# NDI source

Video Capture SDK .Net VideoCaptureCoreX VideoCaptureCore

The NDI source is a network video source. It can be used to capture video from NDI cameras and NDI-enabled software.

To use NDI, you'll need to install the NDI SDK or NDI Tools.

# Enumerating NDI Sources

Enumerate NDI sources and add them to the combo box.

var lst = await VideoCapture1.IP_Camera_NDI_ListSourcesAsync();
foreach (var uri in lst)
{
    cbIPCameraURL.Items.Add(uri);
}

var lst = await DeviceEnumerator.Shared.NDISourcesAsync();
foreach (var uri in lst)
{
    cbIPCameraURL.Items.Add(uri.URL);
}

# Set NDI source

// Create an IP camera source settings object
settings = new IPCameraSourceSettings
            {
                URL = new Uri("NDI source URL")
            };

// Set the source type to NDI
settings.Type = IPSourceEngine.NDI;

// Enable or disable audio capture
settings.AudioCapture = false; 

// Set login information if needed
settings.Login = "username";
settings.Password = "password";

// Set the source to the VideoCaptureCore object
VideoCapture1.IP_Camera_Source = settings;

Use the IPPreview or IPCapture mode to preview or capture video from the device.

Create the source settings object using the NDI source URL.

var ndiSettings = await NDISourceSettings.CreateAsync(VideoCapture1.GetContext(), null, "NDI URL");

Or use the NDI name instead of the URL.

var ndiSettings = await NDISourceSettings.CreateAsync(VideoCapture1.GetContext(), cbIPURL.Text, null);

Set the source to the VideoCaptureCoreX object.

VideoCapture1.Video_Source = ndiSettings;
