2. Accéder au Web UI

The camera features an accessible web user interface (UI) for configuration and control.

  1. Assurez-vous que votre ordinateur est connecté au même réseau que la caméra.
  2. Use a network scanner tool (e.g., NewTek NDI Tools) to discover the camera's IP address on your network.
  3. Ouvrir un web browser and enter the camera's IP address into the address bar.
  4. Log in using the default credentials (refer to the camera's specific documentation for default username/password, typically "admin" / "admin" or similar).
  5. De la web UI, you can adjust image parameters, network settings, and stream directly to social media platforms.

3. NDI|HX Video Streaming

The AIDA HD-NDI-Cube outputs Full HD 1080p60 NDI|HX video, compatible with NDI-enabled software and hardware.

  • Once the camera is connected to the network, it should be discoverable by NDI-compatible applications (e.g., OBS Studio, vMix, TriCaster).
  • In your NDI receiving software, select the AIDA HD-NDI-Cube as an NDI source.
  • Adjust video settings within your software or the camera's web UI as needed for optimal performance.

Entretien

1. Nettoyage

  • Ensure the camera is powered off and disconnected from all sources before cleaning.
  • Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the camera body. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosols.
  • Pour la lentille, utilisez un chiffon et une solution de nettoyage spécialisés pour éviter les rayures.

2. Mises à jour du micrologiciel

Periodically check the AIDA Imaging official website for available firmware updates. Firmware updates can improve performance, add features, and resolve issues.

  • Download the latest firmware from the manufacturer's support page.
  • Follow the specific instructions provided with the firmware update package for installation via the camera's web UI.
  • Prudence: Do not power off the camera during a firmware update, as this may cause irreversible damage.

Dépannage

No NDI Signal Detected

  • Connexion réseau: Ensure the Ethernet cable is securely connected to both the camera and the network switch/router. Verify network activity lights on the camera's Ethernet port.
  • Adressage IP : Confirm that the camera and the receiving computer are on the same IP subnet. Incorrect subnet masks can prevent NDI discovery. Access the camera's web UI to verify or adjust network settings. A firmware update may be required to resolve specific IP addressing issues.
  • Software Permissions: If using software like OBS Studio on Windows, ensure the application is run with administrator privileges. Some NDI implementations require elevated permissions to access network streams.
  • Paramètres du pare-feu : Check firewall settings on your computer and network to ensure NDI traffic is not being blocked.

Perte de signal intermittente

  • Stabilité du réseau : Verify the stability and bandwidth of your network. NDI|HX requires a stable network connection.
  • Intégrité du câble : Inspect Ethernet cables for damage. Try replacing cables if issues persist.
  • Micrologiciel : Ensure the camera's firmware is up to date. Older firmware versions may have known stability issues.

Mauvaise qualité d'image

  • Lens Focus: Adjust the focus of the C/CS mount lens.
  • Conditions d'éclairage : Ensure adequate and appropriate lighting for your scene.
  • Web Paramètres de l'interface utilisateur : Accédez aux web UI to adjust image parameters such as exposure, white balance, and color temperature.
  • Zoom numérique : Avoid excessive digital zoom, as it can degrade image quality on 1080p cameras. Consider variable focus lens replacements for optical zoom capabilities.
