no offense if you knew networking you would know EVERY switch is a minimal of layer 2 if its layer 1 its a hub dude. and all layer 3 is ip/mac and basically a router. * for 1gb networks cat5/cat5e are all you need period cat 6 is higher than 1gb and is for 2.x gb or up to 5gb so why spend the money? this is good for about 200 feet with out drop off *qos can be turned off but you can use SQM and at 1 gb it's not needed but can be used with out issue *jumbo or giant frames are not needed till 10gb but should be used after that or at least have the ability installed / marked for it *IF your crap router can even have vlan this is actually not needed if its decent hardware the only point for vlan is isolation so you would not be able to talk to it unless you have intervlan rules set up / traffic allowed (this is used to keep things apart not make them faster)

OK...okay...first of all..that was a lil aggressive. But you seem to know your stuff. Second, I'd love to pick your brain.
