Video over IP networking is quickly becoming a core competency required for live production workflows. However, the majority of networking courses aren’t designed for the high-performance requirements that come with building video networks. This Viz University course is designed to address these aspects. The class will get into network hardware and the type of features needed to build a LAN that can deliver on the required performance. Following this, we conduct a comprehensive analysis of NDI, covering protocol operation, organisation of the NDI network using Access Manager, implementation of multicast with NDI, and effective troubleshooting techniques. This approach enables professionals to minimise time spent on diagnostics and focus more efficiently on production tasks. This course is suitable for technicians with experience in installing software and configuration of LAN and computer network setting. There are no pre-requisites required to take this course.
