The BG-ND-XHSRP is an enterprise-grade NDI-enabled HD PTZ camera designed for use in video conferencing and small-scale productions. The thoughtful selection of outputs allows this camera to integrate seamlessly with multiple configurations and workflows.
Featuring a 1/2.8" HD CMOS sensor, the BG-ND-XHSRP produces vibrant images at resolutions up to 1080p @ 60Hz. This camera features simultaneous NDI|HX, 3G-SDI, and HDMI outputs. NDI Technology provides the winning combination of user-friendliness, high quality video, and maximum compatibility with other devices and software platforms. Lens options include 20X and 30X optical zoom levels.
Equipped with a 3.5mm audio input, the BG-ND-XHSRP provides the ability to embed stereo audio to the IP stream. In addition to NDI|HX2, the camera also supports ONVIF, RTSP, and RTMP streaming protocols.
Control
The BG-ND-XHSRP can be controlled via NDI, web browser, IR remote control, IP control (IP VISCA, ONVIF) RS-232/485 (VISCA/PELCO-P/D). 255 camera presets can be stored internally, of which 10 can be recalled using the IR remote control.
What is NDI?
Network Device Interface (NDI) is a high performance AV over IP standard that allows anyone to use real time, ultra low latency video on existing IP video networks. The NDI open protocol enables professionals to share video through a local area network (LAN) with video-compatible devices. With a single ethernet cable connection, professionals can merge all stages of production from start to finish. That way, all production tasks and processes will be united, so accomplishing a creative vision will be simple. With the NDI 5.5 tool-kit, users will also be able to connect any audio device as an NDI source with NDI’s Audio Direct tool. This adds audio over IP to NDI’s revolution.
What is NDI|HX2?
NDI|HX2 is an updated version of NDI|HX1. NDI|HX2 also compresses the bandwidth, but is more efficient than NDI|HX1. With compressed bandwidth, users can have more devices on their LAN without running into latency issues. NDI|HX2 provides good quality output, low bandwidth and medium latency. The main difference compared to NDI|HX1 is that HX2 is truly a native NDI stream - all the way from the source device to the destination. This means it is a 'cleaner' implementation than HX1 and can potentially be more reliable, provide lower latency and give a more flexible connection which shares all the usual features of NDI.

FAQs
We have a complex light condition in our building and usually auto settings failed to deliver perfect image. Is there a way to adjust image manually?
BG-NDI cameras have the tools to adjust any video parameters - focus, exposure, color, image or level of noise reduction.
Does this camera include IR Remote Control?
Yes, all our cameras (excluding passive webcams) comes with IR Remote Control. You can use one remote control unit to control multiple alike cameras. You can control pan, tilt, zoom, navigate menu and use multiple camera preset positions which is very convenient in any application when you need quickly point camera into the predetermined spot and zoom accordingly (like selecting active person at the conference table during the meeting, or switching from general view of the stage to the speaker podium in house of worship).
Are these cameras POE?
Yes, BG-NDI cameras could be Powered Over Ethernet cable (POE) as well as included power adapter.
What is the total zoom of these cameras?
Total maximum zoom is a max optical zoom multiplied to max digital zoom. So for 12x optical zoom lenses and 10x digital zoom (all BG-NDI have 10x digital zoom) the total zoom will be 120X and for the 30x optical zoom lenses total zoom will be 300X. Reminder - digital zoom is a cropping image down to the center area with saving original aspect ratio and interpolating this image back to the original resolution - this programmable method not involving adjustments to the camera hardware. Expect degrading of image quality after reaching maximum optical zoom and using digital.
Can I use NDI over WiFi?
Not a great idea...yet. NDI technology is bandwidth-hungry. More to that - it sensitive to network infrastructure. If it is Ok for data to have lost network packages or coming not in a right sequence, having some bottle-necks on the way - it is not Ok for video-over-IP applications. So you will need to have Gigabit network switch and to connect your PC with ethernet cable. We are sure that soon it will be possible to have your video receiving PC connected wirelessly to the network... it just not there yet.
Can BG-NDI use NewTek’s virtual input?
BG-NDI is fully compatible with NewTeks NDI v4.0 - latest NDI library and compatible with all the tools NewTek created for NDI enabled devices.
